1800 ish

In amongst several staggering admissions I wondered that too. Ultimately lawyers are expensive and I would be disappointed if my money as a member was being frittered away on legal cases from within. Already been called out above but a few rich guys don't just get to purchase resignations of elected board members. They can buy a proper share in the club and appoint their own directors to do that.

If we've just added a wage when we're asking for donations to a fighting fund, because we're projected to run out of money, then we're asking for that points deduction down the line. Murray must have assembled one of the biggest squads in the league now as well.

If MCT becomes a minority shareholder then a large chunk of contributions should become a capital investment fund rather than cash to be squandered on first team wages IMO.

I imagine it's particularly difficult to agree any kind of communication when three of the directors have attempted a low budget Night of the Long Knives on another three this week. Other directors have resigned in the past over trivial bullshit like this stopping anything getting done.

It'll probably take time for guys with mostly full time jobs to go through a share purchase offer, agree next steps themselves and write up a summary to go out to members. It sounds like the offer was made within the last couple of days so a bit soon to have a go.

What is this utter clown coaching them to do all week? This is pathetic. Is it worth the wage for Murray to keep nuking his own reputation like this?

TTG.

Again there's evidence of discussions happening with MCT members separate from the board. Given the mewling about breach of NDAs, were these members subject to the same NDA to allow them to be party to negotiations and declared as such to the MCT board? If not, they're guilty of most of their accusations.

Looks the person responsible for that email (again all the others are signed by a comms director) has overplayed their hand.

Someone has made the point on a fans group that if the new directors wanted to oust the existing board as their first act, they should have explicitly written this intent in their personal statements before standing for election, and not going about it in the underhanded way that they did.

Agree. Apathy and not taking action won't do. Can't sit and grumble when a one liner email is all you need.

Agree. This kind of grubby, backroom snaking of fellow directors to try to railroad through something the members don't want can't be tolerated. And the person who sent that message round is naïve, at best, if they thought it wouldn't end up public. A terrible look.

Suffering fuck. That's come from a sitting director?

Every other comms email in the last year has been signed by the MCT communications director who sent it. Be good to know which director(s) specifically approved of this one because it reads as an apology for not having voted them through already. I can't believe we're still talking about Estrella, after them briefing members who are not MCT directors behind the scenes and nuking the AGM with their huffy statement by proxy. So for transparency, full ownership of this message needed.
