Very illuminating To be charitable it seems that most involved had good intentions including Dave Bennett as far as I can tell from this article Perhaps not all the others though Now that Dave has made things clearer I would say that the chance of 75% of the members voting to change the constitution...

Daggers were set up in 2007 as a Company Limited by Guarantee without shareholders In this arrangement the members have all the power and the constitution can't be changed without their (the members) approval My understanding from an athletics club set up in a similar way is that any fundamental cha...

There has been a fair bit of abuse, some direct comments, plenty of implied so to say there hasn't is the smokescreen At last the members can hear exactly what is being put forward in terms of plans etc and make decisions based on that Some of the early comments about the wedding video could perhap...

[quote="ARNU"]You could see it that a man worth considerably more might be able to put more in if it were necessary. The consortium when their money is gone I'd imagine it's gone. I say give it a go. He's got a thankless task, he'll have haters from the off. Even I'm calling him tampax and...

Well we just can't possibly say that he will or won't buy us and rinse it dry. But that's not really any different with any other takeover of any club. Businessmen make money from making businesses profitable. And almost all businessmen have had failed ventures. Almost everyone fails at something b...

I haven't been very close to this so can only offer an opinion from afar but on the face of it the Gooders deal looks the best option. It is backed by the East's who have been at the club for ever and are genuine fans. So why is this Tamplin bloke still hanging around? There must be more to this th...

[quote="dagger4eva"]My understanding is that it was actually paid by the chairman, by means of a LOAN - only AFTER a 7 day notice to pay was received. I dont think Goodwin said anything oit of turn at all[/quote An instalment of the payment for the Jones transfer fee was due in the last 2 ...

IMO #VOTEGOODWIN.

The 'money' will be illusory. Especially as it is due to be paid in instalments.

Technically what is the difference between 80% control and 51% control isn't it still control? Whilst well aware of previous sugar daddy disasters I would still like to keep an open mind on all three bids 51% shareholding gives you an ability to pass ordinary resolutions. 75% gives you the ability ...

You can hear the interview again here http://www.phoenixfm.com/2016/06/24/dagenham-and-redbridge-in-takeover-bids/ Very illuminating. As already recommended in an earlier post it's important that the members have sight of the Liquidator's reports from companies who collapsed while under the control...

I suggest someone prints off the Liquidator's reports from the link earlier in the thread and hands them out to all Full Members well ahead of the meeting

I suggest that people read the statements of affairs and the liquidators' reports on the companies liquidated - links were posted above, as they contents might affect your thinking. Having read the Liquidator's reports if I had a company supplying goods or services to Daggers I wouldn't want to be ...
