Mort Posted 1 January 2007 Posted 1 January 2007 Frankly I think most fans would take 50p for the club with no strings just for a bit of leadership and investment and to be frank its not money most fans want its leadership! and MM can offer that... the current board cannot and no one bar MM is out there ready to offer it, I dont see anyone wanting to buy the club in order to "screw-it-over" and to be frank that kind of talk is just cutting your nose off to spite your face... no one can be totally sure whats going to happen, but it'll be sorted one way or another soonish... all i can hope is that we start the new year with the leadership and support to make it worthwhile being a city fan again and to stop of being the basket case since we nearly went bust, I'm sick and tired of the like of Forrest, Derby et-al dissmissing us as a sad joke!

How can Forest dismiss us as a sad joke? Their no better off than we are and still not certainties for auto promotion,Derby are doing OK in the championship but they hardly have money to burn. Sure 50p would do it with "no strings" but it looks like the MM deal will have more strings than the Royal Symphony Ochestra..I am seriously worried about our future
Mort Posted 1 January 2007 Posted 1 January 2007 i think you're clutching at straws there mate. Not sure how? I think what ever will happen is going to happen in the next week or two... you cant deny that MM has a track record of leadership at Pompey and other sports clubs that bodes well for LCFC and would be a massive improvment upon the current mob in charge, regardless of the nature of any take-over and frankly thats why the prospect of a take-over has been so broadly welcomed by the fan base (with the helpful intervention of the mockery of course ).
Swedging Posted 1 January 2007 Posted 1 January 2007 you cant deny that MM has a track record of leadership at Pompey and other sports clubs that bodes well for LCFC and would be a massive improvment upon the current mob in charge, regardless of the nature of any take-over That would be easy to deny - but there's scarcely any point.
Mort Posted 1 January 2007 Posted 1 January 2007 That would be easy to deny - but there's scarcely any point. I'd be interested to see you make the point that the current leadership at the club is more acomplished and sucessful than that MM has displayed in his previous ventures... simply coz the case cant be made. As i say the reason people want the take-over is not because they think we're going to have "loadz of Money" but becuase we'd like some security and some leadership to stop us being a joke of a club which under our current leadership we are (!) But i say again, why would the club be better off under the current board rather than MM?

Drives Redknapp out, dodges relegation, forced to sell when staring relegation in the face. A sale that he's failed to complete and one, that if he had not made, would (in my opinion, looking at Pompey's accounts) seen Pompey in administration. Nice - leaves the club amidst legal turmoil. Liege - told to clear off after failing to deliver on promises. Non-football ventures: you could look at Naturewell and Cloudwise. Pompey did well under Mandaric with Redknapp - poorly at other times.

You fail to mention how this highly selective account is worse than the morass our current board has dragged us into... as with most of the anti-MM Brigade its case of cutting noses off to spite faces.

We haven't had to trouble m'learned friends. We're not facing administration. Debts are not larger than assets.
morris1234 Posted 1 January 2007 Posted 1 January 2007 its just pissing everyone off now!! standard!! just annoying surely somebody knows whats happening!! takeovers (like i would know ) are obviously big so youre gonna be negotiating all the time but our board are plain just taking the piss and trying to be business men by delaying everything, and 'better late than never' - my arse to that!!just shut it andrew taylor and go have a double cheeseburger................. sorry bout that just wanted to get it out! better now u should see my keybard now like a lot of people i talk shit so what------- shoot me!!
bald reynard Posted 1 January 2007 Posted 1 January 2007 So what's his justification for resigning - is he for or against the deal? Either way it sounds like he's copted out and can't stand the heat - he'll still have to vote. Exactly, Ultra. Is the 'resigning' Board Member p****d off because the Board are ACCEPTING MM's offer, or because they're NOT ?!! That's the only question worth asking in all this.

Head Honcho Posted 1 January 2007 Posted 1 January 2007 After the last two performances he should half his offer
Leicfox Posted 1 January 2007 Posted 1 January 2007 MM has placed his final bid and set a deadline.. Loan deals only real possibility if the bid is accepted. Radio Leicester.
lookwhaticando Posted 1 January 2007 Posted 1 January 2007 After the last two performances he should half his offer 250k?
Chrysalis Posted 1 January 2007 Posted 1 January 2007 Don't be so melodramatic! If Colchester, with no money and no fans, can make a go of it in this league there's absolutely NO reason why we shouldn't do so... Do you think our current plight isnt actually a plight then and a club of our size shouldnt have more financial power? Personally I think our board is doing a bad job, they are incapable of raising funds and lack leadership.
Chrysalis Posted 1 January 2007 Posted 1 January 2007 Until you know more about the reasons for the deal falling through I'd suggest you refrain from apportioning blame. Especially when Mandaric himself hasn't exactly been a stickler for the truth during this entire episode.. If I hear its because the board were split and for this reason no offer was even put to shareholders I wont be best pleased, isnt it their duty to put 'any' offer to the shareholders?
Chrysalis Posted 1 January 2007 Posted 1 January 2007 But it is quite obvious that we need something at this club to make us what we used to be, admited we have never had money and weve done it before, but atm it looks like everyone has given up! and there is not even a penny to spare, we need the mandarich deal desperatly. and about colchester they wont do that well all season! pure begginers luck look at hull they did that last season now look! and Luton and now there stuck mid-table. You only need to look at results to see the current message given from our board. It would appear kelly has been given a target of avoid relegation. Because everytime we fall to around the bottom 3 he starts winning games but once we have above a 6 points margin we go on a bad run again, whilst manderic would likely sack kelly if he was hovering between mid table and the bottom 3 all season.
MONreborn Posted 1 January 2007 Posted 1 January 2007 Did you hear the Birch at half time " It's good news for city fans but i'm not yet allowed to say" Was there another "extranordianary" general meeting? Has the bid been unofically accepted?
lookwhaticando Posted 1 January 2007 Posted 1 January 2007 If I hear its because the board were split and for this reason no offer was even put to shareholders I wont be best pleased, isnt it their duty to put 'any' offer to the shareholders? The board is usually supposed to determine whether an offer is good for the club's shareholders or not. If the board thinks it's a good deal, they put the deal forward to all shareholders and take a vote. So it's not their duty to put 'any' offer to the shareholders. 'Any suitable' offer, however, should be put forward but is not really obligated as such. It's the board's decision really. The board is in place to ensure the company is run to the benefit of the shareholders, and they are supposed to act on their behalf as elected representatives. Shareholders could force the issue somehow, to get the board to reveal details of the bid. That'd take quite some effort, mind.

Problem is their is shareholders on the board who are probably interested in their own futures they get a salary and would likely refuse a part payment for their shares and as such not reccomend a deal to shareholders, that is where I reckon the potential sticking point lies.
