THE KNIVES WILL BE OUT/THE LAWYERS ARE BEING CALLED IN

Fri Dec 18, 2015 10:03 am

I've just been told Monday's Shareholders meeting called by Vincent Tan and the proposed Re-elections or Removal of CCFC Directors is going to be more than interesting and a lot of dirt might be thrown.

Directors are bringing their Lawyers

Hmmmm?

Annis I did not think that directors were allowed to bring their lawyers as it is private board meeting, I maybe wrong though!

Hmm very interesting Annis, there are times when he doesn't get it all his own way.

I can't say I blame the Directors.

Who have you been told are bringing their lawyers?

Steve Borley is chairing the meeting , so I can`t see it will be him although the meeting is at the offices of one of the lawyers the club uses (Capital Law) so I expect a lawyer to be present.

I can`t believe that any of the Malaysian directors will be present or have lawyers there and Mehmet Dalman said on Saturday that he would not be attending.

That only leaves Michael Isaacs - is that who you say will be bringing his lawyer? He is a shareholder , so has the right to attend and vote.


I also can`t see why there will be any "dirt thrown" as it is a simple shareholders vote to remove each director in turn then take up an option to re-elect them if that`s how the shareholders vote. VT alone will decide who is re-elected as he holds so many shares whatever the debate about the merits of each director.

The Trust`s stance as a shareholder is that it cannot vote to re-elect any director that its members have no idea who they are or what they do for CCFC . But whatever our views (that we have already informed the club`s Chairman and CEO of , and they have accepted them) , it will still be VT alone who will decide.

I cannot make the meeting personally due to other work commitments all morning , but David Craig , the Trust vice -chair will be in attendance.

It is a shareholders meeting , not a board meeting , and any shareholder can appoint a proxy to represent them (provided they lodge the proxy form by 4.00 p.m. today)

Keith, I was shocked to hear about dirt etc
But I got it from the horses mouth.

I have wondered why this meeting was called and the need for it as, as you say Keith, it's Tan final word that counts .

So that "horse" is Michael Isaacs then?

The meeting had to be called under company law as it is shareholders who pass resolutions to remove directors. The meeting has to take place even if the voting outcome is obvious beforehand.

Mike, Sam is a Honorary President, but he has a Director on the board, which Tan can't remove until Langston is fully paid off, as thats what Tan signed and agreed to.

This is the guy who squelched on selling his shares to Tan. I'm told he has not been at CCS for a few games now.

Annis

Sam's representative is on the football club board, not this one that the meeting has been called for which is the parent company that owns the football club company. The only directors of the company where there is the shareholders meeting on Monday are the 7 listed in the notice.

Told it was 20% total.

It is the squelching of selling his shares that bugs me. Without the happening the debt to equity won't happen. I tended to believe this was a deliberation arrangement between Isaacs and Tan himself. Now Isaacs is Tan main dislike at present it makes you wonder what has gone on between the 2 of them. I tend to believe Isaac is getting greedy.
