Guest Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 22 minutes ago, Brockvillenomore said: That’s my concern. They are not voted on by all the shareholders, have no protection and are essentially there at the whim of this and future boards. The FSS constitution has nothing to do with the Club. I’m sure the clubs articles don’t even mention the FSS as they were only formed after the articles were changed. Are you suggesting the FSS shouldn’t have 2 directors on the board? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how or why it could be read that way. If what we understand is correct they are essentially appointed by the board, not the shareholders. So, what the board can give they can also take away. Maybe not this board, but what about future boards? What if the club is sold and the new board decide to vote off the FSS directors? They would have no protection as they aren't appointed by the shareholders. I don't think this is right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it as the exact opposite and he was concerned about ensuring FSS directors have a place on the board going forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know how the constitution works and if voting in directors at the AGM prevents future boards from voting them off. Guess the best protection the FSS can have is to continue building up the shareholding so they have more of a say within the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do supporters club buses get tickets “Ring Fenced” when it come to all ticket matches, or how does it work for them ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 10% shareholding guarantees a seat on the BOD, the FSS must already have that or must be near to it. The final shareholding/target which is now in sight will be 26% so the FSS will never have an issue keeping at least two board seats in that instance regardless of who makes up the rest of the BOD or owns the rest of the shares. Although I agree it does seem strange the FSS guys aren’t being formally voted on in the same manner as the rest of the directors.

I noticed that the two Patron representatives are to be formally appointed at the AGM but not the FSS guys. I thought that strange. If I get to the AGM I am going to ask why. Not doubt there will be a particular reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
