Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Still does. IMO the threads on RM are dominated by a vocal minority. What you read doesn't reflect the true consensus. I think there's one or two obvious plants on there that seem to dictate a lot of what is said. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
True_Ger_1872 2 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I think that in addition to the fans - he needs to try and engage with Institutional Investors and i would be keen to see him try and talk with Laxey most of all. with my limited knowledge of his plans and how this might work, i cannot help but think if this plan was to pick up speed then we would be looking at starving the club of ST monies at a time when the Easdale / Laxey money would have been spent by then. Would the board dig in deeper and perhaps try and facilitate further loans to keep the club going? If that be the case then if an Admin 2 scenario occurs - then we may have a hedge fund as the creditor in that case with securities over assets such as Albion / Auchehowie - then that could very well be a disastrous time! So i would think its very much in his interests to try and engage with these chaps. I think the plan may very well be do-able, however it is not without elements of risk! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluedell 5,472 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I think his only contact with institutional investors should be to set out our demands. That's a short-sighted view. We don't want to be a club that screws the investors or else we will end up not being able to raise any cash in the future. We need to work with them and get them on-side with a way to take the club forward that suits both the "customers" and the investors. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While true, the investors have had their say and we know what they want. Unfortunately they need us so simply imposing their will on us needn't work if we are United. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
