E-Mail from the Trust

Can anyone from the trust explain to me what transferring these shares solves long term, or is it a case of at the end of 2013 JF will ask for another 200,000 shares you will just give them to him...???

There will be a question and answer set up by the Trust. Please email all questions such as that one directly to enquiries@marinerstrust.co.uk

Quoted from Chris

On the advice of Supporters Direct I understand. There is only so much that can be said in 140 characters!!

Chris - do you happen to know what SD's reasoning was for a freeze on members eligible to vote?

Apologies - just seen your post above.  I'll email this question.

Quoted from Chris

Show me this or retract the statement because it just not true.

I give my honest impression based on what I see on here (and I can't read everything).
I don't have full knowledge of who's a member and who isn't but for those that are(or say they are), I'm struggling to find any arguments in favour of the No" cause. (to be fair Rodley Mariner was one)

If you or anyone else knows better I'd honestly appreciate to hear or see them simply to help me make a more informed decision.

That's all I'm asking.
Some of us have considered opinions, were not all idiots on the Fenty warpath !

No need for the your over-defensiveness IMO.

Were supoorters direct consulted throughout?

It is hard not to feel that the gift of these shares is a fricking albatross around the fans neck. . .

we seem divided at a time when we have been doing the biz on the pitch because up crops all of this sh1t!

I just cant help thinking that this plays into the hands of people with their own intrrests. . . Not denying fenty is a fan but i dont think for a second that his interest is completely altruistic.  He knows the fans are split on many issues and that there wont be a consensus. . . dovide and rule is the phrase!  

Consider this. . . if parker put in a million at the start of the season; we have a playing budget of 500k. . . why was it imperative that the tryst hand over their votes or else hearn has to leave.

I have a great deal of respect for folk who give up their free time and i cant fault their commitment yo the cause but overall. . . wuth no firm game plan, no knowledge of finances; no dealings regarding selling ir buying

I'm not getting involved in this discussion other that to say that as the release clearly communicates to you, the Trust board came to a majority decision, not a unanimous one. This was a difficult decision as it will be for the membership we are sure. Vote how you see fit and I hope you make the right choice.

I understand that and thanks for pointing it out but I was talking about the arguments flying around on the fishy.

I'll be voting yes but not sure I fully understand the advantages of a "no" (or even the disadvatages of a "yes") - that's all I'm saying.

Who knows, maybe there are none ?
God knows !

Agree and mine is already in Pat's post bag

80's Glory is back then. This forum had a brief nirvana at least...

I could wrong but surely the point of the share transfer and JF's proposed purchase, is to put him in a position wereby he holds sufficent shares that he can not be voted off the board by those other large share groups(Trust and Parker).

If this goes through Fenty wouldnt need, or want, anymore shares as, if he did he would have to make an offer for all the shares in GTFC.

I therefore deduce that he will not be coming back for anymore shares although I am no expert in this matter
