javeajag Posted April 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 The thing I find weird is 3BC has one director Jacqui Low who is also the Chair of the Club Board yet it’s presented as though these are two separate entities ( I know they are legally ) but in reality they are not …..looks like TJF upset her ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawlty Towers Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 So the shares are not going to be transferred to TJF but "3BC will use that time to assess how the transfer of shares can be made sooner rather than later, with a view to reporting back once the season ends.” Who do they plan to transfer the shares to? PTFC Trust. Me - I am a fan or is there some other group just about to appear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiThistle Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 Did TJF already collect money? Or just pledges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dl1971 Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 I'm bamboozled by this. Do I cancel my contribution ? Is the TJF effectively dead in the water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norgethistle Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 How she can state The foundation doesn’t meet “fit and proper” with a balance sheet like hers at her own Indigo company is beyond me. Remember she is not a fan, was nowhere near the club till put in place by Colin and has zero cash or history tied up in our club but us as fans are being dictated by her 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exiledjag Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 I have never been convinced about fan ownership compared with the traditional model of ownership. I am however more intetested in the transfer of the land back to PTFC. Does this represent is a significant advantage for the future development of the club or a millstone around our collective neck. The tone of the statement from 3BC sounds like they want to wash their hands of PTFC and as quickly as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javeajag Posted April 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 As I have said before we should stop using the name 3BC which makes it sound like a ‘thing’ ….it’s Jacqui low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlsarmy Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 It’ll be interesting to see what 3BC ( Jacqui Lowe’s plan ) is , it was obviously Colin Weir’s wish to pass his shares on to the fans. Surely she wouldn’t go against his wishes/will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodstock Jag Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 One of the big concerns about the 3BC buyout was going from a very diverse set of shareholders (albeit in factions) to one shareholder having overall control of the club. The return of the land to the club is important but it’s not the whole story. For as long as 3BC controls the club without reliance on other shareholders it controls what happens to the assets of the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow & Redneck Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 (edited) Well. What are we going to do about it? Lot of whinging as per usual, but are the fans going to make their feelings clear? Unless there is an impassioned desire from the fans to force change, there is not point in greetin.

Fawlty Towers Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 (edited) I take it there will be an update on the PTFC website on Monday with the information that they wanted put out to fans: “Trust went completely after TJF failed to share important information with fans as we asked them to after we chose to make it available to them for that sole purpose. If they wanted the info given to fans what is stopping them doing it themselves? Edited April 9, 2022 by Fawlty Towers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Foundation should absolutely be using today's events as the foundation of a recruitment drive. Get people on board with the aim of fighting back. It's effectively one person against a potential few thousand. It's time for them to harness today's disappointment and anger and take it to her. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
