I go back and forth although I think I still say Holland most of the time.

Who/where did we play?

July??

Normal service has been resumed

I’m fine with it

I’m sure Grizzly will approve of your reply

I don’t even know who he is.

Sounds like WS rules may need updated to ensure the members have their say on major decisions so that the board have to vote per the majority wishes of the WS members, and not on what they think is best?

Don’t know but a good performance can only help his value

Hope the big man gets on and bags a few goals. cha Ching!

Definitely money wise you are correct but my understanding is that he would bring further financial benefits into the club using his skills and contacts. However, that is a very nebulous statement with no plan proposed or metrics to measure success. Reminds of Trump. I’ll do this or do that but there’s never any plan to actually get it done which of course results in nothing getting done. So I think we are basically taking a gamble (with WS betting the shirt off their back) on EB being able to perform with very little consequences for him if we Lose the bet.

Feely. Sounds like one of the dwarfs who got cut for being naughty. Along with Humpy and Gropey.

Agree with bold print, good point to clarify.

Well let’s hope the WS lay it out nice and simple for the members to review and vote on. Already been summarized in a good manner on several posts and when presented like that it’s really hard to come to the conclusion that it’s a good deal. Especially when you consider there doesn’t appear to be a concise clear plan, with measurable metrics, put forth by EB as to how the club is going to benefit or how he is going to benefit. Pretty much it’s, do this (which seems not good) and I’m in charge.

Since WS have 71% of shares it doesn’t really matter that the other shareholders will be voting, right?

Fair point but either way we are effectively conversing with him albeit perhaps indirectly sorry: posted before seeing BB’s post

So does this offer have to be formally refused before he proposes a revised offer? While I see many references to the WS board members voting, the actual yes/no vote will be from the majority vote of the well society members, right? The WS board will then relay that result to MFC EB, right? It seems that there would be some non negotiable requirements for any revised proposal from EB but who will establish those requirements? Having hundreds of people, voting as one entity and owning 71% of the shares adds some extra complexity to the situation. Fairly straightforward to take a yes/no vote and feed that result back but a bit more complicated to generate a document with requirements. Who’s draws it up and who approves it? WS board members? Another society vote ? In the interests of expediency for both sides I think EB needs to know what non negotiables any acceptable offer must contain (or not contain) the if there are any deal breakers there we are finished and can move on.

You’re not married then?

This lad may come in handy if we have to play any midweek games on a nightingale force winds ok am done!

That’s hard to swallow

I’ve never been on P&B but I may have to go take a look

Probably many different paths revamp the current proposal to an acceptable investment option for both parties above plus revamped WS option Kill the Barmack option and proceed with revamped WS option continue as is while still searching for additional investmen thats just the financial side, not sure where we are or where we are going with regards to WS and MFC boards. my head hurts reading all this stuff and I haven’t even been close to looking on P&B 🥴

I think we need a supporter to win the powerball or megamillions. I’m trying!

Agree, the current proposal doesn’t sound like what we are looking for.

For me it means having a bit more financial security. Perhaps able to hold onto better players for longer. Not having to sell players to survive. As you mention the chances of us getting a real investor to bring in life changing amounts of cash is pretty slim, if at all. However, if we can at least some forward steps with continuous improvement then we can achieve progress slowly. However, as you also mentioned whatever the finances are, we also need the management and players to produce the goods on the park. So while extra cash doesn’t guarantee that, it does give you a better chance of success in being able to attract and hold onto better players, coaches and staff.
