that’s my current interest.

‘Mercator’.

Was going to make a thread on it, but I know so little that I don’t even know what to include in the post!

It just sounds and feels so dodgy. Don’t like knowing our club is in the hands of Mercator.

There’s a bunch of different Mercators out there, from Indian shipping and oil & gas conglomerate to a number number of companies with ‘Mercator holding’ in the name in Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, the US. And those are just the ones which aren’t hidden from sight.

I don't ever recall claiming anything else. I'm very aware of my own mortality, thank you. For what it's worth. I'm as shocked as anyone else, if not more so.

I'm an absolute layman when it comes to this stuff and even I could see something wasn't right after the last RAWA meeting minutes. Couldn't believe you were still so sure back then.

Well they’ve all been snidey *****, haven’t they? Do you trust KLD after this because I’m not sure I do.

I have more trust in KLD, the Louis-Dreyfus family are big hitters, I very much doubt they have let him buy 41% without a shit load of t&cs attached and doubt two no marks in comparison would dupe him. The fact that KLD has been an ever present at both home and away matches and was even at the AOL on deadline day.

Fantastic.
 
Someone who is brighter than me ( so as we are talking percentages that’s 99)
needs to get on the phone to Barnsey tonight and get some tough questions asked -and then hopefully some more at the meeting.
Feel sorry for Alex Neil but no wonder Keano wanted clarity on what was actually going on upstairs!!
Awful to see this great club in such a mess

So far we have
  • Kyril being dishonest about having a controlling stake in the club
  • the owners using the club's own money to fund the purchase
  • the owners forcing out young talent for peanuts
  • The owners immediately taking out loans upon purchase cos they're skint
All things that were floated on here and rubbished as nonsense or conspiracy theories, but turned out to be true :lol:

RAWA should cancel the meeting imo, they do nowt but take the piss out of them anyway.

I was thinking about this but in 2 minds.
Whilst it would show something to the board it would also let them off the hook.

Rattle the clowns with pointed questions, and if they try to take the piss again we absolutely, 100% KNOW who the organ grinders are and can vote with our feet.

That just says he’s better at PR than pinky and perky tbh.

If this is a calculated leak by him to force them out then brilliant, but we’ve heard how he’s good mates with Sartori so I’m not 100% about him at all.

A very good suggestion. I've mentioned to RAWA that if he doesn't attend it's yet another slap in the face of the fans. But aye, now we know the split there's actually very little point in having a meeting unless kld is there. Most of the things the fans will want answers to aren't going to be able to be properly addressed by speakman or Davison. I imagine it'll go ahead but I think I agree with you that it might as well be cancelled if he isn't going to be there

If he’s not going to be there then I’d suggest we tell them to ram it where the sun doesn’t shine. At what I see as a pivotal time for the club and its future, he can’t be arsed showing up and sends a couple of stooges instead then that’s enough of a statement in itself.

Maybe. Unfortunately I think that there's more chance of it doing not much other reducing our revenue and increasing the club's debt tbh.

They will have no choice but to dig deeper if there's a drop off in renewals ,our biggest weapon. I didn't think it could go much lower than it has done but we shall wait and see. I hope KLD wins this battle for control because that is what we are now facing.

I do not believe a family like the Louis Dreyfus and their two legal experts who are also on the board (I think) would be tricked by Methven and Donald. If you think they would be you think the Oxford boys are more clever than I do.

No idea if they were or not and I don't really care either way tbh.
I care that we have been at best misled and at worst outright lied to again.
