Why are we doing it? How will we achieve it? Who is going to ensure we achieve it? As stated previously we know the who but as yet it’s not clear the why (why we went this path) or how we will achieve it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because a group of existing investors decided to sell their shareholding to a man who'd underlined his support for fan ownership. It's really that simple. I don't know what you and others expect to gain from going over old ground again and again and again and again... This is the reality of the situation. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Dastardly Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 I’m not sure that was an option. The previous board didn’t want to continue and were trying to sell their shares. However they couldn’t find anyone to buy them that wanted to run the club themselves, which is exactly why we are where we are 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are dealing in fantasy not credible reality? or are you suggesting an empty vessel company, namely 3 black cats, resist the will and wishes of their recently deceased major shareholder and continue to hold the shares themselves? If that’s more appealing than fan ownership to you, fair enough I suspect you will be in a minority Edited February 8, 2020 by jaf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s more appealing than fan ownership to you, fair enough I suspect you will be in a minority I'd rather someone come in and buy them out. Unlikely that is to happen. I am making it plain as I have previously that I do not want fan ownership. I accept it looks likely. We wait and see what transpires.

The Daily Mail was briefed. A small number of fans were briefed. Get behind it, then. As Ive said - I will make my decision on getting behind when I see what "It" is - and who is Running the Club - so far we have No idea what it will look like - We do know that 3BC will make the Final Decision - So as I've said - Completely Independent Board - No Links to previous Boards - Not Stuffed with TFE / Thistle Trust Placemen /Women - Past Directors - either directly or indirectly pulling strings in the background is something I will accept HOWEVER - I dont believe its sustainable as a Business Model ignoring opinions on the Politics - we simply dont generate enough cash But we have a long way to go - so lets just see who - and what emerges in March ( if anything ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
