Re: ALK Capital or Farnell/Elkashashy takeover
I know absolutely nothing about football club finance/take-overs etc.,
but can i ask a simple question:
Do both these would be owners insist on outright ownership, or would they invest if they had enough shares to control the club?

Re: ALK Capital or Farnell/Elkashashy takeover
I can’t help feeling saddened by this. We probably do need outside investment to stay at this level given the path we have taken since qualifying for Europe, but we will lose what is just about unique about us. The little guys, chin out, relying on our wits and togetherness to take on the global money men and so often putting their noses out of joint. It was a rearguard action we fought, for the soul of the game, and it was bloody magnificent. If someone offered me the sort of price some have suggested for the shares I own I would make around £100k, but I wouldn’t sell them

Re: ALK Capital or Farnell/Elkashashy takeover
I totally get your sentiments. Watching us in division 4 and where we are now has been a phenomenal achievement but we need to adjust to maintain that. We'll never forget our meteoric rise like a phoenix and we can be proud of that but it's ok to adapt to the times to compete. Nobody can ever take that away from us. We did dream the impossible dream in merely getting back to the top flight.Culmclaret wrote: ↑Thu Nov 12, 2020 7:16 pmI can’t help feeling saddened by this.

Re: ALK Capital or Farnell/Elkashashy takeover
More confident in both parties and what they would bring to the table than I was after what I have learned over the past day or two. Both differ in what they offer. It'll be interesting if that is ever divulged.

Who is favourite Ben/DJW? Is there even a favourite?
I can’t help but pray for ALK even though, really, I know just as little about them and their plans/finance as the Egyptian.

That sounds more positive. Appreciate you can’t or wouldn’t want to divulge, but would what you have heard mitigate some or all of the concerns raised on here, particularly around Farnell and the Egyptian ‘money’?

Thanks for appreciating I/we can't divulge much. I'm not the only one trying to keep you abreast while maintaining a level of decorum regards the ongoing developments.
I don't think anyone can ever be certain of anything in life but I am naturally a negative person and I am quite sure that concerns, which are quite correctly expressed by the way; as fans. I believe both parties provide a positive way forward. Depending on what you want as a fan I guess. Both have differing ideas. Both seem to have strong bids which would benefit in differing ways. One more than the other but that can be countered by the model presented by the other.

Some interesting developments in the last few days, it seems.
Personally speaking, I'd echo some of what's been said about thr various directors, even though I've only had fairly limited dealings with them.
BK was the only one ever to agree to a fanzine interview for me... Much respect.

Re: ALK Capital or Farnell/Elkashashy takeover
In whole numbers, Garlick has 49%, John B has 28% and the other five directors have 16% between them. I think the five are fairly close in their shareholdings.

Re: ALK Capital or Farnell/Elkashashy takeover
Given that Garlick has in excess of 49% and realistically has over half I doubt anyone could hold up a deal should he decide it's what is best for him. I would suspect he'd probably want John B onside given his shareholding but I wouldn't think the other directors would have much say.randomclaret2 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 12, 2020 9:54 pmCould any of, or any combination of, those 5 hold any potential deal up ?

Re: ALK Capital or Farnell/Elkashashy takeover
They are £1 shares but they don't actually have a worth, it's all dependent on how much someone would want to pay for them. Mine cost me £1,500 when I first bought them (100 at £15 each).

Ben. I know you can’t name your source and I’m not trying to get you do this.

Now you appear to be equally well informed about both bids.

Re: ALK Capital or Farnell/Elkashashy takeover
Hi Tall Paul, technical answer to this will be in the company's Articles of Association - copy filed on Companies House records. Let's assume that it does require a vote by Board of Directors - and let's assume some directors vote against sale of shares to a new investor offering to buy all shares and become the new owner of the club then there will be an issue for the board to resolve. Depending who is for and who is against, I can imagine the board being able to sort it out, possibly by forcing the dissenting directors to resign - or possibly by shareholder vote - where MG starts with 49% of the vote.

Based on the figures being discussed, each share is roughly worth between £1,500 and £1,800.

Re: ALK Capital or Farnell/Elkashashy takeover
Estimates are that 1 share may be worth as much as £1,400 - if the club is bought for £200 million. If purchase value is lower, then the share value will also be lower.
Anyone reading this, should remember that Capital Gains Tax will be due on any gain in the value of their shares.
I have no shares in the club. Congratulations to all supporters who are also shareholders.

EDIT: OK, I see that figure I've quoted is a little lower than poster above mine has quoted. I've not done any maths - his figure might be closer.

Re: ALK Capital or Farnell/Elkashashy takeover
Hi bill, a share is worth what a buyer is prepared to pay for it. Its worth is not what you originally paid for it. Remember the value of investments can go down or up. If BFC is bought by a new investor there's no doubt that the value of shares will be higher than was paid for those shares, 5, 10 and more years ago.boatshed bill wrote: ↑Thu Nov 12, 2020 10:31 pmCT, do you know what a share is worth/ And how many have been issued?
However, all other things be equal, the value of shares may be lower than they would have been if covid-19 hadn't hit the country and stopped fans attending Premier League games.

Yes - not sure how far that goes back but it was definitely in the articles in the mid 1960s when Bob Lord held off potentially troublesome shareholders such as Jimmy Mac's father-in-law Luther Wilkinson and then Ken Bates.
