Takeover Update

Quoted from DB

I didn't know the word etiquette was used in business anymore. Anyhow I like most on this site are under the firm Impression that GTFC LTD has been run into the ground. Any assets from 16 years ago have been severely stripped along with the failure to invest in the business model.

Whilst the name has remained the business has underperformed on a grand scale from its heyday. Thankfully fans and those who privately invested and became shareholders have helped the business to survive the depths of NL.  I could go on. ( Yes shareholders I have praised you and deservedly so)

I cannot see anything unprofessional in saying that we've come to the rescue and wish to  do ABC - XYZ or whatever.

You really are a first grade tosspot aren't you, there's thing such as NDA's etc. They've not laid out plans because they have respect for us as fans and the current board and don't go round shouting nonsense for nonsense sakes like you. We aren't entitled to know what they want to do with it as they haven't even got control of the club yet. First bit of positivity around the club in years and people like you want to start questioning every single aspect. They're successful for a reason, they don't sit around trying to be edgy like you, they get the job done and to a high level due to previous experiences. I for one have met and know Jason and he is a footballing man, he loves the club and has attended Blundell Park long before he was even involved in being an owner, he doesn't just spout around about being a custodian. He will do right by this football club because it's in his blood just like you and me. May not have a clue about running a football club but if you look at his previous work, not one of the companies are in the same industry, because it doesn't matter what industry you are in the job title stays the same. Long to a better future under Schutes, Stockwood and Petit.

I think you are a bigger tosspot. verything you have argued in their favour is pure conjecture or wrong. Respect for fans? rubbish. He is a fan of the club - so am I but I know nothing about running a football club. Getting the job done? So they sat around doing nothing after Fenty snubbed them and it was only the reaction of the fans/trust that got them bag negotiation. Hardly a pro active business team

Quoted from Northbank Mariner

Oh p!ss off DB, you are trying to be controversial for controversial sake!..realist had a dig about 3 men, who are willing to buy this sh!tshow of a club.
Right at the outset of saying Head of Terns had been agreed all parties agreed no further statements would be issued until the transaction of burning Fentys shares and paying back his debts were concluded. That's pretty much where we are, so take a back seat and wait, we will all find out what SS&P have planned for the club in due course.

Why don't you f off under the turd you crept from under. Realise in business nothing is certain until :-

Money changes hands, law of contract. Promise what you like but until paid in FULL it's not yours.
i's dotted and ts crossed
and eventually 'the fat lady sings'

wrong I'm afraid. Think you will find, in the fullness of time, that the Trust had very little to do with it. At best they have been used by various parties as an 'honest broker' or perhaps ,if one were being a little more cynical, as a smokescreen to cover various parties moves
You should also remember that the initial revelations about May's involvement, which came out via Lloyd Griffiths' twitter account, was heavily engineered. i am still intrigued as to who tipped off the media, who in turn channeled it through Lloyd.
It is also worth pointing out that it would be very difficult, and probably counter productive, for them to have done anything publicly after Fenty had given them the middle finger so publicly.
The timeline also makes you wrong. The furore was triggered on Saturday 12 December and just 10 days later Holloway was resigning, saying that the club was be sold (5-6 working days). i suggest that the speed of events supports the idea that the consortium didn't just decide on Sunday 13th to go for it again. Far more likely is that they knew the opportunity would present itself again and had all the finance etc. ready and waiting. Don't forget that these 3 are heavily involved in the Gy regeneration already, so will be fully aware of all the politics involved.
My guess would be that they had an inkling that Fenty was going to screw up at some stage, so had all their ducks in a row, just biding their time and waiting for the moment. Lloyd then presented them with that opportunity

Not facts ,but my best guess, given some of the things i've been told.

PS for all the doubters, try to have a listen to Tony Butcher's forensic dismantling of Fenty and his thoughts on the triumverate

Pooh, touchy little petal aren't you!..what's up DB,, red cross brigade getting to you?..face the fact you keeping beating the wrong drum!...

Quoted from realist

We could have change, to a worse ownership. What if their only interest is to aid their regeneration money making? All we know about them is that they contain tyre kickers, family butchers, and a guy who peddles positivity. Do they know anything about owning a football team, I fear not?
