craig 5,199 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 The big deal is they are not to be trusted. At best the stall tactics allow them more time to try to get the investors back on side and at worst it allows them time to potentially do all manner of things which could cost the club a hell of a lot more than £75k. What chance of them getting investors back on board who have stood firmly behind McColl ? McColl says he isn't going way so I don't see investors jumping back in with the current regime unless promised something.... But that can only be done for all investors in interests of fairness. Stockbridge is different but what has Mather done to be branded a crook ? Further, what prevents them from doing these "all manner of things" before the EGM even if the requisition pushed forward ??? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Membership Scheme with Stockbridge looking after the money !!!!!!! How many fans are likely to sign onto a membership scheme before the boardroom turmoil is sorted ? Are any of us that gullible? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,186 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Another defensive step towards McColl - along with an attempt to show just how good guys they all are. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forlanssister 3,060 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 It's an awful lot of puff for what is basically 5 days grace. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stockbridge is different but what has Mather done to be branded a crook ? I didn't say Mather was a crook Craig, but I don't see how his position is tenable when he clearly hasn't been in control like he should have been. Green was supposedly re-employed in this consultancy role under his watch which is something that should never have happened and then he was away down to London with Stockbridge trying to sweet talk Green & co's various initial & IPO investors. As the Club's CEO was Mather doing any of that for the good of the Club or was it all for the good of Green & co + his own self interest and preservation? Some might say they were only down their trying to reassure investors who the Club might need to ask for a second round of funding, but I doubt very much indeed if it was that simple under the current circumstances. Further, what prevents them from doing these "all manner of things" before the EGM even if the requisition pushed forward??? Nothing apart from time and guarantees. Instead of an EGM going ahead on or before September 12th, if the current board manage to stall until a promised AGM at an unspecified date on the basis of a written agreement to put forward McColl & co's resolutions at an AGM, that then doesn't have any time or tangible guarantees does it? Are McColl & co going to accept a promised AGM when then can just go ahead and force a definite and conclusive EGM? I'm actually a little surprised that McColl & co have allowed their stall tactics, but they must know what they're doing, or at least I hope they do. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Perhaps McColl and co don't want the club hemorraging more cash either. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimpy 0 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Correct me if I'm wrong, but an AGM can do more damage than the current resolution on the table can? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTinMan99 0 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Mather trying to act the tough guy, haha. At least Green's big man act was moderately convincing. The irony of them pretending they are trying to save us a few quid. It was infact, the people that requested the EGM that have saved us extra money by agreeing to have two meetings in one. Anyone connected to the old Green/Ahmad regime has to go. That includes mather. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
