So it's plan B then

[Mr Cynical]

A point worth noting about Martin Lange's golden share is that it is non-transferable. He cannot sell or give it to anyone else and in the event of his death, it simply ceases to exist.

Is that why he's gone into hiding??!! There's a few people might like that share to 'disappear'!!

 

[Stuardo]

I well remember the evening in Stripes when McGlashan announced that Martin Lange was transferring his shares in BFC and GPS to Bees United. As I was leaving Stripes I walked across the Braemar Road forecourt and two supporters were discussing how great it was that Lange was handing his shares over and how wonderful McGlashan was to have pulled off this deal. As I walked past them on impulse I said "It's never gonna happen". One of them said to the other (and I don't know how he knew me) :-

"Take no notice. That's the **** who is always knocking McGlashan and Bees United".

Well several years later I'm still a **** and Lange still hasn't handed over his shares. Noades, Rogers, White and Lange have one thing in common. They are all property developers and all will be (shall we say) trailing the Griffin Park situation with some interest.

Is there anyone out there who still seriously believes that Altonwood will just sell to an "arms length" property developer and let someone else come in at the last minute and clean up. No, not you Larry,......you can put your hand down....... I took you for granted.

The most compelling reason I have read yet for us to do all we can to ensure that someone who has the best interests of the club at heart manages to buy it and starts looking after it properly (and i mean BU by this statement really!)

I just hope that it isn't too late already.....(cue: Flash........ahhhhh!......saviour of the universe. "Flash, I love you but we only have 14 hours to save the Earth....")


PS - I think you will find that **** is actually pronounced ****

Larry, most of what Brian is quoted as saying in fact came from the BIAS meeting in the Griffin before the Bournemouth game. I phoned Brian for an update before we went to press, he had to leave a meeting with lawyers to take my call, and although saying he did not have anything new to offer, did in fact listen as I read back my quotes, so I would be extremely surprised at any rebuke.

I have no problems with the way the paper is portrayed on here. If we mess up and get stick, fair enough, I'll try and put it right, and move on. If we do well and get a thumbs up, I say cheers, not rest on the laurels, and move on. I only cringe when it descends into personal abuse, but Jim is big enough and ugly enough to fight his battles.

I'm not sure I saw Larry at that meeting :shrug:

Massive improvement in recent weeks. Thank you

Care to tell his Dad that ? :shrug:


:laugh:

What I meant Ed, and I think you did understand , was that whereas I have taken criticism on here and taken it on the chin, I have - to my knowledge anyway - not come in for some of the more personal stick that Jim has. If I did, of couse I would consider myself big enough and certainly ugly enough to take it.

Oh can I, oh please can I, PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE can I comment

So what's all this about £150k being needed in the next 4 days then?

When was the last Levack's law?!!

Does he a have clause in his contract that his lead story must go on the back page - even if they are boring?

News story by my favourite journo:
Fans need to find £150k
By Tony "THE LIAR AND PLAGIARISER" Flood

BRENTFORD fans must raise another £150,000 in the next four days or they can forget about owning the club.

That is the stark message from Brian Burgess, the chairman of supporters' trust Bees United, who said: "This is the last-chance saloon for the fans if they want to own the club outright.

"We are still £150,000 short of the £1million we needed to raise to complete the take over from owner Ron Noades and we only have until Tuesday to find it.

"The alternative is for us to help the existing Brentford board negotiate with an outside investor to put money in."

Surely this is a job for multi-millionaire, Doug ("monies not a problem for me I could take over the club tomorrow if I wished but I don't want the hassle") White.

The time is now right Duggie baby.....oh but I forgot...."You'd rather not". Fine well get off the ****ing BFC board then and take your sponging mate with you please.

Thank you and shut the door on your way out.

at times like these i really do wish that i was related to the Duke of Westminster. (and no, not because he has a large property portfolio..... rofl )

Why is this (sorry if I am being thick), is it that within the next 4 days the club runs out of money or is it that in 4 days BB runs out of patience with the club?

I am confused as I thought we had until the end of Jan

[wanderer paul]

Thanks for correcting me abee, regarding the GPS ltd/BFC ltd shares from ML, supposedly passed over to BU. I didn't know that this hadn't been completed. I bet many others didn't realise either. So ML is probably rubbing his hands thinking of another windfall again then. Yet another so called 'supporter' doing the sh*t on the bees.
Are you sure abee, that YOU haven't got the spare £8 million in your bank account?!
Why are clubs run by complete TO**ERS.
What is the plan 'b' then? Will abee enlighten us as to what he thinks the month/s ahead plans are please. Or is it highly sensitive like some of AF's answers to Q & A sessions. For his ears only!!

Look, do what I do when I need to cheer myself up.

Pour yourself a drink and browse through the old Larry Signy programme articles........you'll find that Noades can't take the club back anyway, it's all good news, Graham Hall is in a daze at the amazing things going on (and whilst Hall wishes he could share all of this joyful stuff with us he's bound by commercial confidentiality and only the really important people like him are allowed to know), Lionel Road is "going swimmingly" ( no wait that was Finch a couple of weeks ago before he saw the fifth budget) and then there's the Gilette site and boy is that exciting and furthermore.........

On second thoughts if you wish to borrow my pearl handled revolver and put an end to it all..........

If I wasn't such a "sad **** " (copyright email from a fellow supporter July 2005) then I wouldn't have known either.

McGlashan, you see (copyright Larry Signy 2202-5) and his Bees United board learned their lessons from Tony Blair........you tell the punters what they want to hear, send them away with happy smiles on their faces and then if anyone ever happens to recall their promises you tell them that sadly there are commercially confidential reasons why they can't expand on this and furthermore...........

It's a bit like the Gillette site. That was a classic BFC "Throw some meat to the wolves, they're getting too close to the cabin door" ploy.

Remember this "really exciting opportunity" confided to us by Rogers in a January programme article. What you never get is a subsequent......"Well that's down the drain chaps and chapesses but if you liked Gillette you're simply gonna love the Smith Kline Beecham site........"

a) that within the next 4 days the club runs out of money

Can someone help me understand this latest twist in the saga PLEASE

Having a beer with my Mail contact later tonight if someone wants to pm me I will try my best to get some coverage as a last ditch attempt but need to know what this is all about

You could point out to him that all this happened after 1997. I'm sure they'll be able to establish a tenuous connection between our crisis and Blair' Britain. If we can only prove the link with MMR and Bird Flu we'll got a whole campaign out of them.

Sorry, flippant. Serious face on.

Isn't this the QPHa approach to Boardroom difficulties?

It does have it's attraction though.....(I would require a false identity & a free BeesWorld link from the Caymans.)

 

[chippendale]

Have I missed something important? Where can I read this vital piece of news? Where is the backing to the statement?

Larry, I would have thought you would have learned by now that you only get the truth by reading the GPG.

 

[Luton Bee]

Hang on a sec, Plan B? doesn't that assume there was a plan A in the first place?
