he definitely said he was going to force the poll and he didn't change it and to be honest "I can change my mind can't I" is a nonsense to hear from someone supposed to be running the meeting - especially as it was never said or put to the room about holding it at all

sounds like someone had a spoilt brat act and has just undermined it - he knows he's got already enough votes up to him to use so this is just fucking bollocks

Angus out of his depth. Causing Poll confusion. He is TOTALLY unclear.

so the chair was going to insist on a Poll then decided because a couple of people said they didn't want he's "read the room" - fucking blustering bullshit now

I say again. Split Resolutions 1 and 2 approach. Argue for normal vote followed by Poll.

This is a farce!

Total fucking farce, but I did say.

point has been missed again - it's not the proxy vote counting to the poll, it's that the people who selected a proxy haven't been given the chance to say they want a poll or not.

Somebody shut up Angus.

they've now said that proxy counts as people who can vote for a poll - how the fuck do you vote for a poll if you're not there? This is a farce

Split the approach across two similar Resolutions.

Wow DTB are getting battered

Do Resolution 1 as normal then Resolution 2 as a Poll

Yep the board is trying to say “no point in voting yes on this because we’re going to rewrite the constitution.” This is is the very last group of people we want rewriting our constitution.

MAD hopefully we are going to get some quid pro quo with better people on our side. PL/Championship clubs let go a lot of youngsters every year, not just 18/19 but younger. Would be great if those lads were given a pointer to us as a potential home for them.

If we're not rebels do I still get an X wing?

I hope everybody can see the bigger picture here. The club, plc, DTB have a plan and the only aim is delaying until that plan has slipped by the sleeping members.

Still discussing the way to call a poll and hopefully this is going to be the longest time on anything as the rest should flow

Nick, food for thought. Listened to a Harry Basset podcast the other day...and although Wimbledon were a little (but bitey) fish in a bigger pond, we'd pick off nippers too - cutting cloth etc. it's just the game. But this time round it's not a set of bibs, balls and a third team friendly. We chose to accept the PL academy funding, so we sell according to the EPP contracts. However - the PL teams do seem to be quite generous in appearance milestones/adds on/sell on percentage above the EPP contract.

OI - exactly, look at the way recent results have been presented: Meeting / Online / Proxy. Why show it like that if ‘Online’ is actually a ‘Proxy’.

scotty yeah that needs to be amended as part of it

Justin Clarke gone to Everton for a six figure fee

But a poll requires either the chair or 10% of those present and online to request it.

the key point being made there was make sure any member proposal is voted on as a poll

we are now getting side tracked into insisting it's called a poll vote not a meeting vote
