Confirmed KLD only owns 41%

Must be buried deep this recovery we have just had an atrocious transfer window and are struggling to make the playoffs in league 1 I don’t think there is much cause for optimism. The leaches are still laughing us sat there waiting for a payout.
 

He’s sitting smiling and laughing with Methven after he called him an asset stripper. I don’t know about you, but that doesn’t scream “things starting to change” for me. Just look at the stage of the pitch.
The asset stripping started under Short.
He just wasn't very good at that either.
KLD didn't define exactly who he meant. As with the 'controlling stake' comment, people chose to read into it what they wanted to.
Just saying.
 
I'm pleased the percentages have been revealed as I think fans should know who owns any club and despite my Friday night Twitter snipes at Chris Witherspoon, I'm pleased his work paid off on that specific point.

But from this precise point onwards I would urge caution from fans and fanzines.

There are grass shoots of recovery under Kyril as Chairman. The last thing this club needs now is to be put into stasis for a potentially long period while the complete set of current owners try to find a new set. This is not a crisis club. We are not heading to administration. Theres been some good recruitment behind the scenes that hasn't even bedded in yet, only this last week the club have installed a very expensive hybrid pitch.

Removing Madrox is one thing I'm sure we ALL agree on. Removing Kyril is quite another in my mind. There is a good argument that things are slowly beginning to change under whatever power he currently has.

So I'd say that the fans, the fanzines and the local media that influence the fanbase need to be very clear on what they are angry about specifically and what they want, as a mass hanging could do more harm than good.
100%. Not enough rationality on here at the minute so beware, but this is right.

Was it short selling off all of our young talent and cutting back on the academy and women’s teams?

I think people lashing out at Kyrill have probably calmed down a little. I was suspicious, and fuming, but as I said last night and this morning, after taking everything in, there were blatant maneuvers to oust certain bad eggs at the club imo. He comes from a very successful business family and will be connected to people at the very top of their fields, personally I’m hoping we all give him a chance to show what is happening going forwards, and pray to any gods that exist that it doesn’t involve the Thomson twins.
 
When you're young different perspective....wonder if Swindonontour has seen this?

Well put mate

Exactly. To give a interview on the clubs own channel and publicly call a fellow shareholder an “asset stripper” is about the worst professional insult you can aim at someone. Then he’s sitting there with him. Let’s be honest here, this isn’t all about Madrox, KLD also needs to go. He’s as bad as Donald and shouldn’t have bought into the club on this basis.

I haven't really got got ossue with KLD and hope he buys the rest of the shares. But he has to turn up tonight and not just ignore them, it would be a disastrous outcome

Yeah, I don't mind him but the asset stripping nonsense was clearly all fake.
 
Fella, yer an absolute bloody buffoon.
So what do you think all this noise over share percentages will achieve? Other than bad feelings.

This ^, but we have a noisy section of fans who just seem to want to get rid of one person after another.

Great post and people need to listen. Things could be a lot worse.. its not like his wealth is being questioned, he isn't the tinder swindler. We all knew them shitbags had shares. He needs our support and backing to get rid of the leeches and nurture the start he has made.. oh and to get his ma to get her purse open anarl ;)

I don’t think he has to be there if I’m honest i think he has to do what’s best for tonight but he does need to show he’s listening with whatever actions she takes afterwards.
The asset stripping stuff was aimed Short at pretty sure. He kept some land and the hotel.
 
Just my opinion, but KLD my not have been as naïve as some think.
It looks like he wanted Keane but others in the ownership group did not hence him letting us know via the "like" on twitter. Also with the announcement of the ownership percentage he will have put pressure on the chuckle brothers. I hope there is a way he can buy them out then we can see the real KLD without restraints and I for one will forgive and back him.

He was requested to be there a while ago and dropped a bombshell about shares last night. It's a dereliction. Of his duty if he can't be arsed to be there, even on zoom.

There is a nagging doubt in my mind and its what Simon Jordan said. Why didn't he buy them out 100% first time as Donald couldnt afford afford keep the club himself. Its going to cost him more to buy them out later on.

Fingers crossed he can sort this out but I'm concerned.

The hotel was never owned by the club. It was developed and is run by a different company owned by Short.

Well I don’t agree. He has advisors for good reason. He’s a 25 year old lad finding his way when all said and done and rightly he’ll surround himself by skilled experienced people who can cover all bases not covered by himself. They are the right people. Do the scouting, answer what they can, have a huddle, do the right thing, respond. That’s all I’d expect from him in this dicy tense situation. They’re there to protect him from error.

I’m sure you told us it was something he’d kept which is why I said it. I know nowt myself like.

No we have fans who don’t want to be misled all the time. The bad feeling has been caused by these owners

He kept it because it was always his personally.
 
What good has come of this? It's just whipped up a whole load of bad feelings.

As I've said all along, what happens once we found out the percentages? Would the sentiment really be that much different if KLD had 51%, would everyone on here say "ah ok, everything's fine"

You're no further forward, there still isn't a billionaire willing to hand over money to run us at a loss. I'd also imagine we're even less attractive to any potential buyers.

So whilst RAWA might think they doing a sterling job, they've achieved nothing of use. I'm sure CM and SD already knew they were not well-liked, to say the least. Now instead of focussing on the game on Saturday with a new manager and what should have been positive, we're now dogged down in the commercial minutiae of the share holders.

Well done!
safc are currently been run at a loss and KLD is handing over money to fund that

He should be there, end of story like. The place is going mental and he's possibly nashed off. The club should be calming the situation and not just ignoring the pertinent questions being answered by the right people.
