Technically speaking, he's MISQUOTED you, by not including your "colourful metaphors", as Mr Spock once described them.

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.

It is indeed a great statement, and very well-timed.

Wilson has shown himself to be a compliant yes-man who’s never had to deal with the consequences of his actions in business. Add to that, McMahon must send excellent birthday cards.

Further to my earlier post I would like to add £3m ie £1m per year is around 5 times the current financial support WS receives so its plan to increase income would still be needed even with Barmack on board.

Pity, I felt that's the bit that really helped hammer the message home.

The response on Twitter to the outgoing chairman's statement is quite something.

I've obviously been keeping an eye on this for a while and on Twitter I've been noticing an increase in the number of fans favouring reject over the last week or so. And the flip side is no increase at all in accept as far as I can tell. Facebook might be different but I stay well clear of that.

Gavin McCafferty's post pointing out the inaccuracies in the Barmack plan seems to have been the tipping point for a good few on the fence.

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.

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

Should we start taking bets on McMahon, Dickie, and Feely’s resignation/removal dates now?

On the other hand, kudos to those who've stuck their heads above the parapet recently, both on social media and in the press. 

[Busta Nut]

Feeley won't go anywhere. He's a stubborn wee man.

The Society has done a good job today with their PR. The message from Bryan Jackson was a nice touch.

Got my voting pack in.

Another for the REJECT pile.

The 2 guys I sit with are reject also.

Great statement from Brian McCafferty. Great timing also.

Hopefully we can win this by a resounding margin and move on stronger.

A decent summary from Nick McPheat, outlining the absurdity of the past few weeks and today.

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?

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.
