Lloyd and the temporary CEO

[doggone]

But what if they have signed and sealed a deal we cant get out of.

 

Then we Strave 'Em Out

 

and yes it's Black & Gold, until it's Sold

Can't people just have a bit of patience!

 

The current team is easily good enough to go up.

 

Obviously the short and long term future investment as well as ticket prices are key agenda items to address, but investment isn't desperately required until promoted.

 

Sorry, but i have to disagree on that one, this squad is nowhere near good enough to get into the top 3. I am hoping you make me eat my words come May, but without paying for quality, Vale are going to struggle again come Feb/March :)

[PVTony]

Why are the three membrs of the board still in power after 85%+ of share holders gave a 'VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE' in them?

They must too involved with their own self importance and financial gain.

 

How can they be so two faced and arrogant?

 

They are still not being transparent, still being deceitful and still breaking promises.

 

If no £5million deal is announced tomorrow, (Tuesday) S.E.O. and Black & Gold should recommence.

agree, we are not good enough for top 3. If we had not played plymouth away saturday most other teams would of had more chance of taking points off us and the table would not look so healthy

Mike Lloyd owes his position as Chairman to B&G, SEO and NLV. Without the pro-change groups, Mr Bratt would never have resigned and Mike Lloyd would still be up a corner in the dark knowing nowt about what goes on at the club. The fact that he has reneged on an agreement to meet those fans and share the details of the investment with them tells you everything you need to know about his levels of integrity.

[tisdeano]

Sorry Jacko, for one moment I thought you mentioned integrity and a director in the same sentence :)

[Birches Head Fred]

It takes a good man to admit he was wrong . Several please note.

 

Noted, and admitted.

 

The plain truth is they don't want protestors, they don't want people who question what's going on, they don't care and will ride roughshod over anyone and everyone who stands between them and their aims.

 

They would not care if anyone on here (or anywhere else) anti-board never went again, indeed they would probably rejoice.

 

They hope to 'make-do' with the few thousand they hold sway to now....and yes, I include myself as a season ticket holder in that.

 

However, the plain fact is that they continue to bleed cash at every turn, they can't last forever but unfortunately, I believe, for many, they will last too long and many will leave never to return.

 

I hope they rot in Hell.

[Birches Head Fred]

They wont have paid the invoices yet.........:(

 

'What Invoices' ;)

[cheeky]

i have 3 options in my mind

 

1 accept the investment for what it is good or bad, accept real change at the club will not happen, return to the terrace blindly supporting because as meigh said it's what we do

 

2 reject all of the above and simply walk away and become a armchair supporter like the thousand or so others over the last 8 yrs

 

3 protest and cause so much **** that eventually they cave in and leave and allow an interim board to facilitate the change i desire

 

the more that time passes number 2 becomes the most viable option

 

I've done 3, the problem being, not enough people got behind it. Fair do's, we had 1500 of us for the March, and the protests post match were often well attended. However, due to the people renaging in their SEO pledge, it's all been a waste of time. I'm number 2 now. Apathetic fans with no ambition that allow a board only interested in self preservation to remain has killed my passion. They'll get the club they deserve. These so called "real fans" have already started booing at home matches and started threads on here criticising player. Hypocrites and idiots of the highest order.

[Heatwave]

Thought as this thread mentions the CEO I thought I'd mention something that happened this morning.

 

I'm signed up to a business related networking site called LinkedIn - as are probably many of you in OVFland. I received a request from someone I know through work to join his network, which I did, and then received the normal list of people I might like to link with. Nothing unusual in that, except this morning that list included Perry Deakin, 'CEO of Port Vale FC'.

 

I found it frankly bizarre because the work that I do has nothing to do with sports. Neither, as far as I know, does the guy I linked with, nor is he a Vale fan. It did give me my best laugh of the day though.

[fairportnick]

They'll get the club they deserve.

 

No club at all?

Why do people keep hanging on this wild assumption? We've failed to make the top seven with this team in the past two years.

Amen to that, brother.

[BIRCHES HEAD WHITES]

cannot argue with that really.

[Twitters]

So there was no Board meeting friday and no press release monday and there will be no meeting with the fans and shareholders while Lloyd has asked for an extra 24 hours to word the press release....so no change there and a catalogue of lies.

If this deal behind the shareholders backs by a Board of Directors with a vote of no confidence is not a 5 million investment with 1.2 million upfront then along with Bratt and Oliver the acting Chairman Lloyd should resign....

do not forget Lloyd has a vote of no confidence, has already kicked in with the lies and is frankly taking the michael.....thought it was meant to be "Black and Gold untill it's sold" not black and gold untill the old guard change hats and and tell yet more lies.

They simply must open talks with Mark Sims and open the books so that Mark Sims as elected by the shareholders can take control of the club and put an end to this regime...there is 5 million on the doorstep and a plan to take the club forward and if this deal cannot match it then it is not in the best interests of the club.

The big concern is that a new owner and CEO will find a club that has sold off the catering,pouring rights,hospitality and pre-seasons with even more debt and this secret underhand deal could further damage the value of the club to a new owner with many strings attached and like the council loan

a built in mechanism to make it as difficult as possible for any possible new owner.

This deal might only be 400k and the 24.9% the Board need to silence the voice of the shareholders such that they can never be challenged again via an EGM.....but even if it is under 24.9% it could effect the chance of other investment and the future of the club and must be put to the shareholders

along with any other investment offers....if it does not match the Mark Sims and Mo Chaudry offer to each individually invest 24.9% which is 1.2 million upfront then the deal is not acceptable...the shareholders must decide the future of the club not a set of small time disgraced Directors with a vote of no confidence.

This press release had better be the real deal and at least equal to the rejected 5 million investment with 1.2 million upfront or this vote of no confidence Board of Directors are not acting in the best interests of the shareholders and need to be challenged legally.

Either it is the deal of a lifetime or they must now finally resign.

 

The board to be fair never said that there would be a statement today. On the official site, they said there would be one this week. As for a 5 million investment, it was never that. It was a £1.2m investment with a possible directors loan (which would have to be paid back if it wasn't converted into shares) if needed. Also, the CEO is on a permanent contract so can hardly be called temporary.

 

While I was a fan of the Mo offer, it is only right that we stick to the facts and not go off on a tangent.
