I E-Mailed the Society to confirm things and was advised that if the turnout threshold of 35% was not reached, then there will be no change. No change means the proposal from Barmack is rejected.

Please don't expect me to say yes to a proposal that will reduce our substantial shareholding of 71% to 50.1% ( changed only because we didn't accept their first offering), while also us putting nearly as much money into the offer as Wild Sheep and giving them from day one, chairmanship of the board and another two directors for a paltry £300k. Then after six years a small change of hands of shares, could reduce our shareholding below the 50.1% and everything would be effectively run by Wild Sheep. My vote is in.

Add another one to the reject list folk’s

What's this based on? Cos I think the issue is he doesn't have that much. I am sure he said as much somewhere.

This is what really annoys me about McMahons statement yesterday. He is asking the WS to show that any investment they have lined up stays in the club. Yet under the proposal he is trying to push through, we will spend £4m in the first 3 years for a £900k investment. Im no bussinessman, but that looks like £3.1m going out of the club with no guarantee it will generate any extra revenue to justify the expense.

https://x.com/MotherwellWorld/status/1810343964286861434 Kettlewell is obviously saying the right thing by staying out of the debate about investment and fan ownership but i've got to admit if I got a notification for a 35 minute Youtube video where he gives his take on the full saga i'd be getting the beers and popcorn out and sitting down to watch.

I think Alan Burrows was maybe taking up a lot of the slack. Maybe a coincidence or maybe he should have been delegating more to department heads or whatever, but it does seem things spiralled out of control after he left.

Welcome to the club; your membership badge is on the door and we'll teach you the handshake when you're in the back.

Less qualified than the current chairman and other board members given the amateur hour performance from them in recent weeks, that's a bold statement.

The other thing that struck me was that if the £4m outlined to be spent by Barmack is used to buy services owned by companies he either owns or has associations with, then he stands to make a healthy return on his £900k regardless if whether it generates revenue for the club or not.

Just to add to the lols, Jim's statement still has a reference to the Barmarks in it, after being changed everywhere else. 🤣

I do hope all those with a vote are clear that this vote is about Wild sheep offer. We want to reject this offer. We are still able to consider any future investments that may be proposed. This one should definitely be an overwhelming rejection but we should keep our mind open and carefully consider any future offers on a case by case basis, after all, we want what is best for MFC to help sustain its future. PS. There is no truth in the rumor that Wild Sheep is an online dating service for Aberdeen supporters…..or is there?
