He may also qualify why they are negotiating, or have accepted the bid from the fans group and not AL's. The reason could be because AL's offers were so low that they were totally unacceptable, or that they don't trust him. Or both.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So wouldn't he have the money anyways to keep the club going regardless of whatever financial penalties us fans try? Glad the trust know what's happening...

We have requested meetings since December with the owner for an update/review of his first 12 months and future business plan. He has not been available. I will leave that there but glad is not the word I would use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcmetty Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 There are two things that will get to him: 1) The money coming in drying up - whether that's fans not renewing/attending, or sponsors pulling out - something I believe is already happening 2) Public embarrassment - we've seen this already with the reactions to the Daily Mail articles, and the response to the Trust setting up a fan's meeting 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy B has worked tirelessly on it to get the right tone and cover all the requirements. With a list of questions from Saturday's meeting and timescales. He is on draft 4 of it as we keep giving him feedback.....Bless and he has a full time job as well. As soon as its ready, I am sure Andy B will be back on here with an update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddog73 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Honestly think having watched back the meeting on Saturday again that a crisis meeting should of been demanded with Abdallah within 48 hours, what's the point in dragging it out any longer given that he manages to organise and attend a 'fans' meeting he threw together in less than 24 hours. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just do what your heart tells you to do, I'm giving the whole thing a miss, I can't justify going until there is a noticeable change of direction in which the club is heading. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusunga_Is_God Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 No one cares enough sadly. People will realise soon enough but it will be too late. People on here defended Corney to the hills and those that spoke against him such as myself were berated. Me and a few others were given countless abuse at the start of the season as well when we suggested that this season will be a disaster due to the owner. When will fans realise that things with this owner aren’t going to get better, the worst thing you can do is just to continue to go and expect it to sort itself out, because it’s not your problem. Well it is, make a stand for fucking once and give this owner the two fingers. I wont be going again until he’s gonna and i’m struggling to understand why anyone else would want to as well. Sentiment has to be put aside. We need to act fast, and have one banner to stand under rather than create several small groups unsure as to what their aims actually are which is what is happening at the moment with several facebook groups propping up with. The responsibility of getting the fans voice heard lies with the Trust. They are our outlet and whilst a letter may be a start, it’s only a very small one and I’m struggling to see what much it can achieve with Abdallah rejecting all previous invitations from members of the trust asking him to come and speak with them. The only way he is going to be forced out is if he can no longer afford it, and as far as i’m aware via posts on here and elsewhere, he doesn’t have much left. So therefore I won’t spend any further money with the club until he is gone, and I’d suggest others do the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookersstandandy Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Hang on, hang on. There was a meeting last Satdi - that I watched an hour of via the live stream - where I believe the outcome was to write a firmly worded open letter to the owner, from the Trust, on behalf of us all. We will await his response before taking further action, which could take the form of protest. In the meantime if individuals choose not to attend / not to renew their season tickets that’s their choice. In short, the immediate reaction protest arranged for the postponed Tranmere game, is in itself postponed until said letter has been sent and a response or otherwise received?
