Lord Flashheart 0 Posted July 4, 2010 Investment perhaps but not a takeover. As already mentioned, the shareholders would probably have been notified. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kdncfc 0 Posted July 4, 2010 I''m pretty sure that takeovers are usually announced and then go through if they''re accepted by the shareholders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kdncfc 0 Posted July 4, 2010 I though that the details of any takeover were announced at a press conference and that they were then subject to the approval of the shareholders which is normally a formality. I don''t think the shareholders have to be contacted until it has all been made public. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any takeover (this doesn''t apply to MINORITY investment below a certain level) has to be voted on by shareholders. But with a 61.2 per cent majority stake that would probably be a formality, assuming this was indeed a friendly and not a hostile takeover. The only way in which it could be stopped would be if it was so obviously a lousy deal. Say one in which S&J were lining their pockets at the expense of the club''s long-term future. Not, as it happens, something I think they would do. In that case it MIGHT be possible to mobilise public opinion against the deal to such an extent that S&J scrapped the idea.

You''re a customer of the company and it doesn''t make any sense for there to be a blanket rule that companies should have to inform their customers in this situation (and even less sense for them to have any sort of decision making powers - imagine if Tescos was being taken over and had to inform, or get the approval of, all of its customers...).Of course, whether football clubs should be structured this way or not is a different question. If the FA had any spine at all we might see football clubs being run like they are in Germany, say - and with knock on effects for developing young players that might be successful at international level. But I don''t expect the blazer-wearing free-lunching buffoons will do anything but bleat on about how the premier league (which they don''t even run, of course) is the ''best'' in the world. /rant over.
