If Ketan ends up in the jail along with Gardiner after their flagrant abuse of their companies house access codes then, for the sanity of the other prisoners, I hope they at least get thrown in the same cell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Given the amount of companies that Makwana has created and dissolved, I'm sure he is well aware on how to mess with the very lax Companies House. Gardiner would also be be even stupider than I thought if he is attempting any sabotage on his way out. He would at the very least be jeopardising whatever payout Savage has given him for termintating his contract early. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what the notice period would have been but I think he was only still here by the grace of the directors and that Ketan chap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northstander Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Considering Mr Makwana isn't a director or shareholder in any capacity whatsoever of ICT at this point in time this makes this even more batshit mental. Perhaps he may feel some pre-agreement terms have been breached but the devil will be in the detail of the agreement itself and sadly for us all that will be covered by NDA's. Can imagine he may be chasing recouping some legal costs though. Appears fair to say on the face of things that he was highly unlikely to be provided permission by a person with the authority to do so given the "pausing" of the takeover talks with 77Ventures. And here was me for 24 hours thinking the banter years might be coming to an end 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Someone’s clearly just jumped the gun in adding Savage as a director on Companies House and swiftly removed him. He said himself, he’s got the chequebook now and Charlie is the CEO. Makwana, as someone on CTO pointed out, hasn’t bought any shares in the club so has zero power at this stage, or if he has, there’s been no meeting with current shareholders to sell theirs to him, or release new ones for him to buy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ott Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 10 hours ago, Ludo*1 said: You’ve missed the post a few days ago where I openly admit to being hoodwinked. His chat about free port, the concerts and making the connection to the locals was very believable. He had said he had experience of putting on events in London and at that stage we had no idea just how shambolic this event was going to be. All previous concerts at the stadium had been very successful. His podcast interview was very convincing and positive. He just appears to have been a very good ‘salesman’ without any of the substance. To not secure the park and ride cash was really poor and that was a simple deal can’t believe you wasted your time gathering those quotes, nor can I understand the purpose of it. We all know we’ve been duped. Are you just rubbing it in? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are bang on here. Its possible to be a director of a company on Companies House without being a shareholder. Its the shareholders that hold the voting rights and therefore the power. Savage could have been appointed a director in order to comply with one of the company articles to allow him to do something - participate in a vote, add funds, sign a document, etc etc. This year alone I have been involved in the hiving of two LTDs into one, as well as a members voluntary liquidation and you would be amazed at the hoops that shareholders and directors have to jump through to get things sorted. What you see on Companies House does not reflect the true story. Edited August 15 by Pete the Jakey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete the Jakey Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 And while we are on the topic of shareholders, in my opinion the biggest mistake Caley have made was the sidelining of Sandy Catto in 2012 as a director who ended up gifting 20% stake to charity. He owns 11 ocean going cargo ships, half the harbour, and is serious money. He could easily have been your Roy Macgregor instead he was treated appallingly and forced out by the board who knew better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flawed business model of clubs is a house of cards typically just one death or supporting businesses financial issue away from failure. What is needed now is not a new benefactor long term but someone with vision and plans for a sustainable future and even potential growth derived from revenue streams and not hand outs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy's money has been put to good use not just spunked like Romanov and Mileson, and I am confident when he does step down we will be left with a positive lasting legacy, either financial or otherwise.
