Footballfirst Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 6 minutes ago, Jambo61 said: You are aware the club cannot be sold without a supermajority vote and no monies are released from the FoH side to members? So 1) as I said many times before the bankrupt 'shares' have been treated very very leniently as they should not actually exist and 2) FoH is set up for stalemate re major changes......only a sale of last resort would be likely, and by then you'd presumably be back at square 1 i.e. bust! Yes, I know the odd bit about FOH's governance. 1) Why not, as that's what happens to companies in administration? Share values can go up as well as down. 2) Not necessarily. Although there is a risk of stalemate as you describe it if a sufficient number of members disagree with a major change proposed by the FOH Board, there remain a number of scenarios where FOH could or perhaps should sell some or all of the shares. Feel free to lobby the UK government to re-write the laws on insolvency though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get your kicks from a talking shop, well done! I see the shareholder certificate like my plot holder certificate, a nice momento. That's it! If the dinner can raise anything the FoH can't I'd be most surprised! Don't choke on your starter, but feel good about being there, well done again! ???? I thought the shed was the place for meaningless arguments. I have got absolutely no idea why people attending a dinner gets you so worked up.

TurboT Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 2 hours ago, billybalfour said: I don't think one person who attends the dinners think they can influence anything.It is a decent evening where funds are raised for the club and speakers are usually Hearts orientated.Joe Savage this Thursday and it is quite interesting to get the point of view of people who are or have been involved with the club.The committee do a good job organising all this and it is all to easy for smart arses like you to criticise.Much ,much more is raised for the club at these dinners than you will ever have contributed.I suggest you get yourself an invite along to one if you aren't a shareholder to see what they are all about. You would soon see that not all fans are keyboard warriors and actually like to bring up their points face to face. That's where I am at, I don't think I can influence anything but enjoy the meetings. £15 for a decent 2 course meal with tea and coffee and interesting and varied speakers.

Carl Fredrickson Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Well done on the share transfer. As for the the Shareholders meetings, I cant believe anyone can get worked up about folk wanting to gather and talk/hear about Hearts over a meal. Sounds like a great night out to me but then again I am not getting any younger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Jambo Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 If JKB has retained shares in the club, would the admin consider making attendance at the shareholder dinners one of the things they held a ballot for? If there is a cost to attending the winning JKB member could always be required to pay that. Potentially also ballot attendance at the AGM for any interested members. There might be JKB members who don't have shares who would be interested in attending a club AGM to see how it works and listen to what is said. Maybe there are reasons neither of those would work, especially if the shares are held by an individual on behalf of JKB. Or maybe the board admin have enough on their hands already. To be fair the benefits of being a subscribed member of JKB are already very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemclaren Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 On 28/09/2021 at 22:01, davemclaren said: A few years back we had a ‘consultation’ on the forum regarding the 300,000 Hearts shares that JKB members bought as part of a group fundraising initiative to try and help keep the club going during the final year of Vlad’s ownership. The consensus at that time looked to be in favour of transferring them to FoH. We took a decision that we would hold off on any transfer until FoH actually owned the club. We also took on board the comments that we should retain an amount of shares so that we could send a representative to AGMs if ever thought necessary, though we have never done that as yet. I can now confirm that we have just recently transferred 290,000 of the JKB owned shares to the Foundation thus retaining 10,000 shares in the name of jkb. So, just over a year later I can finally confirm that the share transfer has now completed. I know this because I received the share certificate for 10,000 shares this morning. 😎 FoH now holds an additional 290,000 shares bought by the members of JKb to help save the club. I like to think that the money raised, due to the generosity of members, helped keep the club going until the end of that most scariest of seasons and wasn’t spent on Russian submarines. Even arseholes can help save their club. 🇱🇻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwidoug Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 It's historic. We didn't let our club die. They did. And they will own that forever. Ant the Glasgow authorities and the west coast media know it. And through far more thin than thick, FoH has just got stronger. What a story.

If only Rangers fans had been willing to do the same, they could still claim the titles and history from their once proud but now dead club.
