My thoughts on 'No to the takeover"

[Lancer]

Perhapss your right it might be to early - but some are already jumping on the waggon such as these "no to the take-over.

[lovedeanblue]

There seems to be some who are totally opposed to it without even listening to what is on the table. If those on the board are cosy in their Directors Box seats, which I hear, I'd ask them to consider the club not their chuffing seats. I haven't a clue who the guys were on Friday handing out the fliers, I know two ST holders who ripped theirs up. I am quite happy to wait for the Q & A session 2 weeks on Thursday, I wish those who say No would do the same.

I agree and also with Lancer about Fan representation on The Board. It's one thing for Eisner to be 'impressed' with how supporters saved the club, but he needs to respect it.

I also agree that fan representation on the Board is my line in the sand about the takeover. I can see no reason for this not to happen - unless things will be discussed that might be to the detriment of the club and the new board would not wish for these to be made public, after all one representative is unlikely to be able to influence major decisions. But I am willing to hear the arguments at the Q&A. I am a cynic and after our experiences and those of, say, Charlton, Blackpool, Leyton Orient, et al I believe it is right to proceed with caution.

Well said my friend

Still feel very underwhelmed with the "offer" on the table.......still feel there are more questions that need clarification.......like

Why no direction from the PST/Board with regard to the "offer" from Eisner? (Never held of a board not offering advice/comment to a takeover offer).
Why such a low valuation of the Club? (Surely it must be worth more now that we have no debt, have our own training ground, academy etc).
Why has the PST/Board only now come out painting what appears to be a "doom and gloom" picture of the state of the ground? (So much for transparency!). There appears to be "mixed" messages from different board members regarding this issue!

My opinion on the "Heritage" board hasn't changed...........put it in a signed legal contract that the name of the Club, Colours, Nickname etc cannot be changed.......have visions of several personnel covered in cobwebs sitting in a room being told periodically that "nothing has changed"! It's a token gesture by Eisner to placate those fans that want a PST member on the board. (Which isn't going to happen as Eisner wants total control).
No commitments for a redeveloped ground or a new stadium.........although I do accept that he promises to sort out the " pressing" ground safety issues.
No guarantees from Eisner that he won't separate the ground from the Club etc.
No guarantees from Eisner over the Club badge........

Hopefully the meeting at the Guildhall will hopefully clarify a few of the "issues" raised........it's certainly going to be interesting!!

Feel likewise underwhelmed Phil and I can vouch for a good friend of mine who feels likewise. I am not in the City Thursday evening due to a previous commitment so will leave it like that till after the gathering. Before I vote I shall read carefully what is posted on line and printed in the media, then chat to a few at Fratton Saturday. Then and only then shall I decide.
