Quote: Scarlet Pimpernell "If he wants to guarantee his continuing involvement he can take over the club, but it is pretty obvious he lacks the finances to do so. He could which happens quite often negotiate with a new owner to stay in situ for a period after the takeover.
The problem is we have one motivated seller plus a club in need of a motivated buyer with the finances necessary and one who wants to stay in place. We cannot go on the way we are because with or without relegation the club has been starved of cash for many years.
I am sorry but at the end of the day the club’s survival is bigger than any one individual. I would point out he is not the majority shareholder so I suppose he could be out voted by the others because it will come to this at some point, hopefully soon.'"
That's not true.
No one who 'wants' to stay in place at all.
All shareholders have said multiple times they will sell their shares for nothing and not call in their loan.
It is other people who are saying Minards should stay and he has said he would,maybe, in some capacity, if Ellis wanted him to.
