But on that argument shouldn't those who contribute more have a bigger say!
The further down that path you go the thicker the mud gets. It ain't broke so don't fix it!
If we can't trust our VIQI custodians it fails. Over a thousand supporters trust them, including you and I, and there is no indication on here that they can't be trusted so let them get on with it.

It is not about not trusting anyone on my part. I just think it would be useful when a statement is issued to state the current income as a total for the previous month so all donors can see the current state of play.
No problem with that!
I just hesitate when folk want a say in the team organisation based on a sub to VIQI.
I totally agree with James and dont understand why Martin has a problem with what James and others are asking.
I have been critical of the lack of an update on the numbers, so was very pleased with the update given and agree it is a really positive story for both the scheme and the club it supports. Was good to hear they have followed up on members who have left and hopefully we will see an increased push for new members. I think they have done a fantastic job.
I do agree a further few details would have given the full picture though rather then still leaving open questions. Monthly income/ any expenses and current bank balance.
Also how are the donation decisions made? Does the scheme now need to offer up ~£50k every 6 months for the club to actually run? or is a decision made as and when more funding is required? Is it split between an ongoing general donation and then other 1 offs for certain players? Does VIQI agree with the club what the money goes on? Hopefully it all goes directly to helping what happens on the pitch.
I think it would be good for the VIQI committee to meet with its members on an annual basis to outline the full financial picture, discuss what the committee has been doing, how they have made decisions and get some of the members views which they can then represent back to the club (if agreed by the committee).
Keep up the great work and I hope it continues to gain new members and begin to grow further as it really does differentiate us from other clubs.
