No, lets just let things work out as they should do. Next, people will be suggesting a march or something.

Maybe a protest not to purchase any new shirts, booze at the bars and so on...?

I know people will say that this action will hurt the club but it will also hurt the directors of that business if the business is taking less income.


Well as TG and VT only own about 30% odd shares the bulk will be on the the Circus (pmg etc) it would harm them more than TG and VT I supose then I could be wrong :roll:

I don`t think Vincent Tan would be overimpressed by efforts to squeeze out his son from the board do you?

The club is deserately in need of all the cash it can get and it can only damage it to go along with your proposal.

How will it hurt the directors personally if the business is taking less money? They will still get paid their salaries and still get the loan repayments they are contractually entitled to.You have lost me with your logic here? Can you explain?

Sit there do nothing and watch the club drop down the divisions like a lead balloon..?

Maybe my logic on here isn't the best but we must do something before it gets any worse.



Only the shareholders can appoint or remove a director at the end of the day (the directors can vote off a fellow member of the board but the shareholders could overturn the decision).

So it is up to the major shareholders to sort out any infighting between board members , most of whom they appointed.I am sure they are well aware of the damage to their investment any public disclosure of such disagreements could do.

I also don`t think its as straight forward as in-fighting between "good and evil" either. Depends on whose point of you you choose to listen to I suppose , but I suspect neither side is entirely "good" or entirely "evil" - that`s far too simplistic.There are bound to be faults on both sides.
