Is The Fat Lady Still Singing?

[JB78]

Newton or IMO nobody would want a seat on the board at this moment in time unless there is a takeover...so I cannnot see LLoyd being that daft???

 

its not daftness its desperation and delusion

TY LB.....I know you took this as quotes from OVF and has not come from yourself or MO himself but was there really a need to place those lines in your article?

 

Thank goodness you are now the minority.

Dear All,

 

Surely enough is enough now even for the most ardent board supporter?

 

We have the prospect of an EGM being “forced” upon the board by the NLV Shareholders.

 

However why must it be a contentious affair? Surely it is now time for the board to collectively put the needs of PVFC before their personal issues with Mo?

 

I will say what I have said since Xmas - all that is needed is for this board to collectively recommend the bid to the shareholders and to support the hand-over. This can be done by Mr Bratt & Co tomorrow. We do not need to be put through a protracted and tiresome process in the run up to the EGM. This will ensure the hand over is dealt with in a civilised and dignified manner.

 

We have a revised bid on the table embracing the V2001 Charter comprising of Mo Chaudry and Mark Sims - both local and self made businessmen with substantial means at their disposal. We have a credible business plan backed with people experienced in the business of football. What is wrong with this bid?

 

I see I am accused of hype and self-promotion of late by posters whenever I state the blindingly obvious but I simply cannot accept a dislike or mistrust of Mo (often generalised and never specific) as a good enough reason for sitting back and allowing the demise of this club.

 

In response to the “we just don’t trust him charge” (or as I noticed in 1 post “my instincts don’t trust him”) - ask yourself this question: Can all these people be wrong? : Mark Sims; Phil Taylor; Robbie Earle; Mick Cullerton; Phil Sprosson; Martin Foyle; Andy Porter - the list goes on. All have sat down with Mo and discussed the proposal and plan and all have been suitably impressed and reassured to speak out in support.

 

I listened to a caller named Dave on P&G tonight reminiscing about Bill and V2001, and not wanting Mo. Let me be clear - we have always acknowledged the good work Bill and V2001 did for this club bringing it out of administration. But our criticism is not about the past - it is about the present and so pontificating about the good old days solves nothing for now or the next few seasons.

 

I read on OVF that this board are so stubbornly desperate to not sell to Mo (“over my dead body”) that Mike Lloyd is alleged to have asked Graham Shaw yesterday to get Mike Newton to contact the board as they will now listen to his bid.

 

Bill and the board, you have our contact numbers. I can rearrange my week at short notice to come to the Vale to sort this out and we can give the fans some good news before Saturday.

 

No - I am not going to hand over my business plan to you as it contains sensitive information (marketing initiatives; potential sponsors; managerial candidates etc). This document is for the new board if the bid is accepted.

 

You have sufficient information to accept the bid - you know the sums involved (24.9% + 24.9% + up to additional £3.8M as per Mo’s brochure). You have the bid outline as per the brochure. You have as much information as the shareholders who have shown their support via the NLV poll and that is the information the shareholders are being inviting to vote upon. It is all there for you to support the bid as I invite you to do so.

 

The season is over. Now is the time for change so we have the best of the summer months to appoint a manager, sort out the players (in and out), get the season tickets resolved, and start to improve the business. We need time to prepare for next season - we do not want to be walking in as late as July. We need to be in by the beginning of June.

 

Mo, Mark and I remain as resolved as ever to make this happen. We are not going away. Please do the right thing now - this week. We await the phone call.

 

Regards

 

Totally agree LB the work needs to start NOW.

I've sat on the fence for months and I'm finally fed up. People have tried to convince me that Mo's the way forward and finally I've made my mind up.

 

Better late than never, Mo/Mark you have my full backing.

I'm with you on that, same here.

[Heron X Valiant]

I really can't believe that the board have any supporters left at this stage of the gameit obvious that they will see the club go under rather than release their boney handed grip on it.

[Andyregs]

Well he talks a lot more sense than you!!!! Or should we all just agree with you?

 

Ok then, Which bits do I not talk sense about? Let me know and I'll try to clarify. And we will see who is talking nonsense.

Looks like the boards promotion gamble has backfired!

[Shropshire_Valiant]

Spot on from Doha on pg 1. I hope Bratt, Jackson and co are run out of Stoke-on-Trent for their so called running of the club. Life bans for all 6 if I had my way! In fact they shouldn't be necessary as they will be treated like pariahs if they have the face to turn up once removed!

As Doha has said; Lie after lie after lie, putting a personal vendetta and their own ends ahead of a frankly brilliant offer for the club and letting a respected Stoke fan(who is on committees for Stoke initiatives) not only buy shares but stand up and spout at an AGM!

They should all be had up for crimes against Port Vale!

 

Lets be honest we were all duped by a set of liars, hypocrits and conmen! The current set up of the club/business at Port Vale is nothing short of a nightmare, I honestly wouldn't wish this board on club I hate the most! They are a disgrace to football!
