Foxes Trust Receive Bid Document!

[Jeff]

Have the FT got opinions/votes from their members already? Or are the Trust board just making the decision for them now?

They did email the trust members asking at what price the trust should sell the shares for.

The problem is because of the confidential nature of the bid they can't email it to members, previous FT emails have been leaked. They would have liked to have held a meeting for members but the short timescale involved means that's probably not easy, I'd be interested to know if they are trying to arrange one anyway.

 

[Melton Fox]

The FT are more interested in the rival bid

 

[Boy Genius]

Also I'd like to point out that I'm totally pissed off with every fecking Tom, Dick and Harry asking me to justify my opinions and how i arrive at them.

and how do you arrive at that Melts?.....:icon_bigg

its not a car boot sale and they can barter, they have what the offer says..... if voted in

Got to say I am with you on both of your points Melton and no, I wont justify my comments either :icon_wink

The trust email gave a number of options, with members asked to select what they thought would be acceptable, presumably to judge whether people thought MM's offer was acceptable without giving away what the actual offer is.

I think that the deal is done now

The foxes trust are irrelevant to the whole thing now - whether they choose to back it or not.

I would like to see how they will take things forward as a fans organisation after the take over happens - I wonder if MM will support them?

 

[Cate Fox]

I very much doubt he would (or should I say I hope he doesnt)...

 

[Feriol]

the Foxes Trust have posted on here that they expect to back MM and RL have said the same.

however this was before we heard of a rival making a move. but i would expect them to consider all of their options.

But if the Trust's 2.5% tips the backing over the 75% required, that is far from irrelevant, it seals the deal

loads of if's, plenty of but's, a few maybe's, to many happening soon or happening this week

just going round in circles:icon_sad:

 

[Michael_J_Fox]

will the circle be unbroken in the next 48 hours?

 

[Durham Fox]

The FT will back as they know it will go ahead without them and all they will be doing is shooting themselves in the foot. No nicey nicey with MM if they wont sell up.

 

[Michael_J_Fox]

True DF - but have they already shot themselves in the foot based on their recent attitude towards the bid?

 

[Cate Fox]

More than likely I would wager MJF

 

[joe501]

According to RL the deal will be done on Tueday now....

 

[Cate Fox]

like I'm going to believe the shite that comes out of their mouths

I'd rather believe a badger than them
