Will we hear anything official coming from the club about the (sorry) state we are in, and address some of the players movement/dissatisfaction we are reading about?
Whilst an obvious answer may be "If you are a member, then go and ask questions at the AGM" that's not always practical, possible or timely.

Supporters like us should be seen as the moral owners of clubs, with far greater connection, commitment and advocacy than people have with other businesses. Having a suitable system of supporter involvement in place is undoubtedly beneficial for both supporters and the club.

Man U apparently have a Fans’ Advisory Board (the “FAB”), a body set up to facilitate in-depth consultation between the club and a group of fan representatives on strategic matters affecting the club and fans. The objective is to increase fan input into the club’s decision-making processes and ensure that the fans’ perspective is heard at the highest levels of the club. I don't know the details of how it works, but seems one way to connect?

Will we ever be in a position to have answers, beyond the verbal diarrhea masquerading as newsworthy items?
Or is this a convenient parasol for the board, to hide under anyway, so no interest in coming out to the sun?

Regards to all
 
"If you listen to the fans, pretty soon you'll be sitting up there with them."
Bennett or Jack Gibson said this but originally attributed to some NFL coach. It has a lot of truth to it. Fans should be fans and administrators should administrate. Fans can air their views on social media, forums etc. but should not have a formal role to play in club operations. One read through these forums should be enough to convince anyone of that! On one hand we want the club to provide us with regular updates on player movements, etc. but on the other we get the "Edgar Britts" when the club or agents leak. Silence is the best way to manage player negotiations, until you are in a position to announce.

And yet all the Man U fans have been campaigning #Glazersout for years so does the "FAB" really work?

You should start your own podcast and then organise a petition.
That'll fix everything.

That would be way too simplistic and naïve for anyone (me included) to believe. The aim of the OP is to suggest that some form of communication from the club (not from unknown sources) in time of crisis may be in order.

Richo's done a few interviews where he's outlined the plan. One very recently. I don't know what else you want him to do.
