trousers Posted 5 December, 2014 Share Posted 5 December, 2014 (edited) http://pompeytrust.com/news/agm-2014-agenda- Meeting is on Monday. PST AGM Motion 1: Motion by shareholders that are in the Portsmouth Football Club Anorak Brigade (PFCAB) [That] the PFCAB is concerned that the Pompey Supporters' Trust shareholding has fallen to approximately 48% from an overall majority at the outset of taking control of the club. While we understand that this does not necessarily have a material impact at the present time, we are concerned about the trend. We call on the Pompey Supporters' Trust Board to investigate options to; (a) return the Trust to a minimum 51% shareholding and to put in structures to ensure that this remains in place permanently, And, (b) put in place safeguards and/or governance structures that ensure that no decisions can be taken on outside investment or other major governance issues without the approval of the Pompey Supporters' Trust Board through its Shareholders. PFCAB members who are shareholders would be pleased to serve on any committee that was setup to look at this motion PST AGM Motion 2: This Society notes that a highly successful share issue enabled Portsmouth Supporters' Trust (PST), with other investors, to acquire ownership of our football club. We note that at the time of our 2013 AGM, PST owned a shareholding of over 59% in our club. However, previous owners left a legacy of urgent tasks which required funding and that the funding of these tasks has resulted in PST’s shareholding being diluted; As the further development of our club will require significant funds, this AGM instructs the PST Board; (a) to prepare a report for next year’s AGM outlining options to fund future capital projects and what benefits there would be to PST of seeking to re-secure a majority shareholding. How many more times do they have to be told that they're not "shareholders"? They made a donation to the club. Nothing more, nothing less.

trousers Posted 5 December, 2014 Share Posted 5 December, 2014 http://pompeytrust.com/news/agm-2014-agenda- Meeting is on Monday. PST AGM Motion 3: This society is deeply concerned that Portsmouth Community Football Club has failed to give any information to Pompey Supporters’ Trust regarding the continued absence of Portsmouth forward player, David Connolly. In 2013, the manager at that time, Guy Whittingham signed the former international player on a two year playing contract and David Connolly was also assisting the coaching team in 2013. (a) as a shareholder and a member of Pompey Supporters’ Trust, I call upon the Portsmouth Community Football Club board to give a written explanation of the reason for David Connolly’s lengthy absence while still receiving his wages. And, (b) I call upon Portsmouth Community Football Club Board to provide greater transparency in matters concerning our club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyboy Posted 5 December, 2014 Share Posted 5 December, 2014 At least they admit that they are not fan-owned, in fact, not even half fan-owned. And they are looking for significant outside investment, while increasing their own percentage. Good luck with that. I think the only way they can do that is to go to a loan shark. Again.

This is the Supporter's Trust AGM not the football club AGM. As those of us that follow this thread know, the football club is a completely separate entity from the supporter's trust. I think they are shareholders in the trust, and the trust is a minority shareholder in the football club. That doesn't make them shareholders in the football club though. They won't be entitled to attend the Football Club AGM if they ever get round to having one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a serious question for any visitors from the east, please, tell us why any ordinary fans believe that they really have shares, influence or ownership? Go on, seriously, explain....please! They donated cash to assist property developers to save their club - nice, worthy, well done. They then put inexperienced people in charge, who predictably, made poor appointments.

Weston Super Saint Posted 7 December, 2014 Share Posted 7 December, 2014 That is beautifully scathing. It certainly is! I love the skate comments underneath as well, the majority 'backing the board'. Apparently they are loving the open and honest, transparent relationship that now exists! Did they ever get round to filing any annual accounts or have they just made an announcement that they will make an announcement at some future date, knowing that the thick skates will forget what the announcement was supposed to be about! How is the forensic investigation of the old - or is it old, old? - club getting on? It must be finished by now surely? Has it been published? Will it ever be published? I also love that one of the skates has genuinely compared them to being as transparent as a bathroom window, which apparently was a compliment!

FloridaMarlin Posted 7 December, 2014 Share Posted 7 December, 2014 To be honest, I think Walsh comes across as something of a dinosaur. It's the Redknapp old pro's mentality that only those who have played professionally know anything about football and wealthy people should just give their money willingly to football clubs and ask no questions. No doubt there is an element of truth in some of what he says, but as long as it continues the internecine warfare, who cares. Incidentally, Walsh is described in The News as "The p****y Hall of Famer." Where is this Hall of Fame? Is it housed in a grand, impressive building with a Palladian facade and bedecked with statuary and portraits of heroes? Or is it a few newspaper clippings hung in a toilet? It's just that when you talk of a Hall of Famer, the assumption is there is an actual hall of fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also is the 'Sondinlo' thing funny in a way I'm not getting? Seems like the penny is starting to drop (insert own Splash! joke here) regarding the amateurishness of their set-up.

rallyboy Posted 8 December, 2014 Share Posted 8 December, 2014 For those asking about the Hall of Fame, I have witnessed it, with my own eyes.... It's basically a wall of Poundland frames with pictures of old players in them, randomly hung slightly skew whiff for added drama - and each legend is accompanied by a shiny plaque fashioned from the finest perspex. This gallery that oozes quality is in the same shrine that holds the great un-ironed tablecloth, while the aroma of fat hangs heavy in the air.
