Sluffy response would be how can they do this when they haven't held any elections yet.
Look forget about me and ask yourselves these questions - no need even to post them here - just ask them of yourselves.
IF the club can keep the academy full time should they - yes or no?
IF the club can't afford to keep it open themselves should they ask others for help to do so - yes or no?
Is the deadline for the club to make that decision at the end of July - yes or no?
Is the ST reason for being to help the club - yes or no?
Have the ST sought some sort of a mandate from its members by questionnaire on its way forward - yes or no?
Did that mandate come back with 85% of its members replies wanting it to be actively involved with the academy - yes or no?
If the club asks the ST for help with the academy which requires action by the end of July should the ST at least look to explore someway / anyway it could help in lines with the mandate it had been given and its financial position and legal requirements of it - yes or no?
Is that what the ST actually did according to its letter bearing in mind after July the full time academy will no longer be in existence - yes or no?
Make your own minds up!
