Mark Sims on P & G

[saintvaliant]

Jean just spoke very well asking some decent questions of Mark and making some great points.

[saintvaliant]

SEO wasn't really discussed with Bill today. Mark's view is that it's clear that the campaign will have an impact.

 

Makes a warning that if we aren't careful that we are the next Stockport in the making if something doesn't change.

[saintvaliant]

Reiterates that the joint bid wasn't in breach of the articles as they would have held less than 50% and that the article in the Sentinel was incorrect.

 

MS has been trying to get across to Bill today that it should be the will of the fans that is most important, not of any individual.

[saintvaliant]

Mark has discussed potential managers with Mo's team.

 

Very impressed with the potential CEO and they would have a target in mind for the managers job.

 

The person they have in mind is someone who would ordinarily not look at the Vale but is interested in the project that Mo is wanting to put in place.

[saintvaliant]

On does Mark have any confidence in the board.

 

MS view is that club needs a new direction and new investment.

 

Commends the board on what they have done in helping to save the club, but it is time for a new direction.

 

Believes the package Mo can bring can make a real difference.

[saintvaliant]

Quite bullish about why can't the club make the top flight - says that if they got to the Championship they would re-evaluate and look to see if they could go for the Premier.

[NW9Valiant]

Contracted Manager as well :D Let the guessing games begin

[Guest bart]

Goooaarrrrrnnn Mo and Mark....the sooner they are in the better.

==================

[saintvaliant]

Have to say that Mark is being extremely diplomatic with parts of questions that are potentially quite loaded.

 

Speaking very well, and clearly has a lot of passion for the club.

 

MS amazed that it has got this far and doesn't understand why the EGM hasn't already been called.

[saintvaliant]

MS thinks it will be one share, one vote at EGM.

 

MS view is that every shareholder should have the same voice. BB disagrees - hardly surprising.

 

MS view that the all should be listened to, not just the big players.

 

Mo and Mark happy to field any questions people have about the project prior to the EGM to help people make informed decisions on how to vote.

[Stevo]

Mo and Mark have an ex premiership manager lined up who they have already held discussions and who by the sounds of it would come in if they were in charge.

 

Someone from this list...

Currently contracted (as a manager?)

 

So also on this list...

Whole commercial aspect of the ground needs raising. Made special mention of the RW Suite and completing this.

 

Sees the uncompleted part of the ground as an icon of V2001's reign.

[saintvaliant]

On a lighter note, MS was due to get married in the Caribbean when Vale got promoted at Brighton.

 

Had to tune in for the final whistle after they got married to hear us go up.

 

Mo and Mark talking on regular basis. Looking to meet with their planned manager shortly.

 

Hopes Robbie stands up and listens to the voice of the fans. Thought the march was superb and praised the fans for their attitude at the march.

 

That's all as Mark had to go. Have to say, top man. If anyone has any doubts about this guy please listen again on the BBC website, please approach him with your doubts.

 

This guy has Vale in his blood, is willing to put his hand in his pocket and believes in the bid.

 

What more could you ask?

[timvalefan]

I can't see how having Mark Sims on board could not be beneficial to Vale, He sounded very proffesional and proud to be a fan.

[RAF Vale]

On does Mark have any confidence in the board.

 

MS view is that club needs a new direction and new investment.

 

Commends the board on what they have done in helping to save the club, but it is time for a new direction.

 

Believes the package Mo can bring can make a real difference.

 

I would say that's how the majority of those that want change feel.
