hutch Posted 4 May, 2017 Posted 4 May, 2017 Just wait until the Gobshyte brand hits the malls in California - then see who's laughing then.
benjii Posted 4 May, 2017 Posted 4 May, 2017 In fairness, he makes a valid point and that's the Disney in him coming out. The first rule of IP is not to **** with Disney.
hutch Posted 4 May, 2017 Posted 4 May, 2017 It's also interesting that they will achieve the required 75% majority mandate to sell if 51% of the shareholders vote in favour. Like everything that goes on down there, it's bent as fook.

Like everything that goes on down there, it's bent as fook. No, that's not right. 75% of the shareholder votes are needed to approve the sale but the trust votes with one voice based on the simple majority voting of its members (who are not shareholders themselves). The trust owns just under half the shares so if the trust votes "no" it can block the deal. If trust votes yes then the trust shareholding plus about half the "Presidential" shareholding will reach the 75% mark and approve the deal. That seems quite sensible and there's nothing bent about that.
a1ex2001 Posted 4 May, 2017 Posted 4 May, 2017 It seems almost inevitable that they will sell, will be interesting to see the divide in the fan base particularly if the mickey mouse club doesn't work out and the club needs to be rescued again. If I was a pompey fan I'd be voting against this chap doesn't seem to have the financial muscle and commitment necessary to bail them out of the mess they are in so will almost certainly leave them high and dry in a couple of years.

That seems quite sensible and there's nothing bent about that. Really? So 51% of the trust members and 51% of the real shareholders will meet the required majority. I think we're agreed on that. Why pretend it's 75% and that it's some kind of safeguard against new dodgy owners.
benjii Posted 4 May, 2017 Posted 4 May, 2017 Yeah, but there's nothing bent about it. I know they're a bunch of ****s but there's more than enough to mock without inventing bentness!
Doctoroncall Posted 4 May, 2017 Posted 4 May, 2017 Micah is for it: https://micahhall.wordpress.com/2017/05/03/reality-cheques And he says why.
doggface Posted 4 May, 2017 Posted 4 May, 2017 I wouldn't trust Micah Hall in a million years based on his last sentence: "let no-one underestimate the intelligence of Pompey fans."
trousers Posted 4 May, 2017 Posted 4 May, 2017 (edited) Micah is for it: https://micahhall.wordpress.com/2017/05/03/reality-cheques And he says why. Perhaps I missed it in my hasty skim read through, but I can't see where they are aiming to repay all the creditors that sacrificed 96 pence in the pound just to keep the cesspit of a football club alive in some shape or form. Surely the honourable thing for a "wealthy investor" such as Eisner to do would be to offer to reimburse those that lost money? A bit like what Liebherr ensured happened when he bought Saints. Or maybe they should just sweep that under the carpet in their efforts to patch up their dump of a ground. Priorities, priorities... Edited 4 May, 2017 by trousers
eurosaint Posted 4 May, 2017 Posted 4 May, 2017 Just listening to Eisner on radio Solent, really playing up to the 'bestest' !
eurosaint Posted 4 May, 2017 Posted 4 May, 2017 I tell you what, anyone who thinks that Krueger is full of sh!t should listen to this guy ! So far up his own arse that he has almost disappeared!
Golactico Posted 4 May, 2017 Posted 4 May, 2017 Some of it is toe-curling. Citing Britney Spears, Christina Agualara and Justin Timberlake being in the Mickey Mouse club as proof that he nurtures talent.
aintforever Posted 4 May, 2017 Posted 4 May, 2017 It's not exactly going to be hard for him to talk the mongs round though is it? Just say what great fans they are, bang on about history for a bit and he's in.
eurosaint Posted 4 May, 2017 Posted 4 May, 2017 Licking Skate arses big time and (surprise, surprise !) they seem to be lapping it up
eurosaint Posted 4 May, 2017 Posted 4 May, 2017 A couple of hard hitting questions batted off with gusto ! Openness and transparency is their mantra and they will never be like the previous dodgy owners !
eurosaint Posted 4 May, 2017 Posted 4 May, 2017 He's not going to build a stadium on the 'Isle of Ryde'
eurosaint Posted 4 May, 2017 Posted 4 May, 2017 If you don't want us to have it, then just tell us ! If you don't trust us, don't do it ! He's saying all the right things ! Done deal !
Golactico Posted 4 May, 2017 Posted 4 May, 2017 "Mickey Mouse doesn't look like he did in 1935, but he's still Mickey Mouse". The new Pompey slogan.
Pamplemousse Posted 4 May, 2017 Posted 4 May, 2017 On Twitter, they all think they're off to the Premier League very soon. Next season is going to be fun I feel. I can't wait for the deludedest to be proven wrong. Again.
eurosaint Posted 4 May, 2017 Posted 4 May, 2017 Some idiot has just used the F word and asked how the prospective buyers would react to the word 'scum' ! Obsessed about a move to an SO postcode seems to be the biggest bugbear ! In the end all a bit sad, but rapturous applause and pretty well gauranteed that they will go for it IMO !
Golden Balls Posted 4 May, 2017 Posted 4 May, 2017 Not listened to any of it. Seems a bit of a mixed response on social media. More positive than negative but certainly more negative than I expected. Apparently the locals have been embarrassing in the questioning
Pamplemousse Posted 4 May, 2017 Posted 4 May, 2017 Did any questions from a 'Trevor Oast' get asked? I sent in some questions like - Are they planning to move to Sholing? Will Balram Chainrai be coming back? However, it sounds like the locals provided plenty of stupid questions anyway.

Apparently the locals have been embarrassing in the questioning TBF, some asked searching questions so it was not a total one way love-in ! Eisner did not give way on any of his previous demands and held his ground ! Was a bit 'honk making' at the beginning though when McInnes said how wonderful the bestest were, then Eisner said how wonderful he was before saying how wonderful the bestest were too ! I got the definite impression that 'negative' questions were not well received by the majority in the hall but I guess I could be wrong on that one as I wasn't actually there !
Chez Posted 4 May, 2017 Posted 4 May, 2017 Micah is for it: https://micahhall.wordpress.com/2017/05/03/reality-cheques And he says why. he suggests Disney will be contractually obliged to come up with the £10m. Interesting that he seems to totally disregard the possibility that none of the current presidents might be interested in investing more, and thus increase their own share. Perhaps that is the case.
Chez Posted 4 May, 2017 Posted 4 May, 2017 Did he explain why he won't permit the PST to retain a share or have any representation on the board?
eurosaint Posted 5 May, 2017 Posted 5 May, 2017 Did he explain why he won't permit the PST to retain a share or have any representation on the board? At length, he said that for what he needed to spend over time, it was only reasonable that he and his family had total control !
trousers Posted 5 May, 2017 Posted 5 May, 2017 (edited) Anyone ask him why his tenure at Disney ended in acrimony? http://www.slate.com/articles/business/moneybox/2002/08/the_louse_in_the_mouse_house.html The company that he has run since 1984 is sputtering on all cylinders Disney has performed worse than all but three of the Dow stocks Eisner has been living off his early hits for an awful long time. In the past eight years, few bosses have matched Eisner's threefer of massive compensation, poor stock performance, and rotten management. He has committed pretty much every sin in the CEO's Book of Transgressions. Eisner, a control freak, has been unable to share the corporate toys Eisner bought a valuable asset and let its value erode. Disney stumbled in its core business. And it has stumbled in new businesses. Eisner's Disney has also been an exemplar of poor corporate governance Edited 5 May, 2017 by trousers

Mr Biscuits Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 he suggests Disney will be contractually obliged to come up with the £10m. Interesting that he seems to totally disregard the possibility that none of the current presidents might be interested in investing more, and thus increase their own share. Perhaps that is the case. Can someone explain. Why Disney are involved in any way shape or form? I thought Eisner's only connection is that he used to work there?
Weston Super Saint Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 Can someone explain. Why Disney are involved in any way shape or form? I thought Eisner's only connection is that he used to work there? Because they're a Mickey Mouse club?

OldNick Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 How much did the club presidents pay for their share of the club? It seems they are going to get back £6m if I read it correctly.
Pamplemousse Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 Plymouth losing at Grimsby Very good news for the skates
Golden Balls Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 Looks very likely that they will win division 4 today. You have no idea how much stick I'll get for that, despite the huge gap that remains between us.
Pamplemousse Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 They'll need Hartlepool to do them a favour too. Doncaster are all over them at the moment, I can't see them holding out
Pamplemousse Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 Ooh Pompey champions as it stands. Come on Plymouth and Donny
Chez Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 How much did the club presidents pay for their share of the club? It seems they are going to get back £6m if I read it correctly. They will get 51.2% of the £5.76m, assuming the deal goes through. That's what they put in, assuming they go for the £1000 a share offer and not the £1 now, up to £2000 later option.
Chez Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 Can someone explain. Why Disney are involved in any way shape or form? I thought Eisner's only connection is that he used to work there? They are not involved, just use it because I forget the spelling of eisners name.
Chez Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 Donny scorestuffed the skates home and away. Deserve to be champions. They never let me down. Come on Donny
Pamplemousse Posted 6 May, 2017 Posted 6 May, 2017 Hartlepool equalise! Need a Doncaster or Plymouth goal, otherwise they're champions.
