didnt happen. this was brought about democratically from memoury
proposed by Rodey Walker and from memoury seconded by Hinchcliff ? at a Agm then voted upon .As all the shares had equal voting as Ted allways said.
If these shares had been issued along the same lines how many more shares
would have been sold Salford. style
and not this bogus share issue

Them were the days :lol: :lol: trip down memory lane there.
But you do make a good point. I thought Salford did a great job and the amount they raised very impressive for a club no bigger, probably smaller than us.

And good due diligence like is happening now would have stopped that.

Of course it has. The stand doesn't belong to them so they couldn't be charging rent.
Try again.

I thought the stand belonged to Spirit 1873, am I mistaken

Knowbody knows the truth in what is happening so dont get why people pretend to know,i personally got told that it had been finalised and gone through but i guess not.i would also say and i maybe totally wrong i dont know nothing in matters like this but wouldnt deals of a takeover have to be completed before due dilligence starts?

Re: Takeover updates : Tue Aug 01, 2023 8:07 pm  
ii guess that open shares not held on to by the current incombands would have brought in investment.

iwas it. the fear of losing control ?and indeed would i think made any takover easier.
who invests in something that then they have no control of the direction of their investment ?
point i make is different share issue would have diluted current owners.
motive has always got to be club first and this is always seen by actions

So I don't know the details of this one but I've worked in big businesses all my life and takeovers take a long time.

In this case the process is that the two parties agree terms, then do due diligence on each other, then finalise terms then do the transfer of shares etc.

Due diligence includes financial checks, both personal and business, checks on the current state of the club accounts and forecasts, understanding RFL rules and what limitations there are and in our case the building of the stand and the liabilities involved.

It's just going to take a long time.

Plus the fact, Ellis has put some money in to help us survive. Right now, him taking over will not improve it more before the end of the season. They can take their time now.
Minards needs to be in place to run the club while all this is going on so it doesn't just fall over.

and when all the paper work has been finalised ie deal done, they announce it when they want.

There are many done deals regarding players and they haven't been announced yet.
