Van Tornhout's Header Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Round of applause to all the guys who have gotten us this far. He may not be gone yet but certainly seems to be the closest we have ever gotten to getting rid of him. The champagne corks aren't ready to be popped, but I think we can put it on ice for when the moment does come. Also regarding MJ and the bank, the bank will have no say on who can and cannot sit on our board of directors. They will however have a say on the minimum period the shares need to be held before they can be sold without the bank being entitled to a good cut of any profits. This would have been agreed at time of the debt restructuring deal, to ensure they do not lose face by having someone turn a profit within a reasonable period of time that if the bank had held on could have been used to service the debt. MJ, loving the perks that comes from being a board member has twisted this to state he has to be on the board before he can sell his shares. I don't believe these two things are mutually exclusive, he just wants to remain on the gravy train before he cashes in his pension. You can all take a guess when the bank penalties will be dropped and MJ is free to sell his shares and keep all of the loot. Until then we are stuck with Michael Johnstone being a significant shareholder in Kilmarnock Football Club, however we do not need to have Michael Johnstone also functioning as a board member of the club in this period and hopefully the EGM when it takes place will sort that out for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMTK1708 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 close the door behind you on your way out MJ. then lock it. then bolt it. then padlock it. Then build a wall over it. Then turn around and walk away, preferably off a pier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killietilidie Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Great News for the Club ( if true ) , much more important for the future of Kilmarnock FC than whether Lee Clark stays or goes. Strange that these two stories hit the papers on the same day ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decripit Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 I will drive down from darkest Lanarkshire and purchase two season tickets the minute I get conformation that he is gone. I know of at least 3 others who will also renew but not till he is gone. Will the 29th July now be an official bank holiday in Kilmarnockshire ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could he have some clause with the bank that means he has to remain in order that the debts are not invoked? Just a thought. Don't believe what rat man said at the supporters club meeting, I believe the only stipulation will be he can't sell his shares till 2019, there is no way the bank would stipulate he has to remain on the board..... This smacks of desperation on his part to cling to the freeloading he profits from on match days. Edited July 29, 2016 by C4mmy31 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbk Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Let's all hope this is not a false dawn on two respects ___number one it is true! ___And number two all the lapsed investors and fans who have stayed away because of him honour their promises to return to our great club!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same people who use MJ as an excuse used Jim Jefferies appointment before... next it'll be Lee Clark playing too many English players as a reason not to attend. We all want rid of MJ but a majority maintained their support of the team whilst working hard in the background to get to a position where it looks like he will finally leave. The 3,000 others that have vanished and content shopping with the Mrs at a weekend won't return until the club is challenging at the upper end of the table. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be some improvement but i dont see it being a significant one. Its like Man City and Leceister, all these other people came out the woodworks when they became successful. Id luv to see us become successful but i would be bitter towards glory hunters all of a sudden buying season tickets, although it would obviously be good for the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonzer Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 I still think the 'five year clause' will be more to do with stopping individuals from profiting immediately from the sale of shares than any liability falling on the club. I'd also wager that the only tax penalty would be Capital Gains Tax for the individual making the sale 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a bit bitter when bobby fleeting brought out all the glory hunters and they stole my regular parking space 2 mins from the ground still, mj fixed that............ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesnowman21 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 While the fans might still stay away, once MJ is gone the club have at least a chance of bringing them back, while he is there all their efforts will be in vain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secret Squirrel Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Hopefully we get a good number of fans back because of this. It will take time to rebuild trust between supporters/businesses and the club but it will be well worth the effort. Hopefully he is gone in the next few days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTIDanny85 Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Hopefully before the motherwell game. Surely it would be more beneficial for the club in every aspect if he goes before the well game. Maybe it'll lead to LC being able to bring in a few more faces. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
