Fenty Out

Quoted from crusty ole pie

If only it was that simple any large issues of shares needs to have approval of the current board of directors and they would hardly vote for something that would undermine their position,

in the words of Capt Mainwairing... "  i was just waiting to see who spotted that, well done " .  

So John...i can buy the entity of the , club pay off all your loans and take total control for around 3-4 mill....or if you would just release a bucket load more of shares i could buy them and takeover for half the price...what do you say then eh ??

It doesn’t really matter who owns the club it’ll be the same lot running the club day to day that has been for the last 20 years.

Like everyone else I think JF should either sh*t or get off the pot, but the whole situation is bigger than that.

The whole club is rotten to the core. From the directors to the office staff, if any of the old guard wanted what was best for the club they would fu*k off so the club can hire people with the relevant skills required for a modern day football club.

Arrr but wait he would not object to someone buying 51% then under company rules they would be obliged to buy the other 49% hence allowing mr Parker to put money into the club by buying shares and not benign loans

That is true, sadly.

I do have some sympathy for those working for a regime that so underperforms - it must be very dispiriting. A fish rotting from the head comes to mind.

It can be done from a very low level. Newport County are healthier than they have been in years since a fan takeover.

Quoted from Meza

Could us fans buy shares? And how many would we need to gain the majority?

We can. See Golly's post for the numbers needed.

If I remember correctly, the Trust owns about 22%, so the fans as a body* already do own a substantial chunk of the club.

* apart from individual fans who own, usually, small amounts.

If you want to see the fans gaining a majority, the best way is to join the Trust and lobby for it to happen - the current Trust board doesn't have the appetite or doesn't think members have the appetite for it.

Quoted from rancido

I agree with what you say but when you consider a lot of posters on here think even our present ST is too expensive then I'm sure it would be difficult to co_ordinate what you propose.

Likewise I agree they would never all part with the extra money and I never proposed anything though I would love to

Sadly the current Trust are not the answer either they are really good people with the best interests of GTFC and it`s fan`s at heart . Crucially in my opinion they don`t have the stomach for the conflict which again sadly is long overdue to put things right here with this Club.The Trust badly need an injection of people who won`t simply put up with the BS and spin and total lack of enthusiasm to change anything that resonates from Blundell Park . Doubtful the Trust see things the same and so on and on we go.................

.

Indeed, that is a fair chunk of shares. I wonder how the %s of ownership between Trust, JF, etc. would look if the Trust hadn't made the ridiculous decision to gift those shares to Fenty?

Thanks KM.  Will check out Gollys Post.  Was wondering if a lot of fans where to buy shares how many would be needed.
