Takeover

BREAKING NEWS.........the new stadium is never going to happen while Mr Fenty is in charge  

Actually, you don't need to buy 51% of the shares, what you need to do is align yourself with Mike Parker and The Trust and you only need 13.92% more shares for you to have a controlling interest.

I didn't realise you are the forum police. 👮‍♂️

No I am not but we have Lincoln fans on here who post more than you,

Why dont you come on and talk about how good the team are playing and what a good manager Jolley is becoming,

Plus the new signings there is more to this board than Fenty,

Come back and do that and I will be more civil with you until then good bye..

I think you're getting a little too obsessed with this forum again Pete. I don't have to post what you want me to, I post what I feel is necessary. Who cares how many times I post?? I don't come on here everyday unlike some people and if i was to say my thoughts on the manager and players I would be typing for a very long time (in a good way) I have nothing but admiration for the manager and the players and the way the team is developing.

Quoted from MuddyWaters

I find it a bit crass that the regime with the worst track record in the club’s history feels it has the moral objectivity to vet the next one.

Quite. Like the McCann's telling someone they wouldn't make a suitable baby sitter.

Maybe you can correct me on this but I have never known a club that was up for sale ( and there have been many over the last few years) advertise that the club was for sale either nationally or internationally. It's a known fact that Hull are up for sale but have you seen any adverts? All I've seen about this is interviews by the media with the owner.

Perhaps adverise is the wrong word but certainly make people who may be interested in a League 2 club aware it is for sale, which still comes back to my point that just mentioning on the club's website isn't really doing that to the wider world.

What a massive overaction yet again to a fairly inocuous statement. Same people that overacted to someone who had clearly too much time on the hands and created a spoof takeover bid story. Then perpetuated by every man and his dog who knew someone that had "heard the same" which then finally ended up in the media. Now Fenty has gone and "burst the balloon" by clarifying the issue.
Some need to get a grip and get back to simply supporting our brilliant manager and team.

I haven't read every post on here so apologies if this is taken out of contest.

Whilst there have been several claims of takeovers in the offing not sure how you can claim there has been a spoof takeover bid when John Fenty has just stated there was one.

You still wouldn't control the club whilst it owes Fenty in the region of £2m.

Quoted from KingstonMariner

Would whoever red-crossed this like to say why? What do you disagree with?

Still the muppets* keep silent.

So what part of JF saying that there was an interested party 2 or 3 months ago, who made an offer to take the club forward a spoof? Who's bubble has been burst exactly, apart from the long suffering fans? There were negotiations, some folk heard about them, and they came into the public domain. That is not the definition of a "spoof rumour".

All we have ever had and still have is the usual, "nothing to see here" statements. We have no idea why those overtures were rejected. JF may have asked for 20 million and that the new owners had to don lederhosen and ginger wigs to all home games. Or the supposed new regime may have offered 10 quid and second hand sideboard. Nobody knows apart from those involved. What we do know is that someone was interested because JF says so. Get a grip indeed.
