Quoted from TheRealJohnLewis
Serious question to the trust and JF.  When JF sells all his shares to relinquish control of the club, will he be gifting the shares back to the trust or will he be profiting the half-million?


Correction, £500k was what Parker invested into the club and I believe it was £200k that was passed from the Trust to JF.

The question still stands and I'm not holding much hope of it being answered!

Give it a rest, you can't change the past. The Trust and other similar groups aligned to other clubs are well meaning enthusiastic amateurs (no offence Barra) who are just trying to make a difference.

Though I'm not completely sure of the details but they where not the ones issuing the threats and backing people into corners.

Maybe so. But if the Trust want to be a credible force, surely they need their board directors to have a meaningful say?

If this is a reply to my last post then it concerns what happens going forward with the shares and the sale of the club and whether the trust will be reimbursed.

Not at all and I get what you mean.

Meaningful Say?

Whatever anyone says it was still a balderdash decision for the Trust to drop their trousers, bend over and get shafted.


Did you sign up and vote?

Quoted from pizzzza


Hindsight is indeed a wonderful thing but so are the facts. Basically Fenty threatened the sale of Liam Hearn unless the shares were handed over and also the Trust controllers recommended that the membership vote for handing over shares.


Oh it was ridiculous, dont get me wrong, and Fenty effectively blackmailed the trust. But if people saw that and felt strongly enough, I trust they signed up and voted. If not, they are arguably just as culpable and certainly have no room to whinge now.
