Can we not knock up some sort of e-mailable form along the lines of the residents for newmarket document with regards the above, and

(1) get them on here,

(2) e-mail them to all those who have registered interest in the supporters trust

(3) on the totalrl forum

(4) printed off and distributed to those who attend the Bradford game tomorrow

Alternatively, do we know James Elstons e-mail address at the club, which can be put on here etc.., so we can all e-mail in our views on them remaining at the club and what it will mean in terms of our future support?

We simply have to do something to remove these idiots from the club once and for all

I don't think anyone at the club picks up their e-mails because they certainly never answer them.

Count me out, it will achieve nothing and is a complete waste of time. I will watch and see how events unfold thanks.

Good point but thats cos people normally want a response. This would just be a case of letting the Chief Exec know the feelings of the fans re the Richardsons in the hope that the message would finally sink in and they would go quietly.

No problems your entitled to do as you see fit just as much as anyone else.

The point about all this was that I get the impression that Ted is a very arrogant man and that it needs a groundswell of opinion to try and make him realise that with him and family at the club, the future is one with a lot less of an already small supporter base. By doing nothing as you suggest, we just let him carry on with his dodgy behind closed door dealings that have brought our great club to the brink and continued the theme of us being the laughing stock of RL.

They read these forums, they know believe me!

How about something a bit more public, match day protest in front of the sky cameras etc.

I don't think we'll have to put up with them any more after next week.

I'm guessing they don't really care, is that fair to say?

so do kears step daughter and wife.

And they can use their mobiles too by all accounts !!

Certainly do in the shop!

If the club is bought out of an Adminstration process (as seems likely) then Ted won't have any right to a continued involvement unless he is offered a role by the new owners.

Diane is an employee of the club so will have certain rights protected through TUPE. She could choose to resign (I doubt that she will) so it will come down to the new owners to decide her future.

O'Hara's are the admininistrators, any shareholders with any concerns should contact; simon.weir@ohara.co.uk

Where else will they find out what's happening !!!

I am reasonably sure, that although in normal employment takeovers TUPE would cover the staff, however it will be up to the administrators to decide who and how many will be maintained.
And presumably the ones not will be added to the list of creditors list?
Perhaps another reason for all shareholders to contact the administrators?

I agree that Administrators can choose to reduce the staffing levels, but if we're expecting that the period of Administration will be a matter of hours to facilitiate a sale of the club with a clean slate the Administrator will probably leave the new staffing requirements to the new owners.

If we'd gone into Administration at the beginning of January with a view to completing the sale before the end of the season then staffing levels may have been addressed by the Administrator.

You could easily do one of these... www.gopetition.com/petition/42315.html

When does hours start becoming days?
I dont think it will happen in hours.

Understand the sentiment, but the timescales and details involved will render any of this fairly useless right now and may be interpreted in a not so favourable light by the new potential owners.

Besides, we know that the feeling of supporters is very well known already.

I would hang fire until announcements come through early next week - just IMO of course.

Shareholders have the right to voice their concerns, something they have not been allowed to do (with any meaning) in recent years.
Their is a certain irony in using that right now, by airing those concerns to the administrator.

The original intention of the Trust was, ironically, to galvanise the small shareholding into a single unit which could hold some sway at the club and, as such, air those concerns.

Administration will result in the end of those shareholdings and other avenues will have to be sought.

Administration will mean the loss of a lot of shareholding in a small number of hands!!!
I can live with it!!!

Swings and Roundabouts!

Without admin would you not be wound up? Which would result in everyones contracts being void? Players & staff?
