Woodstock Jag Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 Jacqui Low has resigned as a director of Three Black Cats. Statement from the PTFC Working Group is here https://partickthistlefcworkinggroup.com/2020/05/01/jacqui-low-resignation-from-three-black-cats/ "We are surprised as any Thistle fan at the news of Jacqui Low’s resignation as a director of Three Black Cats. We don’t currently know where this leaves us or how it will impact upon the move towards a fan owned Partick Thistle. We are presently attempting to clarify the situation and will provide a further update as and when we are in receipt of any information." Without wishing to jump the gun this may suggest that Colin Weir's Executors have waded-in. Key questions to ask: is she still the Chairman of PTFC? is the intention still to transfer the shares held by TBC to the fan-owned entity? is the intention still to transfer the land owned by TBC to PTFC? And if the answer is yes to any of these three questions: for how much longer/how soon? subject to what conditions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodstock Jag Posted May 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 Slightly weirdly it appears she resigned as a TBC Director on 27 April but was then reappointed on 29 April according to Companies House. https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/SC591721/filing-history No idea what's going on there.

The only resignations have been Colin Weir's (on death) and Jacqui Low's (on Monday). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 Quote A spokesman for Murray Beith Murray, solicitors to Three Black Cats have issued the following: “In addressing a technical issue unrelated to the company’s holding in PTFC, Ms Low is shown on Companies House as having resigned and having then been reappointed as a Director of Three Black Cats. There was a time lag in recording her continuing appointment with Companies House but that has now been done. We regret any issues or difficulties this may have caused Ms Low.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone has obviously pressed the wrong button. Then they corrected it by submitting the appointment of directors form (AP01) again by logging in, completing and submitting. Companies house don’t just remove directors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
