Why only 51%? You would have thought with their sort of money they would have gone for the majority. It would give them more clout in the boardroom surely.I can’t for one second believe astute businessman if they wanted to buy a football club would say right let’s let the club go into administration and lose 12 points then we will take it over.
A look our clubs shareholding (please somebody help me out here as I am busy doing jobs) shows the 3 big money men have 51% between them. All will be announced soon enough I think. Maybe they would all like to be here at that time and although I don’t know any of the people saying this will happen but they seem to all be respected posters.
Sometimes when reading this forum I think people almost want the club to fail so they can moan, I know isn’t true but sometimes it just sounds that way.
What’s taking the time Colin, has everything been agreed etc?Everything you've said in this post is complete rubbish.
People are certainly looking for problems that don't exist. Businessmen at this level don't play about with things on a whim.I can’t for one second believe astute businessman if they wanted to buy a football club would say right let’s let the club go into administration and lose 12 points then we will take it over.

51% is a majority!Why only 51%? You would have thought with their sort of money they would have gone for the majority. It would give them more clout in the boardroom surely.
It maybe but not much of a majority of 2 for all their wealth I would have thought they would have acquired more than 51%51% is a majority!
It's not as if there are competing interests here. The board have all worked with each other on several projects and are all agreed on the direction the club is going in.It maybe but not much of a majority of 2 for all their wealth I would have thought they would have acquired more than 51%
Just would have thought they may have gone for 80+% but yes I know what you mean about the board working together. All we need is that statement announcing the change of ownershipIt's not as if there are competing interests here.

itll be when the new board can present a visually spectacular announcement ... probably not long after oct 4th ?Just would have thought they may have gone for 80+% but yes I know what you mean about the board working together. All we need is that statement announcing the change of ownership
Fingers crossed thenitll be when the new board can present a visually spectacular announcement ... probably not long after oct 4th ?
Because nobody is going anywhere as has been said and maybe agreed.Why only 51%? You would have thought with their sort of money they would have gone for the majority. It would give them more clout in the boardroom surely.
If I was in the process of buying a club in the current climate, I’d want to make sure we have definitely passed the point of there being any more lockdowns on the horizon, and the prospect of playing in front of an empty stadium again.Not sure I buy the physical location of parties as the reason for the delay. Zoom, MS Teams, Skype, DocuSign, Email etc have all been used to help keep the wheels turning for the rest of the world during the past 18 months.

Great. We’re going to sign another one that says he’s a left winger but actually plays on the right....

Wrong, he plays in Defence (on the back of the money spent going into Iraq for WMD)Great. We’re going to sign another one that says he’s a left winger but actually plays on the right....
