Guest Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Can anyone explain the percentage splits here rather than speculate on numbers please?…Remember they only need 75% of the vote not the shareholders to get it through. MSG is 62% plus Paul Healy it is about 70%. Small shareholders 30%I believe at least three have yet to back the plan so that means about 22% of the 2,400,000 shares. They may of course still back it. So if only 50% of the small shareholders vote I favour the “yes” vote would be about 72/73%. Hence the need for the small shareholders to vote if those larger shareholders decide not to back the plan. I think my numbers are near as dam there or thereabouts. I am basing my calculations on just over 2,000,000 of the 2,400,000 votes being cast 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at his track record at Stoke he invested when the club was at a low then sold after two promotions (presumably at a profit) Or in the case of Orlando invested at the birth of the club before selling up leaving them as a major league team, again presumably selling at a profit. If you do a bit of research you’ll find his personal history pre football as far as his business interests go make quite impressive reading as well. If we don’t vote to accept the investment (which is possible if the rumoured split in the MSG is true) it will be a massive missed opportunity for the club IMO. At 26% this would make Rawlins the single biggest shareholder but would still not have a controlling say without having the other big hitters or minor shareholders on board hence minimising any long term risks to the club. I’d encourage any minor shareholders to use they’re vote as It may be needed, looking at the numbers the smaller shareholders are going to make the difference and there is a real risk if (as rumoured) a couple of the MSG vote against then the full thing never gets off the ground. The minor shareholders (the fans) hold about 36% of the shareholding, this is chance to vote together on an occasion where it actually makes a tangible difference. https://www.buzzsprout.com/260570/5937460?s=08 Thanks for that was very informative. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Suffering Bairn Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) I listened to the podcast with the Rawlings', They sound legit and have all the correct motivations. If the vote fails at the AGM we should have a long hard look at ourselves. There is no hope for our club if we turn away someone willing to throw money at us (something as rare as hens teeth), to build the club up so they can eventually make a profit when they sell their part in a more successful club. Who the hell would not welcome that. The board should have mounted a more high profile campaign promoting the Rawlings investment and it's importance to the future of our club. I'm not a shareholder, but if I was I would be voting for their investment for sure.

Not difficult I just think it would be far better to hear all parties at the AGM and then vote on the night instead of voting in advance. Seems incredible that in this day and age that can't be facilitated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence, but that sounds like a Project Fear story. I'm pretty sure ML cut all ties with the club when the rest of the BOD basically forced her out. The thought of her getting involved again - and doing so with AT - seems unlikely. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he’s bang on, I was given those same names along with Neil Rankine straight from a current board member as the people behind the Alan Gow bid. LM DM and PM want to sell they’re shares to this group hence the reason they are voting against the club purchasing the shareholding to be redistributed to Rawlins via the share issue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
