Board meeting....

[Alan Baker]

-Any and all deals that benefits the club.

I-t wouldn't be influenced in the slightest if they liked football or not, or supported Vale or not. I'm undecided whether it would be advantageous to have a vale fan invest or not. Their vision may be clouded sometimes but obviously their passion would be greater. Spose it would have to be case by case.

-I would be prepared to give Lloyd the chance to show what he can do. Bratt and Oliver have had their chances and need to step down.

-Wouldn't mind that Bill Gates chap.

 

What's the minimum, immediate ££ deal that you would deem acceptable?

[Aussie Rules]

The benchmark is £1.2M in cash up front, £5M in total available to progress the club. Obviously if the new investor cannot do this, the board have failed, by coming up with an inferior deal.

 

Yes, so much water under the bridge re The Bid, but that's my understanding too: £1.2M cash to buy new shares.

 

Will be interesting to see what PD & ML bring to the table.

[Jinkin John Jeffers]

IMO I can't see any news until after the Bradford game. Through fear of backlash.

[Regal Beagle]

What's the minimum, immediate ££ deal that you would deem acceptable?

 

I think you are crazy if you have a minimum limit to what is acceptable investment.

 

I thought we were desperate? Surely we can't turn down any investment for being too small!

 

So my answer is, there is no limit for me. I would judge all investment opportunities by their individual merits.

Should the deal involve the appointment of a new CEO, marketting people, secretary?

I have absolutely no idea.

 

If it benefits the club then I'm for it.

But surely, RB, we can't sell the family silver for a pittance just because we're in financial ****-street?

Remember to take approx. 55k off any investment to pay off Lord Bill Bratt MBE. He remortgaged one of his many houses to save Vale you know.

It wont be a deal like that............They are going for the long term slow drip effect with all the current incumbents staying in power.

I'd sell a stake in the family silver.

It's pretty funny watching a bun fight about something no one knows about. Not sure why Mr Regal is so wound up about it. The other people have at least the excuse of past disappointment. Whatever the deal, a hard core of professional protestors on here will be against it. I'll keep an open mind for now.

 

if its 1.2m up front i will back it

[Tosh]

 

It must not be forgotten the damage they have done The worst board of Directors in living memory

 

Indeed! It's not over yet either which is very scary!

[IDF]

. Just take a step back, they're getting abuse here for trying to secure £1.2 million investment.

 

Really? is that what this new investment offer is?

[Valiant Haze]

I think the reason for all this speculation, worry, scepticism etc... Is that if the board do as many think they will with this investment deal, then it will be too late to bash them after the deal is signed. The club may well have been sold down the river by then.

 

The truth is that numerous supporters just do not trust them. I can wholeheartedly say that I understand why!!

 

If the deal is put in front of the supporters/shareholders to decide, then that may just remove a little of the scepticism.

 

There's none of the promised openess with the supporters, it's not only shown through obscure glass, but with the curtains closed too.
