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.

Bonar wouldn't have the money spent on anything other than the first team, so you can then only look at the managers who spent the money. The people that enabled Dalrada are not there any more. However the club board made a huge mistake this year in allowing the budget to be pinned to Dalrada funds, when they were already behind on payments and their business struggling was known. I'm sure if the wider support, or at least MCT members as club owners, were aware of missed payments we'd have agreed it would be madness to bank on them propping up the budget again this year due to the potential consequences if it went tits up. Now it has and we're asking for money to pay the contracts they were meant to pay. We shouldn't turn out in the home kit again without their name blocked out, it's a kick in the teeth to see their logo on the hoops while we're in this position.

Good look for the parent clubs checking on their loanees to see we had spare subs and Murray left them sitting down. Fuck sake.

Ye have single handedly destroyed the spirit of all true football people at this special time of year.
