Mounts Kipper Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Funny how the sale of Euxton is for 2.2 million, that was the original HRMC Bill. Something tells me the smoke and mirrors from Edwin goes on. Quote

Rembrandt Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 ST won't be running the football club unless they can find the finance to buy it. And that's only likely if the club drops another division or two. Even then, the major investors would expect to be making the major decisions. My understanding is the ST are mainly being set up to push for fan representation on the Board. Quote

I agree best they should be trying for at the moment is some sort of voice on the board and then take it from there. Disaapointing nothing yet set up no bank account Etc, might not be their fault but they should be updating fans on this in the near future methinks. Quote
birch-chorley Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) im quite sure that the ST would have had a seat at the table had they had the investment required to do a deal They have suggested that they have Surely it would be time to name the wealthy backers behind them if so? I'm in team tamraz as it stands Edited February 17, 2016 by birch-chorley Quote
stevieb Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 I'm not liking the tone of voice used in the ST communications. It's too corporate and legal. Tell it us like you'd tell it us face to face. It's probably contributing to the mentalists discrediting the steering group too. Just my two penneths. They could have that if they had an account to put it in. Quote
Cheese Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Completely agree with Mounts. The ST seems to have mutated at incredible speed into a takeover attempt, which has completely fucked any credibility they could have had. Think they got a bit carried away after that public meeting, egged on by the Portsmouth representatives. Quote
bolton va va Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 I'd be happy with Tamraz.....I'd give Holdsworth's spivs or any other new owners every chance, .....anything but the ST / LOV. Quote
Rembrandt Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Vote Tamraz and hold on tight If it's him, it might be a white-knuckle ride. Quote
SatanGreavsie Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 If it's him, it might be a white-knuckle ride. Aye, but when has it ever been thus? Quote
DomRepWanderer Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Word on twatter is Tamiraz has been given preferred bidder status. Quote
bolty58 Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Don't know about you but, after reading this thread each day I'm getting that butterflies in the stomach feeling we get before a big game. A huge moment in our proud history. Quote
Take Hunt Off Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Personally I have nothing against the trust & find some of the criticism on here a bit sectarian. They probably are guilty of running before they can walk but you can't assume they have bad intentions maybe they felt time was of the essence & couldn't go through the full process . That's not to say they are my preference cos they are not although none of us have sufficient information to be confident about the other parties. I'm hoping the Egyptian with the billions is the real deal but fear we might actually need the ST in the future. Quote
Cheese Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Word on twatter is Tamiraz has been given preferred bidder status. From who? Quote
DomRepWanderer Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 From who? Had a text about hour ago, apparently Nixon has said it on there, don't use it so can't validate. Quote

1987wanderer Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 In regards to the ST. Is it only me who thinks they are a set of knobs? Rant on at a meeting about not being involved, get everyone to agree, sign up and then take it upon themselves to enter the bidding war? Maybe I'm being naive but I'm pretty sure the initial setup was get a voice within the club first? Quote

Ani Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 I think the people involved in the ST very much have the right intentions, but what they have shown is that they are a million miles off being good enough to run a multi million pound business. It ain't surprising given they have just been set up, and all have day jobs but the club needs a solution now, the ST promised a lot but in reality do not seem to have followed up. Why boast about 6000 members but do not communicate with them ? Setting up a bank account for legal entity that actually does not exist must be pretty near impossible to be fair, but why talk about doing things and then complain when you can not deliver ? Cryptic messages from LOV about investors then articles slagging off players is not the way to go about showing you can run a football club. I have nothing against anyone involved but as a lesson in building people's hopes and then not delivering the ST have unfortunately written a whole new chapter. I get it might sound parochial but if anyone can point out where these comments are unfair be happy to discuss. Quote

Still a worry we may need a viable ST at the end of the day . Quote
