Says the board have rejected May’s offer to purchase £1m in shares to be used to “as contribution towards the cost of a new training facility for use of the Club and also the local community”. https://www.grimsby-townfc.co.uk/news/2020/december/club-statementAbsolute horseshit, for a kick off. Secondly, nobody invests a million quid in a failing club without wanting something in return, and certainly not a convicted fraudster.

It’s our fault we missed out on a £1million no strings share donation.

Yep, that’s how I read it. Must think we’re fuccking daft. So over the course of a 15-minute radio interview and a statement issued to the Telegraph, May decided not to mention this incredible act of philanthropy at all. He did, however, mention that he wanted to acquire a small number of shares, assist in the club relocation and introduce other investors. Anyone actually swallow this?

Who essentially gifts £1 million to a football club for which they've no emotional connection? His motivation just doesn't compute, unless he's so keen to improve his reputation that he'll throw money at the most desperate of businesses.

If he's got a spare £1m to donate to us, why isn't he using this money to as he quoted 'clear his name' ?

I can’t remember the article number but when Mike Parker bought the shares he triggered it.
“Under the current PLC rules once a shareholding gets to 30%+ they must make an offer to all other shareholders at the highest price paid.”
£1m of shares is well over 30% - why would it not trigger this time?

Wouldn't buying £1 million in shares have triggered him having to make an offer for everyone else's? Like what happened to Mike Parker when Fenty snaked him.
And where would this convicted felon's money have come from?

Think it’s 51% not 30. The threshold is when you can outvote all the other shareholders put together.

This just poses more and more questions, this has quite some way to run as that would have essentially made him the largest shareholder by some margin.

There are currently £2,377,900 worth of shares in issue another million of shares would take it to £3,377,900, £1m divided by £3,377,900 is 29.6%, so just under 30%.

“Give us a million quid for a new training facility. Which will mean I can sell GTFC for money. And I will give you all the work for our relocation, that we can do through a joint business enterprise.”
I have zero trust that Fenty and co are acting in the clubs best interests at all. First time I’ve said this....... Fenty out.

how does a convicted fraudster, not that long out of prison, suddenly come up with a million quid in spare cash?
and if it was a million, why did May mention a small purchase of shares?

By way of showing the fans displeasure at what is taking place I would suggest that no fans purchase tomorrow nights match on iFollow and continue this for the time being albeit season ticket holders may wish to watch to get some value for their money.

I'm sure there are some embarrassed people with GTFC right now but just who has suckered who? Of course the kangaroo court aka the Fishy will only believe what suits their agenda.Is there another demise for this board on the horizon?

I’ve a feeling this will roll on and we’re going to finally see Fenty’s downfall here.
For all the embarrassment it’s causing, if the end game is Fenty and his cronies clearing off, then I’ll watch on with a hint of excitement as this mess unfolds.

Well.
According to the accounts in companies house, Mr Fenty’s shareholding is 975000. Mr Fenty wants to sell but wants to keep control. Mr Day wants control but can’t be a director. Hmm.

Think the club are saying it was to be a donation, but who donates that sort of dosh without expecting anything back, not to mention wondering where the hell he got the money from.
Also, why couldn't they just say we have rejected his offer, without telling us the amount. It's clearly them saying, look how much money you fans have lost us.

It’s definitely 30% (Part 28 of the companies act) but as therealjohnlewis has rightly corrected me (here and I think on twitter) the additional shares would make it 29.6% so it wouldn’t trigger.

Is this all the club can offer as a statement after everything that has been said, reported (locally and nationally), resulted in the resignation of our deputy council leader?? Are you really going to imply that the supporters of this club are in someway responsible for GTFC losing out in a shiny new training facility? What no apology, no resignation(s). Your like parasites, sucking out all the goodwill the great fans generate year after year. You live in a deluded universe were you laud it over your imaginary kingdom. You couldn’t make it up. Your a bunch of idiots, despised by most, except your most loyal servants. An embarrassment to the Town. Fenty you failed to bring this club success in any form, failed to deliver on a stadium, failed to use your political connections for the benefit of GTFC, failed in your role in the council, failed in judgment. Failure. And to your merry band of twerps, you should be ashamed of yourselves!!

Not sure even out super duper hi-tech online club shop would cope with a £1m order!
Ha it would need to be jotted down in the trusty notebook I meant legally? Anyone can buy shares in a PLC.

How can the two trust members who sit on the board , allow the rest of Gtfc board to treat the Supporters of OUR club with such disrespect . I think the two of them should resign on principle , they obviously don't have any influence on the board and the confidentiality clause stops them informing us of whats going on , so what's the point of being on it.

The Trust will be doing something. Sit tight, I would expect an announcement in the next 48 hours.

how does a convicted fraudster, not that long out of prison, suddenly come up with a million quid in spare cash?
and if it was a million, why did May mention a small purchase of shares?
Mr Day - you have really gone down in my estimation. You came across as having some morals
I don’t know the value but he’s just sold his share of a company to his business partner.

How does a Public Limited Company reject an offer to buy shares exactly?
The board of directors decide how many shares there actually are and would have to agree to issue more.

That figure has to be fictitious.
As you say, all a bit Dr Evil...
The club have tried so hard to blame the fans, like we should feel guilty for turning down a million quid. They’re flipping pathetic.
The statement does nothing to highlight why a flipping random bloke who can’t acruslly be involved directly with a club, a man who has been copulated off from other clubs and now suddenly has an affinity with us would want to hand over cash that we’re not sure he has or hasn’t got...

See above. Anyone can legally buy shares in a plc but they have to be allotted and/or unowned. All GTFC’s allotted shares are owned (£2,377,900) and the board would have to sanction the creation of extra shares.

May: Here is £1m, no strings attached, which I am giving to club (owned by my business partner). Enjoy.
Board: Sorry, the fans call the shots, we don’t want the money.
Fans: Sell the club to Shutes
Board: erm....no.

He did love Notts County and Chesterfield for a bit but then he really, really loved us and we broke his heart. For shame Mariners fans, for shame.

I’m assuming this May chap will be heading down the road now...I mean Swann might be interested.
Or will he look at Mansfield, Burton?

When was the last share issue and how many were released?

So. If this had not been outed as it was over the weekend and had been allowed to run its course. How exactly did the Board think they were ever going announce a £1m investment by Mr May as something positive?
Did they actually envisage the Blundell Park PR machine pulling that one off?
It's just absolutely incredible.

Very handy the timing of that sale wasn’t it. How convenient that he happened to co-own a company with Mr Fenty who very conveniently bought him out. Gave Mr May a nice fistful of loadsamoney for his investment in the club didn’t it?. So who was actually buying the shares in reality then, May or Fenty? For some reason I just have a feeling in my bones that those deals are the top of a very mucky iceberg.

According to companies house somewhere between the 1st September and 30th November 2020. 155 ordinary shares of £100 each (£15,500) Before that would be summer - the file on companies house says between 1st June and 31st August 711 ordinary shares of £100 each (£71,100) were issued.

They must think we are totally fking stupid. Our training facility has just been upgraded with two new portacabins and Sky TV , why the fck does it need £1m of investment now ? Eh...eh.... Mr Day....got you there.
In all seriousness though, the training facility part said "for community use".....now as £1m really doesnt get you alot nowadays when it comes to brand new developments i suggest this £1m (if it actually did exist as the true sum) could have only been a lead investment to unlock further funding from the council Town Deal and the only way to do that would for it to be a community facility.
Ohhhhh ...Town deal....council....regeneration.... ducks are starting to line up in a row here

Of the shares issued just over 40% of them lie in the boardroom (JF owns 975k the others reasonably insignificant amounts) Of the remaining shares I think Mike Parker has about 20% and the Mariners Trust 15%. I’m not sure, but I think the guy with the ticketing website (Newman?) owns a large amount too. The rest will be people like myself with £100 and will be dotted all over the place.

As May would have been precluded from being on the board, control would have lain outside of the boardroom - very much tongue in cheek this, but who would Fenty have threatened to sell this time unless the Trust handed their shares over to him? 🤔🤭

If he's got a spare £1m to donate to us, why isn't he using this money to as he quoted 'clear his name' ?
Which one?

It’s definitely 30% (Part 28 of the companies act) but as therealjohnlewis has rightly corrected me (here and I think on twitter) the additional shares would make it 29.6% so it wouldn’t trigger.
I stand corrected.
