ricardo 7,395 Posted November 30, 2017 [quote user=" Badger"]Is he (LDC) in the minority Lincoln?Ricardo reports that there was plenty of applause from those present last night.[/quote]In my opinion a surprising amount of it considering the present position of the club. The small amount of dissent seemed to be confined to the far end of the room and I couldn''t really gauge the numbers. After the applause they must have realised they were wasting their time. We are still a long way from any sort of shareholders rebellion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Highland Canary 76 Posted November 30, 2017 It was an entirely clappy event. Webber even confirmed to a question that we can have a category one academy in league one, citing Blackburn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mello Yello 2,296 Posted November 30, 2017 Yep when questioned go on the attack.......Seems pretty rife between people on this forum......and they still don''t answer the question...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mello Yello 2,296 Posted November 30, 2017 Aren''t the AGM attendee shareholders the minority? They all snugly fitted into the Gunn club with some seats to spare.....Now if the shareholders filled three sides of the stadium - wouldn''t that be the ''majority''?.....

Mello Yello 2,296 Posted November 30, 2017 We are only a very small minority of support of the 22,000++ that attend the home games......that contribute to this forum......Where are the rest of ''em?

king canary 7,609 Posted November 30, 2017 @LincolnThere isn''t really any evidence for your opinion of Webber- you clearly don''t like him (that is your prerogative) but I don''t see why most of this is a bad thing..."He does share similar morals though, by making out he has good intentions for the club and fans... but ultimately just wants to use players and fans to make money. Make no mistake, regardless of status. we will always buy to sell with Webber in charge. He is more motivated by buying a player for x amount and selling for three times as much than delivering a long term squad capable of promotion."Firstly we''d be sell to buy with or without Webber- he hasn''t created the financial situation we''re in now. Also for a club like us, if he is bringing in players and selling them for 3 times as much that would be excellent- if we can buy low and sell high it means those players will have performed well enough to justify those big fees and will allow us to reinvest.

Sussexyellow 55 Posted November 30, 2017 ThanksIs that summer 18 or 19? An overdraft implies short term debt - were any strategies announced as to how this would be repaid?Sorry to keep asking questions but the slides on the website lead me to more questions than answers.

daly 505 Posted November 30, 2017 Delia, MWJ, Ed balls and Master Tom all know the usual suspects on the first 4 rows will always break into spontaneous applause as they gaze in admiration at the so called celebrities. Afraid the club is in dire straits which should never have happened given the money this club has received over the last few years.Given the football played at CR this season I can see a few thousand season ticket holders not renewing then the BOD will have real big problems Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shefcanary 2,410 Posted November 30, 2017 Blimey, £7 million overdraft on turnover under £30 million - that''ll take some doing. Gearing up to 25% and just for working capital. Barclays will take over the club before anyone else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Duncan Edwards 2,237 Posted November 30, 2017 Steve Stone said that the facility for such a position was already in place and as such there was no need to sell in January. Of course, should that be the position then sales will inevitably follow in the Summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
westcoastcanary 173 Posted November 30, 2017 According to the report on the club website questions were asked on "tactics, formations and long-term philosophies on the pitch". Anything of substance said on those topics? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shefcanary 2,410 Posted November 30, 2017 [quote user="ricardo"]Sussex, they didn''t see it as an insurmountable problem[/quote]Ah well a return to the "Barclay" Stand instead of the Coral Stand then - more likely the Barclay Arena rather than Carrow Road. The interest on the overdraft foregone by the bank is the outside investment everybody has been asking for. The £4.4 million severance package over the past two years will be dwarfed by the amount that will be paid to the bank now.
