PTFC Trust is the Football Club’s majority shareholder, and “owns” the club, the Trustees (The Jags Trust & The Jags Foundation) do not “run” the Club on a day-to-day basis.
This distinction is often explained as the Club being “fan owned, but not fan run”.
Some bigger decisions require shareholder approval, but this is dealt with separately under the Club-Trust Agreement.
The intention is that an elected presence on the Club Board will bring a greater fan focus to the club’s decision making. However, fan representative directors will still be expected to act independently of the Trustees.
They should exercise their own judgement about what is in the best interests of the Football Club when discharging their director duties.
