You really had me going there 🤣

Just had the Civica email through to vote, it went into my junk folder just to forewarn anyone that possibly thinks they haven't received it to check! Should come through from takepart@cesvotes.com I've voted to reject the Wild Sheep offer as both a Well Society member and as a shareholder, I'd urge anyone still undecided to look at how heavily weighted towards the incoming party that this 'offer' is. The 2yr buyback option for instance means the Society would be out of pocket to the tune of £1m. The Barmack's would leave with the £600k they would've put in by then?! Giving an incoming chairman casting vote and control of the board from day one on an 8% shareholding wouldn't fly in any other business and it shouldn't do here either!

That's a great statement to make today. Compare it to Wilson who had nothing substantial to say and there's surely only one way for sensible fans to vote. I've already got my Reject vote in.

I decided to vote against it personally after some thought. I like the Societys plan but I do want the club to work on financial security so we’re safe in the event of relegation while actively working to avoid it. I want the well society to start acting like the custodians and have control of the club board as well. They own 70% surely they can appoint a chairman themselves.

I've just received the investment ballot email from Civica on behalf of the Well Society. Vote to reject the offer. It's our Club.

Hope your vote is a bit clearer.

The one paragraph in this puts in a nutshell for me and I must admit I had missed it. Wild sheep outlines investment of almost £4 in 3 years of which the split is £900k from Barmack RESULTING in £3m from WS. Quite clearly if we can generate £3m we do not need Wild Sheep.

Like most of your jokes, we're never sure until you confirm it.

I have to be honest with everyone and say that part of that £600,000 pre and post match entertainment budget involves me being hired by the Barmacks to take over the tannoy duty for matches, was wanting to keep schtum but fans have a right to know what they are voting for, definitely a reason to reject offer!!! 🤪🤪 Ps. And yes.....I am joking

Aye, fair play to him; he's been absolutely outstanding throughout this and so has his old man in the last fortnight or so.

I did a bit of "informing" on FB last night to one of the (many) Colins who seem to be in favour; turns out he doesn't have a vote. 🤔 😅 I kept going, as it felt like getting as much information/explanation out there was a good idea.

Email in and after much deliberation and back and fro (not really), I decided to accept to reject the offer.

Brian McCafferty speaks out. That's him definitely off Jim's Christmas card list.

It's a very american trend. Soccer is a day out. I don't disagree with him. I think the experience can be better. (Obviously the financial package offered is a lot of crap, taking relevant positive ideas to nurture ourselves, all good)

Nah. We'll be laughing on our way to the bank when our #GlobalCommunityClub is a market leader in Tuvalu.

Thanks for the sanctimonious post that has become your trademark but go and tell that to the numerous hangers on ive seen today including very young children holding and waving ulster flags while their alleged parents obviously the worse for drink sing " no surrender " The description of them in a previous post was accurate. The bigotry between the blue and green uglies is Scotlands shame and has no place in modern society.

This for me is where the real risk lies for the club (and us as supporters). Much has been spoken about the pro's and con's of both plans. In a perfect world we could negotiate a deal where the best elements of both plans could be incorporated and a collegiate approach found to the running of the club. However, thats not where we are. The current deal gives all the power and control to Wild Sheep Sports whilst they bear none of the risk. All of the risk falls on the Well Society (ie the supporters). Thats why this is a bad deal. Thats why it needs to be voted down.

Was that directed at me? If so, from everything I’ve shared (and there's been a lot!), that's your takeaway? No concerns about the lack of clarity on penalties for missing those payments (hint: it will happen if this deal goes through. The Well Society simply won't get the support it needs to meet those figures). And sorry, but I'll be as vocal as needed when I believe someone is trying to push a deal that benefits them at the expense of our stadium and potentially puts it at risk. That might not concern you much, but it certainly concerns me.
