I won't be there, but it'd be good if someone is prepared to post how the meeting goes.

Surely a good starting place for tonight's meeting is simply who is the 1.2m owed to and when does each major debt need to be repaid?

Surely, with what could affect the future of our club, do the shareholders have a legal representative at the AGM ?.

The main thing is to remember we are a limited Company, lots of different rules. Play it by ear as the powers that be will have things in hand. 

It's to be hoped so Jc

Now it’s option c . What does that actually mean . 

 

Taken from the Fev web pages! 

Option C) The club sign over the land to a private equity firm / development company to take the risk while the Club retains a controlling stake.

The same as option B, except the club hand over the reins to either a private equity firm, private individual(s), or a development company. 

The club will retain a majority shareholding and will end up in the same final position as option B.

This option takes the away the risk. The club were informed by an ex-chairman that the club failed to remove the Greenbelt status back in 2007.  The club have had tentative talks with the interested parties, however we cannot progress with anything without the shareholders vote.

All routes will be explored, and whichever gives the club the most protection versus risk will be chosen.

People in glasshouses and all that.........Fev's latest accounts show a positive value of assets minus liabilities of some £640k whereas Dewsbury have a negative value of some £224k with £375.4k of debt.

To be perfectly honest the meeting wasn’t run at its best and became quite shambolic in parts, people were becoming frustrated and angry!!!

Im Fev and im proud

£120k per annum is quite some debt burden.

Depends whether you can afford it or not. At the moment the Club are (or appear to be) able to. Problems for all Championship and C1 clubs are likely to come in 3 years time if the Central funding disappears, or is just greatly reduced.  Hence tonight's meeting and vote to try and at least mitigate the possible effects.

I take your point about the solution.

Without that solution, the accounts show that the debt seems to keep growing (hence currently unaffordable).

Don't forget  you pay less tax on profits as a limited company. Now it is 19% but is destined to go down to 17% in 2020.  When affairs are sorted as they should be our debts will be easily managed. Our assets outstrip most clubs and we should with careful management progress very favourably.

I just read that 60 people voted to run the club into the ground, thank goodness we have some forward thinking fans. Well done to the 89 fans that saved our club. UTR!!!!!

It’s hard to believe that people think ‘doing nothing’ was the best option.

Debt growing doesn't necessarily mean it's unaffordable by any stretch. Would moving into a new house with a bigger mortgage, or buying a new car on finance (both of which would increase your personal debt) make your debt unaffordable?
