The very fans who helped build this club will be the ones who are behind its demise. Too many egoes looking at themselves and their own interests, and not looking after the club. As custodians of the club, it's our job to make sure it's in the best possible shape moving forward for future generations. This isn't it.

You know what I mean.

I agree somewhat Nick but I can’t allow these people to sit back and enjoy their skullduggery to go unchallenged.

Nick, I’m beginning to think you’re right

Maybe the answer is just to give up and enjoy the football for now and just wait for the inevitable administration to sweep all the rest of it away - fighting the existing structural mess is arguably just too much wasted effort

Really, how over the years have we got to this unhappy state of affairs.So many hurdles to jump to getting any decision passed. All to keep the clique in control, Hopefully a new board may change this quagmire we are now stuck in. You cannot run a professionial football club with amatuers at the helm.

Arrogant idiots. And they certainly won't follow Mark's suggestion. It's far too sensible.

Hash, its more a case of no confidence in this DTB to deliver the proposals, post Members SGM fiasco and proxy-gate. Failure to read the room that day, was, in my view, the catalyst to the lack of trust in the DTB, and the chair in particular.

May I congratulate the DTB and PLC on navigating a wonderful and engaging vote through difficult waters that, if not approached with expertise, could have left us at risk of being constrained by a needless Super Restricted Action and with no obvious way of finding the much needed funds to pay our debts let alone run a football club.

Holding the club back. Sad day for the club this.

Mark Davis makes a good point on PB in the ATB section. He rightly suggests that there is no obligation to follow on the next stage of SRA even if it has passed. His comments on this should be a New DTB to discuss is spot on. To carry on with manifesto's launched and voting in train for the DTB elections, in my view is poisoning the well. This current DTB should not be hamstringing the next DTB with a legacy vote, not of the new incumbents choosing.

Bushmonkey it is actually the opposite. The minority are stopping what the majority want so definitely right to get some feedback, strengthen / tighten up whatever needs to be tightened / strengthened and come back in 6-12 months, maybe in the summer.

WOW!!!! I have no idea why the RA to make it even more difficult to get anything passed of significance has passed so convincingly. Democracy is what we strive for and members having thier say.

I suspect there’s an element of the fan base that may vote yes to selling equity, but only once super RAs are in place.

Russ - Angus has good experience in that very field.

Well, firstly, the majority voted in favour, just not by enough. And secondly a new board should be able to bring forward whatever they like. But I agree with you, the tone and overall package needs to be different.

Why should 50.01% get another vote? You can't just keep voting until the minority get what they want.

It would be pretty undemocratic for the board to block a resolution that has somehow reached 87% approval (for those that voted).

I mean wow that's the biggest ever cock up going so selling down fails and enshrining club passes...clearly the ST holders who have no interest in club have not helped this as I don't no 1 single person who agreed with Res 1 I thought Res 2 would be close and think had the DT not kept giving updates on threshold it may have passed as I know many who voted late on once knew the threshold had passed...look at this how you want but for me the current DTB and especially the Chair should all step down with immediate effect

Bowing out...

The board aren't, I think, obliged to proceed to the second stage of the super RA vote. I hope they see the light and 'pause' the second stage (as a graceful way of blowing out) while the new board considers next steps on 50.01%.

And let's be clear - due to the numbers voting, the Super RAs must have been voted for at least in part by new ST holder members. I have seen literally noone in favour of these in the usual places. This is the risk of people who are unengaged making decisions. That's on the board as well, with their ridiculous membership by default scheme.

Teddy just got put in a choke-hold.

The board have absolutely fucked this.

The approval of the Super RA is ridiculous and the fact thatn it was proposed and people voted for it sort of shows that having unqualified fans making decisions on the running of a business/ investment is a recipe for disaster. That said, it will probably have no real practical impact, as if we ever come to that sort of decision it will be in a situation of administration, when all of the shareholders (including the DT) will have effectively lost any power any way. Given the running of the club and our rate of cash outflow, that may not be too many years away.
