The Share Issue statement from the OS last Friday

Quoted from barralad

Crikey, where do I start with this...I know we've been over this before but the timing of the "coming to a head" of this situation was brought about because the next round of funding was needed to be sorted out.

but that's one of the many questions outstanding which we won't get an answer to, was this "next round of funding" already part of the funding promised a while back, or not?

Quoted from Ipswin

Silly boy, are you actually old enough to vote?

In fact what is the voting situation of any U16s who are Trust members?

Im in my 20's so I think I can, best ask my mum first, maybe she will let me play out too if I'm lucky  

Judging by the way you post, you are a man in your 40's who's lonely and bitter, thus takes out his frustrations and negativity on a forum for the team he "supports", finding nothing but negatives in one of our best periods in years.

Well the best 4 months anyway

Ipswin gave up his Phyllosan many moons ago !!

Quoted from BlackBoots

I suggest that 99% of fans realise Hearn cannot be sold until the season is over. Hardly news Ipswin!

Lets just hope 51% of Trust members realise it as the threat that we would have to sell Hearn if he didn't put in any more cash appears to have been Fenty's main threat, sorry strongest argument, used to pursuade the Trust to gift him the shares

Quoted from Chris

Well the best 4 months anyway  

Four months is better than nothing I suppose, whens the last time we had a half decent squad before this season.

The selling of Liam Hearn is not a factor in my decision - what did people used to say on here? 'No one person is bigger than the club?'  I'd like to think that we were more than a one-man team.  I'd like to think that if Hearn went, our managers would have the ability to search out someone else with the potential to bring us success.  And I'd like to think that our current (relative) success is based more on hard work, determination and team spirit rather than the prowess of one individual.    It's what Rob Scott keeps banging on about all the time anyway, so hopefully it's true.  Because Liam Hearn could be injured tomorrow and if we can't succeed without him, what then?

The bigger picture for me is whether or not the club will survive at all without any further input from John Fenty.  He is not guaranteeing any long term financial support.  Just short term.  The priority has to be a way of finding long term financial support for the club, and / or the club being able to live within its means without going under.  If I had to choose between success or survival, I would choose survival, but ideally I would like both.

Difficult decision on which way to vote.  It goes against the grain for me to vote yes, when I believe the club is being held to ransom.  Mr Fenty is offering the club a short term guarantee for finance and survival.  My instinct would be to offer him a short term deal in return - loan him our shares on the understanding that he will return them when his funding runs out.  Seems fair to me, but I don't know if it's practical or legal to do things that way - I don't know enough about business or finance.

Insults prove nothing only the weakness of your point of view

Quoted from barralad

A response that says far more about you than it does me fella....

Quite, probably in the same way that your 7,500 plus posts indicates that you don't have much of a life beyond message boards.  

Oh look Barralad has to give me a negative vote because I'm not one of his little puppets.  What a sad sad man.
