A group calling itself the 'Glentoran Supporters' Union' has written directly to club owner Ali Pour
Glentoran fans have written directly to owner Ali Pour calling for a "root and branch review" into the club's failings on and off the pitch.
They did reach the final of the County Antrim Shield and are preparing for the semi-finals of the Irish Cup, but it's the club's failure to close in on a first Gibson Cup since 2009 that has left fans questioning the current structures on Mersey Street. In a statement, the group - calling itself the Glentoran Supporters Union - said: "On Thursday 14th March representatives from Glentoran Supporters Clubs met to discuss the structures set up by Glentoran FC since the acquisition of the club by Ali Pour in 2019. We wish to put it on record that this is not a case of Glentoran Supporters challenging Mr Ali Pour and being ungrateful for his generous investment.
"To be blunt - Ali Pour has entrusted the wrong people with his money, individuals who do not have the necessary skills or experience to run a professional football club. It has not worked and to let it continue would be negligent in the extreme. "Additionally, it is our hope that Ali Pour will agree to meet with representatives of our supporters clubs, something that has not yet happened since the purchase of the club in 2019. We are after all the lifeblood of Glentoran FC.
