Why buy OLD shares and not players?

[ethan and archies dad]

A few people have touched on a statement made by Mr Thompstone’s in today’s Sentinel article. It seems to have got lost in the forum and I think it needs its own thread. (Admin please merge/delete if you disagree) He clearly states”

 

“ There was a very preliminary inquiry as to whether I would be interested in selling my shares to potential investors”

 

So the board are trying to purchase OLD shares, so no money goes into the club. The purchasing of any shares of course strengthens their position, making the task of removing them at the EGM/AGM harder.

 

I find this totally amazing considering we cant afford to sign players even on loan, and this has been stated in the press.

 

If any further evidence was needed for the few pro board people remaining that this lot are all for themselves, this surely must be it. I would suggest this is highlighted to anyone who is pro board (or is all for the old guard coming back)

 

The sooner we are rid of these leaches the better.

It's about not losing control and preserving the interests of the leeches and nothing to do with the best interests of the club. Vile behaviour

[cheeky]

If this doesn't show those who are still pro-Bratt et al that they are self serving, nothing will.

 

It really does astound me how people can support any of the old or current regime with the evidence that has come to light. Anyone who does should be sectioned without question.

Why are they so desperate to cling on to power.......... Do you think that they could have done illegal things perhaps:shifty:

I'm wondering if they can't use the nil paid shares. They don't have enough shares to win the vote; they would have to buy a shed load of new shares to win (and have no money and no investors)so........ their only chance is to turn the NO votes (against the Board) into YES votes (for the Board). Just a thought.

can the board still buy shares even now an AGM/EGM has been called

[Caroline Oakes]

An EGM hasn't been called. And yes they can unless the board say differently.

The OP is spot on and it deserves to be highlighted that the board yet again they fail to act in the best intrests of the club but purely for themselves

 

I wonder where they are getting the money from, hope its not the mortgage money they are using again taking money out of the club to preserve their own self intrests mmmmmm

It seems like they have "investors" waiting to buy. Maybe those that were at the Moathouse.

thanks Caroline.

If there are really investors waiting, surely NEW shares = new money into the club....... are soles they are!

Surely the shares belong to Deakin, Miller, and possibly Hank, although they have not bought them. only they can decide whether to use the votes or not, or to give out the proxies. In thier position I would hand them to the SC in order to get rid of the leeches that conned them into believing that they would be welcome at a thriving football club. ============
