    Keyes owes DFC and the fans nothing but if they bailed out tomorrow what have they really achieved?

    They have gave it a good go (especially the playing side) but they have never been totally convincing for me.

    A football clubs owner has to take the fans along with him otherwise all the enthusiasm will fade.

    1500 regulars are posted missing over 3 seasons.....we shud have been looking to add 1000 to 1500 over that time frame.

    Also think the "local" advice they have been receiving can't be great.

    I don't think it's possible to point the finger at one specific thing to try and explain why there is such a disconnect between the ordinary fan, players, dfcss and the current board but there is.....the defiant season looks and feels decades away....almost as if it was a different club.

    The apathy (including myself) among a huge chunk of our support is frightening.
    This is the bit that worries me most. It seems so elementary some of the steps that have been failing to address and I don't understand what's going on.

    Keyes wanting 75% is definitely a bit suspect as the property holdings company which would become the parent doesn't actually do anything to generate losses so not sure about that part. It would also make the club easier to sell as someone just buys the holding company. If they are ready to abandon their £2m investment c'est la vie

    think the point is that the losses at DFC could be used to offset profits made in other group companies. you would think this was important for FPS going forward.

    Not sure on this,but I seem to remember you need 75% to change the articles of association. Which would mean those 'entrenched rights' could be removed.

    Like I say,not sure if that percentage figure is correct,I am sure someone would know

    Very concerning if that's correct

    preparing the groundwork at least. If there's a negative reaction to the season ticket packages across the board they may just let the club fend for itself till they can get away

    you need 75% of all classes of share which retain voting rights which they will never have
