MB owns 25% of the club
MB controls the club via controlling appointments to the Executive that run the club on a day-to-day basis (currently comprises Alan Bird, Andrew Mills and Andy Scott).

Hi Banana

MB doesn't own 25%: he owns 35.9% The details are on the BU website. ( http://www.beesunited.org.uk/faqs/who-owns-brentford-fc ) Can't you get anything right?

Thanks to all who attended and provided insight (I was in a plane and, anyway, it's too far away for me on a Thursday evening).

I'm lost as to how the thread took a surreal turn about MB - is he planning to realign the pitch 90°?

thats fine banana, often people make honest mistakes on my messageboard, only a real **** would make any snide, patronising or belittling comments about it, wouldn't you agree? x :kiss:

Put it another way then earth. What don't you think he can do? Do you think he's sat in the boardroom thinking 'i'd build Lionel road myself but these BU fools won't let me, why they won't even let me up the wage budget to 30m" he's got an option to buy the club in 4 years that BU can't dodge unless they win the lottery. He pays the bills and that's always who controls anything, although your marriage may be different :shrug:

He does not have a controlling share of BFC.
He does not own GP.
Yes he stumps up 1M plus for players.
He said himself that he does not get overly involved at the moment.

Nothing wrong with the way my marriage runs, been with mine for 25 years, now **** off back to mars !

Well the sign says it all then.

Just recalled one small note.
The matchday programme made a profit last season for the first time in a long while.
Worth attending these things for that type of nugget alone.

He doesn't want to hands on run the club but he can appoint anyone he likes to do so. What's the difference? Please explain what extra powers he needs or what level of control he's missing out on so he can move the club forward?

We both agree :bound: that he can't do anything with GP so that's the only thing I could think of that he doesn't have control over. So that's why I asked if that's what you thought he should have.

Put in a couple of Brentford-related kids puzzles and I'm sure that would be one way of pushing up sales a little bit

Like Banana, I didn't realise that he owned 35.9%. Personally i would like MB to have 99% now !!

I think it's good that the golden share protects GP

Shame MB didn't pay off all the debts so everyone could start with a clean sheet. spose you can't ask for eveything eh.

Steel teaspoon, I've promised my Mrs, a merclol

... and what difference would that make? I think that's the point that everyone else is making - and that you're missing.

Will that bring more punters into a match?
Will that give us an automatic lift in league position?
