Annis, according to the strange company rules of Cardiff City Football Club (Holdings) Ltd, once any individual shareholder owns more than 50% of the shares, he can buy all the rest of the shares whether you want to sell to him or not. That's one of the reasons the Trust stopped buying more shares.
I've been begging the Club for permission to sell my small shareholding because having handed back my ST following the rebrand, I'm embarrassed to still be a shareholder but they haven't given me permission and no longer answer my emails. Personally, I'd be glad if Tan took them off my hands but I can understand if you'd feel different.

You sign them when you buy the shares.
Usually people don't read the smallprint but if you kept a copy of those docs it will be in there.

Cheers for that, but not good news, I was going to get rid of mine in May, but held back so I could still keep an eye on the club.
