    Shareholdings out. Pretty grim. 59% owned by People unwilling or unable to properly run/invest in the club.

    I'd say a "controlling share" is 50.1% as a minimum. Not 41% with a gentlemen's agreement you can run the club

    Will we never be rid of these Madrox ****s?

    This is going to take some PR work to smooth this over, then again who would believe it now !! We’ve been lied to repeatedly for over a year. Never seen this coming, I knew the chancers would still maintain a percentage but not that much.

    I certainly would not have renewed had I known I was supporting Madrox, particularly Donald and Methven. Will not renew next year with this bunch of liars running things. Disgusting betrayal of trust.

    On a technicality its not a lie -

    "
    Understanding a Controlling Interest
    A controlling interest is, by definition, at least 50% of the outstanding shares of a given company plus one. However, a person or group can achieve a controlling interest with less than 50% ownership in a company if that person or group owns a significant portion of its voting shares, as not every share carries a vote in shareholder meetings."

    However i'd say its being economical with the truth - now we know why the NDA was in place to stop the natives from becoming restless if they knew Madrox was still owning a lot of shares.

    Interestingly from the same page:

    "With the majority of large public companies, for example, a shareholder with much less than 50% of the outstanding shares may still have a lot of influence at the company. Single shareholders with as little as 5% to 10% ownership can push for seats on the board or enact changes at shareholder meetings by publicly lobbying for them, giving them control."

    Sartori's stake looks to be the key here.

    Oh, another kick in the bollocks from Sunderland. Lovely stuff.

    We've been lied to right? Or is there some technicality they can wriggle out of it with.
