It can't cost £7K for the broadcast element, everything else was done anyway. They didn't have the bells and whistles NickD talked about but that is just fine, as long as I knew who was talking, the vision part was mostly unnecessary. Yes a time limit seems excessive but only if the extra time gets more questions answered, not more time for the first few to tell their life stories before getting round to the question. I guess at least nobody mentioned their dog.

And, just to add, if you are in that line of business, it makes sense to form relationships with people who you expect to have the expertise in the underlying business so as to act as stewards for that, i.e. Ryan and Oliver alongside the corporate finance / governance brains of Hugh and Stuart.

Cheyne Capital are asset managers in alternative investments - of which football is an example. Nothing strange in them seeking out opportunities such as this and then bringing them to potential investors. As SB has indicated, they originally thought four but then, for whatever reason, it was decided that a sole investor was the better opportunity.

NickD - I may be misremembering but in the meeting the other night did not the others indicate they were prepared to invest but Mir wanted to be the sole investor?

At least the doubts about whether Mir existed and why he had never been seen have been put to bed.

I’m glad we can change our vote up to the deadline - not saying I want to change mine, that’s very unlikely at the moment, but I wouldn’t be quite as sure as some seem to be that this will simply pass through with flying colours…

The whole thing is strange, Wu. Not sure what anyone heard at that second meeting that reassures them about anything - most of the time it was nebulous and vague, with numerous platitudes about 'the story'. I still don't know why these four have come together with no money, looked to get into football and THEN gone and found someone with money to help them. Maybe it's just me but that seems an odd way to go about things, especially as they all seem to have enough experience and competence in their fields.

Having watched the video of Thursday, I agree that some people spoke for longer than they needed to. On the other hand, I don't really accept people getting told to stop because they were making statements rather than asking questions. It's important to have a forum where members can pass on their views to other members without it having to be in the form of a question.

The whole “Britishness” thing is quite strange. Perhaps ties in with buying a baronial title.

Lovely to hear Mir has already visited Plough Lane. Wonder if there are any photos or videos of him at our precious ground?

6MDM, six hours without a piss is definitely the more impressive achievement.

I don’t believe any sane business person sees football as a lucrative investment. There is something very strange about this deal. On the face of it I am certain it is the best deal on offer by far, but I would be amazed if it pans out as favourably as it first appears.

Good meeting, felt very reassured after watching.While I agree with Aideen on the time allocation I will say that a few of the guys asking questions seriously loved the sound of their own voice, when time is limited you don’t need a 10 minute monologue to ask “why are you here?” Look at Eric, asked great questions really quickly, (although they didn’t answer his one on poaching youth, which was frustrating as this is one of my big issues with the strategy too!)

Agree about Hugh Rosen. He is very impressive, speaks very well and definitely knows what to say. Aideen, maybe he can be club chair one day?

Finished watching. Thought Bertrand finished strongly answering Lees question. Maybe he’s warming up to public speaking now!

We've yet to hear from the 5th bloke who is due to turn up at the EGM. Investment guy and I can't remember his name.

Rosen impresses me but he won't be on the PLC as far as I can tell. Disappointing.

They streamed the first meeting live so cost wasn’t an issue then. They wanted to have full control of what was transmitted in this second meeting, which they couldn't with a live transmission. I'm not really interested either way. I'm more interested in what has been written, which still fails to explain how we will have 50.1% control and, without spin, what percentage ownership will we have. If only one class of shares is issued in HoldCo then SSC will own 90% and the DT less than 10% because of the minority shareholders also getting shares (although it doesn't spell out how many and in what proportions). If you own 5,000 shares in AFCW PLC will they be swapped for 5,000 in HoldCo? Shareholders are being diluted to oblivion yet nobody has asked them if they object to this. Reserved matters are not control. They are rights of veto, so you can't control the stadium with a right of veto. HoldCo will own TWIOF, which owns the stadium.

3rd thing, massive shame what Rosen won’t be club chair . Hes bloody good.

£7k is nothing . They didn’t blink an eye giving memberships away.

It wasn't live streamed because of the cost believed to be in the region of £7000.00. I can and did wait until the recording was released this afternoon. As for speeding things up, certain folk took an absolute age to get to the point. Keep it simple folks.

Watching the meeting. 2 things grab me immediately.. there is no format based reason why this could not be streamed live. Also it’ majorly pisses me off when we are told “we only have an hour or so”. Ffs this is been held in our home (for now) and ppl have made A huge effort to be there cos they care and are worried. This is huge. Dont tell us to hurry up.

6mdm, my son's flight from Edinburgh to Gatwick flew over about an hour ago.

I hope anyone travelling up to Greater Manchester tomorrow morning has a better journey than I did today. I really need to think about travelling on Fridays to away games as it is becoming oppressive. It took me SIX hours of solid driving without stopping for a break to get to Cheadle. I didn't realise how close I would be to Manchester Airport. It is literally a couple of miles away and I'm right under the flight path. Ear plugs will be needed tonight. I don't know what was more impressive- going that long without food or a piss.

I don’t think we’re gonna be as loaded as £86m sounds at first. It’s spread over 5 years, over 2 teams though you’d expect things to be heavily weighted towards the men’s team based on the Championship aim, and spread across on and off pitch expenditure.
