Perhaps he'd accept a carriage clock?

If Fitton needs 75% of the holding co.(presumably to gain total control?), JW has 51% so how much is held by MD or his nominees?

(Sorry, I know it's been posted before somewhere but I forget ...)

As for a percentage of profits from relocation, the profit would have to be achieved first. Surely there would be many years of very high administration expenses incurred?

Personally, it's 75% of the club shares, which the holding co. holds (they currently hold 70% of the club shares, so 75% is 52.5%, which is a controlling interest).

The percentage of who holds what in the holding company, is up to who you believe, but JW holds over 50%, so can do what he wants with the shares, so if he wants to sell 75% of the club shares which they own for £1, he can.

Sorry So69, but I thought AF wanted 75% of the holding co., which owns 70% of the club. JW owns 51% of the former so therefore controls the holding company and effectively the club even though his part of the club is
just under 36% ... ennit?

But how can he buy 75% of the holding co., when the club is in dispute with Bill P about his £1.12m, saying it's for shares in the holding co., whilst Bill P says it's a loan.

The way I mentioned above, SSW/JW still keeps an interest, but no longer has a controlling interest, which is passed onto Fitton.

One of the things I was trying to understand. Depending on whose version you take BP/PE allegedly have 23 - 33%.

Not wanting to complicate things even more, all I wanted to know was the extent of MD's influence over holding company shares. which hopefully is nowhere near 25%. And who has the 24% needed to top up JW's 51%?

At max it is a third, but as JW owns more than 51%, it is ultimately his decision to sell the shares, because prior to the fun and games about BP's shareholding/non-shareholding, it was reported that JW had 2/3rds of the shares, whilst a another person held the remainder, believed to be MD.

His decision granted, but it doesn't give AF 75% which I believe is needed in a takeover situation to give the new owner unconditional control.

Any buy out specialists out there?
