Elstone refusing to allow shareholders who are also Blue Union members into meetings

[Ihaters]

Can,t you see we have moved past the BU meeings. We are in a place now that has no referance to that time.

Yeah but the conversation moved to talking about NDA's and that was about 5 years ago and every few months since, so my post is far more recent than these other ones

Regarding the confidentiality agreements. Surely this would not stop prospective buyers publically announcing interest or past interest. I haven't seen any.

He's chairman of the BU, the BU were set up purposely to oppose the board, they used a meeting to do as much damage to the credibility of the chairman as possible (easy task because he's a tw@), the board now don't want him at their meetings. Still don't see why anyone would expect a different response.

It's a phoney argument. Kenwright was telling them to write things down knowing full well the meeting was to be reported.

It's smoke and mirrors.

no mate, it,s just you hoping to muddy the waters with BU waffle.

The NDA,s go back a lot longer than that but the focus is on the club valuation.

But nobody has even came out and said they are interested. Not one billionaire or group.

Liten, here's another one for you. If Kenwright & his mates decided to do what Sir Jack Haywood did a few years back & offer the club for sale at £10, on the proviso that the buyer put a minimum of £30M into the club. Do you think that there'd be a lot of interested parties? & that the club would be gone within a short time span?

Yes or No?

Have you seen any of the NDA,s that Bill put out?

 

[sheeds]

I keep saying it but those that back kenwright say ''Nobody has bid'' ignoring the fact the the bloke himself says they've signed NDA's and had interested parties , parties whose interest has come to nothing . Personally I don't believe you have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure out the stumbling block

People say stories would get out despite NDA's they to look at 'Jain' front page of the echo and plenty more besides and when they go why do people think (at least some of them ) do ?

 

[Jacko93]

So there is no actual evidence to say we are, is there?

The club have even got all uppity because someone has had the audacity to maybe name a price at which is suggests it may be for sale at. Now, I sell stuff for a living, and when I sell stuff people like to know what price it is available at.

I don't keep it a close guarded secret.

Can you suggest any logic in not putting an actual price on something?

Are you seriously suggesting the club is not up for sale? You cant just dismiss evidence that says it is, and say it isn't. It is exactly this kind of thinking that caused the club to stop the AGM's. People were asking questions then metaphorically sticking their fingers in their ears while it was answered, then asking again. You cant just keep on asking until the answer suits you. the meeting were being 'hijacked' by the same questions, questions which were answered on numerous occasions, but the questioner refused to accept.

There seems to be a thought on here, and in other places that the business of selling a football club is done on radio and TV. The right people will be being approached and being sold the idea of buying a football club. The people who need to know the price of our football club will no doubt know the price that is expected of them. they will also know the price they would be willing to pay. If these dont match, there will be negotiation.

I personally would rather we were attracting buyers that can afford £125m but negotiate to £100m, over buyers who come in and buy at a flat £50m, cause at that price they could afford it.

That would break the agreement, if they done that. The agreement is in place to protect both parties.

Not that it does not happen, but its very rare for someone to come out in the open and say " I want to buy that " because it could alert a potential rival into action.

It's not the boards meeting though is it? it's the small shareholders meeting. People who are also equity holders in EFC, the fact that one of them has previous in terms of his relationship with the club heirachy, shouldn't be relevant to the small shareholders wanting him as part of their number. If he turned up & was abusive or derailed the meeting etc, then Elstone would have every right to moan, but he's just dodging the man because he knows he'll get a hard time in terms of the depth of questions asked.

Irrelevant, he was a key man in a group set up to publicly slate the board, why would they let him anywhere near another meeting with them?

The last few who support the board want to steer the thread into a different direction - seen it all before.

The club is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

Anyone who's willing to pay £100 million upwards for a club in our position should be sectioned. As should the people demanding that price.

.... So they can be made an offer? It's clever tactics. You make me an offer and I'll counteract.

OK, I will give you a pound if you stop being so stupid

 

[sheeds]

I can actually understand the mindset of people (maybe those in business ) who feel the BU miscalculated with the reporting of the meeting , I don't agree but I see where they're coming from . For me the bit that puzzles me is the cherry picking of bits bill says here or elstone says here and ignoring of a whole raft of other quotes , it's seems head in the sand or like 'comical Ali'

Honestly I thought you were joking. Didn't realise there was a time limit to when you can respond to a conversation you were having.
Me and footlong were having a conversation regarding the thread topic, if that in some way posses an issue for you I suggest you put me on ignore or something.
