so...

[Power to people]

Does that mean that Diamandis could go bust as we all know without stfc dunwoody would not be able to keep going all those consultancy fee's and employee's of their's we have to pay.

[OneAndrewFitton]

Well obviously that would be a very good thing but i doubt it.

[pumbaa]

more to the point, why are people not putting pressure on the club to name the people behind the consortium - they placed demands on the fan's consortium; so why so secretive?

It has surprised me too how little formal concern has been expressed. I was thinking of writing another letter to the Adver on the issue.

What other suggestions do people have?

[sonic youth]

i don't give a flying fuck about what happens to diamandis.

[Arriba]

i want to know why the board were so desperate for the fans consortium and bill power not to get control?
if i was bill power i'd go public and dish the dirt

[STFC_Manc]

sorry I think I have missed some thing, where does it say about the new consortium having 100% or etc?  confused!

[Frigby Daser]

Wills will just be protecting against a scenariolike Brady/Donegan et al....so should the new lot scarper, he can at least have some influence over the future of the club and drip feed it again...waiting for another chance to come along like this one may be...

I see it as a fallback protection

But without knowing the exact dynamics of the shareholdings, personal relationships, job responsibilities and decision-making, it's difficult to tell anything

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

The wills family and diamandis arnt leaving, they will still be there but won't be running things by the sounds of it.

Where does that article say Diamandis is staying? Nowhere. Why is everyone jumping to conclusions? The way i see it is that with the new owner holding 75% there is no role for Diamandis. He isn't a shareholder and he isn't a member of the board. So what would be the point in him staying?

[Samdy Gray]

Nail. Head. Hit.

[Spud]

What i don't understand is, the fact that the Wills family wanted out a few months back but now they seem to be back in control as part of this new BS takeover.

Oh and we haven't heard anything about the CVA as they're probably trying to just forget about it and hope it disappears.

[lebowski]

somewhere (i dont remember where) it was stated that the new consortium consists of the new investor, sir seton wills, and mike diamandes.

so in summary, he's here to stay.

At the club fans forum Diamandis was introduced as a shareholder. Quite whether that was of the holding company or of the football club who knows, presumably the former.

I think its being kept quiet because they know we will disapprove.Again ive nothing to base this on except natural pesimism.

[Reg Smeeton]

Interesting, i read it like this:

The consortium will own 100% of the club

The new boys will own 75% of the club

Sir Seaton Wills will own 25% of the club

Or am i being thick?

That's how I see it.

I'm bring optimistic about all this, it's hard because I think we've all (rightfully) got into a bit of a habit of negativity over the last few years. I'm going to break it, not that it will make any difference, and will probably just make me feel worse when everything goes wrong again. But I've decided and optimism it is.

Maybe if we all think happy thoughts everything will turn out ace.

    You're going to be one disappointed bunny FB......

Something has gotta go good sometime.  Like karma. Although thinking about the cuntish status of most of our fans. We probably deserve all the shit we get.....

No, you aren't bringing me down Mr. Reg. I won't let you do it. Optimism is the way forward. New consortium will come in with millions of £ of investment whilst simultaneously packing up Mr D and co's burning briefcases of fire.

Happy days.
