Surely as owners you should be told the exact details of the deal and who the bidding club(s) are and how much is being offered along with incentives.
So if this players put in a tfer request as he wants to move to L1 do the 'owners' get a vote on whether to accept it.....pathetic

Looks like Bristol City ... http://www.thisisbristol.co.uk/wdp/sport/City-poised-snap-teenage-striker-Akinde/article-295181-detail/article.htmlBristol City boss Gary Johnson was last night understood to be closing in on a deal to sign highly-rated Ebbsfleet United striker John Akinde, writes James McNamara. A host of clubs have been chasing Akinde's signature and Ebbsfleet confirmed yesterday that a bid had been tabled. I understand that City have won the race to sign Akinde, aged 19, after talks with Johnson at Ashton Gate yesterday. The teenager has scored two goals for the Kent club so far this season. One factor in the move has been the need for it to receive approval from Ebbsfleet's owners. The club is owned by fans who belong to the website www.myfootballclub.co.uk, who took over the club earlier this year. More than 20,000 members have an equal say in the club's decisions. But Akinde could be unveiled by City as early as this afternoon. |

So by abstaining Fatbury has contributed to Bristol City signing a player.

How stupid, you want to be a part of this club yet the first difficult decision you have to make you decide to abstain?? Thank fuck people like you aren't in control of our club. I'd be so pissed off with all of this if I were an Ebbsfleet fan.
And I agree with Tans, surely as owners you need to know who the buying club is?
Absolutely spot on all the hoo-ha he made about it last year makes his abstinence kind of silly doesnt it ? |

I havent actually voted at all yet ... I was steering towards abstaining because although it made good business sense to sell - my heart wanted him to stay with the club - but I knew I should be voting in favour ...
However now I know its Bristol City .. has to be REJECT ! YAY!

Fatbury in one day you're highlighting why this is really a bad a idea. Like I said before if I was an Ebbsfleet supporter I'd be so worried about these people being in control of "my" club. You're making Diamandis look like a saint.

The reality is .. that the majority of voters on here vote with their heads .. Akinde WILL be sold - the club will benefit to the tune of £140,000 plus and sell on clause (trust me he will be sold for more one day!) and this will help with debts accrued during the season and allow an extra and much needed central midfielder to be bought.
Hopefully Pook!!
I am bigging him up big time on their forums!!
The wisdom of crowds does actually appear to work - there are problems at times but so far so good for Ebbsfleet - especially when members raise money to sign players as in the £20000 signing of Gash ... its an intriguing experiment and even if it fails Ebbsfleet will be better off at the end of it .. as they will have gained some fans for life ...

I had heard that it was Stockport who were bidding, though if the above is true then I am guilty of spreading untruths to the forum.
Sorry about that everyone.
