stuffed the skates home and away. Deserve to be champions. They never let me down. Come on Donny

They are not involved, just use it because I forget the spelling of eisners name.

They will get 51.2% of the £5.76m, assuming the deal goes through. That's what they put in, assuming they go for the £1000 a share offer and not the £1 now, up to £2000 later option.

Did he explain why he won't permit the PST to retain a share or have any representation on the board?

Did anyone ask him why them?

he suggests Disney will be contractually obliged to come up with the £10m. Interesting that he seems to totally disregard the possibility that none of the current presidents might be interested in investing more, and thus increase their own share. Perhaps that is the case.

Thanks. Couldn't find reference to that in the PST membership information.

I've never quite understood the ridicule of the term `shareholder'. There are restrictions and there is obviously no dividend, but they do own a share of the club and as we are about to possibly find out - they can be sold, all be it on mass, and possibly for a profit. or am I missing something...

Lee's 50 shares equate to 0.88%, so his vote ain't going to make a huge difference. Moth, Kirk and the PST are the ones that matter.

what, you mean instead of crying about not having budgeted for their stadium works and selling to the first offer that comes along, they create a new operating budget that does take the works into account? Now there's an idea.

No reason why the club could not continue, without running up a debt, simply by operating with a below average wage bill. The long and short of it is, in the hope of progression through the leagues it looks like many are willing to give up on fan ownership, no, give up on having any input into the running of the club completely. It's being painted like there is no choice. There is, but it will be a lot easier for fans to decide to chase the dream if it feels like there was no other way out. If Eisener puts in £10m as he has 'indicated', that will cover the stadium safety funds needed and the 'competitive' wages for a few seasons in league 1, but what will cover the wages shortfall in the championship? Would it not be better to attempt to live within you means, build a team and wait for the debt laden championship sides to implode?

That would be JRods agent doing his job - drumming up interest in his client by putting stories of interest into the papers.

Classie. The kind of lightweight midfield mediocrity that a team with a wage bill as big as ours shouldn't have to accept.

the Wanyama/Morgan days of midfield domination seem such a long time ago now. We are desperately in need of some help for Romeu. Davis, Classie, JWP and Hoj just do not enable us to control a game without flooding the midfield and leave us short offensively.

Are POL users mostly shareholders? If so I'm slightly surprised they are willing to give up the fan ownership at the first sign of a stadium repair bill. I thought their was great pride in being different? Is an extra million quid a year to keep **** park safe really too much of a chunk out of the playing budget to swallow?

indicated is such a beautifully vague term. Eisner could actually end up acquiring the club for just £5670. That buy now pay later deal doesn't half feel like one that a chancer would put together. Are The skates sure they are dealing with the actual Eisner here and not some look a like without a pot to **** in?

Yep. Old age creeping in.

So he values them at £5.67m. Wonder how many will go for the money back option now and how many will wait ten years for a payment that might be less, might be more.

So the move to Titchfield is still a possibility, but West of Dibbets corner is safe.

If really haven't made my mind up about Puel, but I do ask myself, with the players available to him, would another manager have done any better or any worse?

was that with Wanyana and VVD (and dare I say it Pele helping out at set pieces) in the side? There is more to defending than just having decent centre halves. For example, we give the ball away too cheaply, which invites pressure, which eventually tells. Without the likes of Pele, Wanyama and VVD we also have become a small side which also does have an effect, especially at set pieces. That said I am not 100% convinced by Stephens. He looks very comfortable on the ball and has the pace, but I'd like to see a little more physicality and dominance. No idea what Caceres is like, so not going to join the get him in the side bandwagon. The time Stephens is getting now could pay dividends next season though.

they acquired 16 Anson Road on a long lease recently, would that be it?

If Disney falls through, I wonder if they will go cap in hand to the council again for a loan?

The PST has 2426 shareholders, who collectively own 48.48%. If Mr Disney's offer was just to pay all the PFC shareholders back (including the Presidents) what they paid for the club it would cost him £5,004,125. However, I suspect the shareholders would expect to receive more than they invested.
