So for a "buy-out" would they have to buy out the Weatherill's for full control Mrs B?



If thats the case then the "Hetherington out" mob will be wasting thier voices.

For a controlling share they'd need more than 50% in any combination I guess. I've absolutely no idea how the arrangement between these 5 was put together though or how committed the shareholders are or whether any/all of them would be looking to sell. The valuation of the business now though will be increased as we more or less have have got out of a net liabilities position (ie the value of our assets = the value of our liabilities, taking out the controversial player valuations), plus the club has demonstrated the ongoing profitability potential of the business by making 5 consecutive years of profit. As sporting investments of this size go, I'd guess ours is relatively low risk, but haven't heard for some time of anyone interested in buying.

Are we having a collection?

More than 50% gives you a controlling interest but not control.



Anyone who holds more than 25% of the shares in a company can block a "special resolution" which is where a 75% majority is needed to implement certain changes.



For example, anyone coming in and buying both the Weatherill's shares and Kath's would still only have 70%.



Anyone buying all the shares except Kath's would have a minority shareholder who could block more than a few of their plans if she was minded to do so.



Do we want a board where no-one has total control as now or do we want a major shareholder who effectively owns the club and can do what he likes? This might be someone like Leneghan or the guy at Wire (whose name escapes me) but equally it could be another David Llloyd.

always the same faces erm usernames tho isnt it, its like running a kennel for mongrels trying to talk sense to some on here..

in any walk of life there is always the mob that follows the piper because they are too illiterate to think for themselves

Oh dear! I'm afraid being literate or not does not affect your ability to think, just your ability to read and write. I'm not in the habit of following the grammar/spelling police, but you are one of the less literate posters on here. Does this affect your ability to think?

And there are those who are so blind to the blazingly obvious

No, it doesn't. The fact that he's mildly retarded takes care of that.

no just posting in between of working so do it quickly and cant be bothered or see you as important enough to spell check , but hey thanks for jumping in and protecting your girl !!

No worries
