would you be up for an est1892 sharholding group?

[Morph]

okay so following on from another thread, but there is talk of allowing groups, families, websites etc to purchase shares in this new fans initiative to buy the club from G & H.

Now of course there will be many on here who will probably want to buy their own shares if this was to come about, but who on here would be up for putting into an est1892 share?

Obviously there's still lots to talk about like agreeing amounts etc, and hopefully we'll hear more after 5pm today, but it does sound slightly intriguing if it all works don't you think?

Hell yeah.

No ****ing way

Too many personalities in website forums, the clashes would be continuous.

It would be a waste of a share to have an EST one

not really, if there's a decision to make you whack a poll up on the website, job done, anyway it's not about all that it's about a way of raising funds for the club

Yeah but we'll be lucky to raise 5k between us seeing as people will realise it's a pointless exercise, so we may raise 5 k out of 500 million. Pointless

[Barnyard]

Hell yeah.

Thought about it...changed my mind. If it does happen i'd rather have my own.

again that's fair enough, i doubt i'd have a spare 5k lying round tho, 1k i could probably do maybe 2k at a push

[Steve101]

Interested yes, but needs careful thought, and that's a problem with lots of people here!!!!!!!!

[Dhav]

I dont think there's any way they will get 100,000 people to donate £5k each. But if by some miracle they manage it, then what? THey buy the club for £500m, that's £500m going straight to the Americans, and is probably a lot more than what the club is worth. Who's going to run the club? Is the club going to able to make money and be self-sustaining? Because I can't see 100,000 people being rich benefactors and putting £10m in here and there in the way Moores did so we could buy Kuyt. I'd very interested in hearing their proposals on this.

Neither do I but if as suggested they do it on the Barcelona model you can buy in much cheaper than that, around a couple of hundred quid, I'd be in then.

Of course if thats not the case and this is the only way I could afford to do it then yeah I think I would.

well hopefully we will hear more in a few hrs, was only looking to guage the general feeling on here really

thing is tho it's still just the same thing isn't it, if you could buy shares for 100 quid, you are still only getting a 50th of a share, so you are with 49 other people.

it's only the same thing that would apply on here, however we'd have the added bonus of being able to stump up the cash as a collective if they don't lower the shares below 5k

True, but I thought the suggestion here was that we would vote 'in house' and then have one vote going out which I think could lead to HUGE arguments in the forums!

Whereas with my one share (a 50th) I can just vote without justifying it to some idiot who wants buy Heskey back.

Some sort of voting system on here might work but it would have to be very secure as it would only be a matter of time before some Manc got into it and buggered it up.
