Ok Ok.....here is my latest theory..

No place on the board but does the shareholding stand for 27% of the voting rights at the forthcoming AGM? If so then could a GTST/Parker cooalition sweep the current board out of power and elect themselves with a new mode of operating ?

Quoted from Career Underdogs
I am really concerned for the future of GTFC following the gift of £500k of share to them by Mike Parker.

The Supporters Trust is now the biggest shareholder. Year after year Fenty has had to put money into the club in order for it to survive and so has Mike Parker more recently. However, apart from having a shareholding in the football club, the Supporters Trust has no other finance to keep bringing into the club to support it.

Fenty wont put any more cash in and neither will Parker. Why would they when they are now minority shareholders. So where is this much needed money going to come from in the future?

Don't missunderstand me, I actually wanted Fenty out even though he has put plenty of money in over the years. However I wanted him replaced with somebody that had the financial clout to carry on supporting us and I hoped this would be Mike Parker. But the Supporters Trust is practically penny-less. Having shares in the business means nothing at all. It is just a paper figure. What we needed was somebody to come in with cash behind them.

I actually think that by accepting the free share offer, that the Supporters Trust have actually made a bad move and one that could see the end of GTFC. They should have refused the offer of the shares from Mike Parker which would have left him no choices other than to keep his shares and abide by shareholding laws.

Mr McGee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

why do the idiots have such a problem with GTST. FFS the Trust would give the supporters a real voice, yet those morons who criticise have no real alternatives.

Well who else is willing to put money in? Maybe the Trust could have people with good contacts that could attract interest.

Gier is happy to show us off to Norway for example.

All is not lost.

Could be worth a go - those Norwegians bought Wimbledon didn't they? I forget how it panned out but assume it was pretty successful.
