Pricey_1984 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Hilarious people think he is selling. Perhaps those same people will be chuffed with some Venkeys type owners? Could happen just as much as another City owner, grass is not always greener. I suppose it would be something else to moan about, run the new owners out of town because they are not spend spend spending. This... ive been going long enough now to know that our fans have always got something to moan about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnlyOne Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 So you think he is going to take it off the stock market? We haven't been on the stock market for a long time. We are privately owned by Randy Lerner's company AFAIK This 4% thing must be a vanity purchase then. If it was a takeover then they could just buy Randy's 96% without informing anyone then purchase the other 4% whenever. Am I right? The remaining share holders would have to be told about any sale, if he owns 100% he doesnt have to tell anyone. Why else would you be bothered about a remaining 4% stake in the club? Maybe he just wants the 100% so he can increase his ego and say it's fully his where no one can do anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morkery Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Randy has indeed sold to an arab. He had two serious offers. He took the one which provided a full cash deal. The other party was also scared away by the Shemagh that was left on the table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the stockmarket business, according to yourself and a couple of the other lads we havnt been on for ages so i'll take your word for it. The question is, why bother buying up the remaining 4%? It's all just speculation and no-one apart from Randy knows why he has bothered with the outstanding 4%. He already has full control with 96% of the club so doesnt actually need to the remaining 4% for anything, other than if he was going to negotiate a deal with out having to tell anyone any details about said deal. If he's not selling, why bother with the remaining 4%? It changes nothing if your not selling as he already has complete control of the club! :?

How about Venkeys done anything to improve their club long term, unless having a decent training ground is making us shit? Ah thats why Randy has made improvements. He cannot afford anymore improvements now and doesn't like telling fans about it. Out you go mr owner we've had enough of you now, your terrible terrible appalling owner!

TheDrums Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 He would have to legally inform the remaining 4% shareholders that he was selling, regardless of the fact he has full control anyway. By mandatory paying for the remaining shares he no longer has to provide that information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than a sale, why bother with the 4% as it changes nothing regarding his control of the club. If he's not selling, buying the remaining shares is of no benefit whatsoever to Randy Lerner.

You mean a shiny new pub and new training facilities which no fan gives a shit about? He has put the club in serious debt and the squad we have now is no different than Ellis' last year.
