Apparently they want PR to agree now to lower his asking price to below 10p a share, if not will have to go to a Shareholders meeting more delay by PR.

i think it's fair request by tg to ask ridsdale to drop the price to below 10 pence a share, ridsdale's share's only cost 9p per share, you can't expect to make money from an almost bankrupt business. greedy b*stard :twisted:

Yes, Peter seemed somewhat irked when I sent him my views on how positively the march would be received by prospective investors;

This myth perpetuated by some that fans protesting against a deceitful, incompetent regime is harmful to the club is astounding and utterly ludicrous. Firstly, would any prospective investors be unduly perturbed to see fans demonstrating against the present incumbents, thus making them more keen to sell and weakening their position of power and bargaining position, not that they have one given our position? Secondly, would propsective investors be so concerned to see that fans have the passion to fight for the very entity they propose investing a huge amount of their money in? Thirdly, wouldn't it be the cold hard facts of our perilous financial position uncovered during due dilligence that is the real contentious issue for them? That is without even touching on the sheer incompetence displayed by Ridsdale and the club as a whole on so many fronts. It seems some, including certain board members, are happy to circulate this myth with the intention to divert blame from themselves or to back up their stance, but the inconvenient truth is the only people who are making us a laughing stock, heaping embarrassment on the club and treating the fans with the most despicable contempt is the current board, headed by Mr Ridsdale.

Oh, please, salad, don't defend the march...

Don't you know this is the view you should have?

"Last week's demonstration, the organiser of which was a writer and publisher of books about football hooliganism, involved hundreds of fans walking to the stadium alongside a police escort whilst chanting various slogans directed against the current board, a couple of which were apparently unsavoury. It also involved supporters carrying a coffin and unfurling banners bearing legends such as 'TRANSPARENCY MY ARSE' and 'HATE THE RIDDLER'.

A coherent joint statement from the club's two biggest supporters' organisations imploring the board and the shareholders to set aside their personal interests and safeguard the club's future is clearly a very different proposition altogether. I'm astonished that you apparently cannot see that."

Given a certain person seems to want to use Annis' writing exploits to point score, is it not telling that same person has errm, written for Annis' books? Just not the hoolie ones. Because that would be proper nawty.

Lol, look, I found the treatment dished out to TLG way too harsh the other night, even though some might say with some justification he deserves it, it doesn't mean I agree with him! In fact, I found his riposte on the other site more amusing than the statement itself.

I don't think TLG had too much harsh criticism. He's lived for years with the carefully crafted internet persona he's developed of, well, jumping on anybody posting. If he receives more than a tenth of what he's given out in the past, I'd be surprised!

There's a reason TLG used Annis' books - or more accurately, some of them - in his post. It's not difficult to work out the rationale.

If 51% of shareholders agree, it shouldn't go to a meeting, should it?

Or would the 51% have to agree AT the meeting.

It should be blindingly obvious to all and sundry that the march showed how passionate we are as fans and how much we love our club, it also showed that anybody that comes in and takes over the running of our club and shows genuine commitment towards it will get the full backing of all the fans.

We are passionate fans, the march showed just how passionate we really are.

I think TG would have made a note of that.

They don`t need a meeting if they get to that 51% mark. It just needs a formal written notice to the other 49( % that it is going to happen and saying what share price has been agreed. The deal can then be concluded , but no sooner than 7 days after the date of the notice and no later than 60 days.

Keith I see that in the financial part of takeovers, that if 29.6% of shares are bought, then whoever buys them can just sit back, but if 29.9% of shares are purchased then legally they have to make a full blown offer for the club. Is this just for clubs listed on the stock market or does it also apply to CCFC, thanks in advance
