Moneyball And BFC

Where Metrodome is and surrounding areas were a dumping ground for old redferns slag out of furnaces etc

With the way Patrick Cryne has spoken about being a custodian of the club and how he speaks about the history of St Peters and Oakwell it wouldn't surprise me if it's not written into a contract that the club doesn't leave Oakwell. He's spoken about this a lot.

That could also be a reason for his family keeping a very small share in the club, it could be that is gives a chance to veto anything in the future

If the share is as small as you suggest ESR veto would be out of the question

if it has to be 100% agreed ?

Don't think that's how boardroom voting works does it?

I don't get it myself other than sentimental shareholding , like a family heirloom perhaps .

It doesn't stop anything in a vote , the club would have to be sold for £100 million in the future just to gain you £2.5 million , I wouldn't turn my nose up but the Cryne's are millionaires twenty odd times over and that's without the isoft money .

I'm sure I once read that Mr Cryne owned a Golf course some place, just wondered if it was true, or is it my owd age.

Good advice SB and tha absolutely reight. I try to adhere to that sort of philosophy when trying to lose weight but i think it applies to all aspects of life too.
