Confirmed KLD only owns 41%

Agreed. This is what I was arguing with Hep. People think they know business, but they haven't got a clue, and I'm absolutely f***ing certain now we've been had.

You don’t even need to know business mate. An objective mind and a willingness to read publicly available information would have told people that this sort of arrangement was feasible and explained away (plausibly as they’re well rehearsed) with bullshit explanations about control.
 
Wh
Just delete you account man, you have told me I was wrong about the share split.
Where did I say that ? If I did, which I don’t think I did because this is no surprise to me, then I’ll hold my hands up. This is pretty much what was reported at the time.
What I have said is that it’s obvious who’s making the everyday decisions and there’s a clear change of strategy and direction since KLD which I still think is correct and I stand by it. This week has shown that Methven has been involved in more than we’d like. In a way he’s been up front by showing his face weirdly. And I can’t stand the man.
I’m happy to rationally criticise - I think their cleverly worded statement which was sneaky at best to give a different impression. What I think we all need now to know the full picture is to know what the board structure looks like and what power they do have over direction and what the future may look like.
 
If this is the real breakdown, I'm not sure what the outcry is about.

They've said all along KLD is controlling/majority shareholder. If that split is right, then this isn't a lie.
They've always said the other 3 reduced their percentage but still hold some percentage of the club. If that split is right, then this isn't a lie.
Probably going to get pelters but I agree. I can understand the frustration but feels perhaps like an overreaction in conjunction to the recent period we've just had. If this had been released after we beat Sheff Weds 5-0 a couple of months ago and were flying, I don't think it would be a "this is the end of the world" consensus.

I also agree that I wished it would have been over 50%; but if you're SD, you'd hold on until you could make a decent profit on your share which is probably when we eventually get back into the championship.
 
Ah I agree there's a connection definitely. But when you look at the wealth of KLDs family and Sartoris family, then put that together with the Dreyfus family and the Sartori/Rybovolev connection. The mega rich have a massive tendency to stick together. I can't see them hanging around with the likes of Methven and Donald too long before giving them the elbow.
This….is what will happen.
 
It's been an open secret for months.

While their shills on here were saying things in this thread alone


like

"A governance majority is more than 50%, as is the ability to appoint or sack board members. If he didn't own 50%, you're accusing him of an outright lie"

"The phrase controlling interest will only be interpreted one way by a finance professional - holding more than 50%"

"Less than 50% is not a governance majority, nor does it confer the unfettered right to control board membership"

"I interpret governance majority as a minimum of 50%+1. The language is a little odd, but KLD has been brought up in other legal entities. The phrase controlling interest is also used. That also implies majority ownership. Furthermore, more than 50% is needed to appoint and remove directors ."
 
It's almost as if those "spouting conspiracy theories" knew it. We need full disclosure on when Donald and Methven are being fully bought out. Some will say they aren't concerned, but when the "takeover" happened I don't think anyone thought kyril would have just 41% of the club
It read like 51% at that time and I questioned why everyone was getting so excited about this at the time.

This makes it even worse.
