that was my thoughts Jasper28, but I have to pay 5p with HSBC so would need to get another 50,000 to add to the 50,000 I already have !

[jasper28] 19/12/2008 10:26

I managed to buy some yesterday for 3.58p just to bring my average down, well you have to if he's gona give atleast 8.5P

[outsourcer] 19/12/2008 08:04

Thanks for that chatterjee

[chatterjee1932] 18/12/2008 22:45

8.5 pence is confirmed as the price the day before cancellation, according to finance director with a helpful letter that I received this morning and now I am waiting for news on the real price for de-listing. I estimate £150,000 per annum savings from de-listing. I also believe that McCabe will act in the club's interests rather just his own. However, it's my IMHO, DYOR and all that.

my Broker HSBC are only offering 1/2p to sell yet 5p to buy

[jasper28] 18/12/2008 15:30

He can do what he likes and unfortunatly force you to sell your shares at the market price, Currently @2.5p sell.

The 8.5P is what he is prepared to offer us.

Stinks really but we'll see at the AGM what is on the table.

[jasper28] 18/12/2008 11:00

I would just keep hold of your shares for now.
Until it is clear what McCabe is about to do with the club.

I have no idea half the time what mreyes is going on about

[jasper28] 17/12/2008 10:15

Is Mr mreyes trying to tell us something or is he just spreading a rumor?

[jasper28] 16/12/2008 16:27

I agree with you there chatterjee1932, i think you might just have a point.

With what has happend todate, it wouldnt suprise me to see some incentive being offered.

You have to remember, there a lots of original share holders out there, who he helped out previously by allowing them to keep their free season tickets for the next ten years, when he first arrived after the farce which was McDonald.

I will enquire with my broker. Thanks for the heads up.

[outsourcer] 16/12/2008 07:46

mreyes - what the hell are you on about ?

[mryesyes] 16/12/2008 01:25

Its good to hear about the new oeners.
Best to stay in the Championship this year until this listing buried

[chatterjee1932] 15/12/2008 17:25

Outsourcer,

your shares will probably be a nominee holding that are quite a popular way of investing online. However, ring you broker to find out.
If they are in a nominee holding, you will have to make a decision on whether to transfer them to your name. I just feel that the board will be loathed to hand money back to smaller shareholders and may offer other incentives to private investors. Nominee account holders might not necessarily receive anything. However, please do your own research and I shall try and pass on the outcome of the meeting.

Best Wishes,

Chatterjee

[jasper28] 15/12/2008 10:55

Has everyone received any information in the post about the proposal?
I havent had anything as yet.

[outsourcer] 15/12/2008 09:00

Chatterjee, when you say you have trf your nominee holdings into your name, what does that mean. I have mine held in my HSBC share account, is it best to trf into my own name ?

[chatterjee1932] 14/12/2008 14:19

27/12 will be all about convincing us about the values of being delisted- although the chairman may have a point (www.financeweek.co.uk/item/6114), it is important that smaller shareholders get paid a fair price for their shares.

The good of Sheffield United is all very well but not at the expense of the millions invested by many of it's followers and fans.

I agree with the sentiment of this and the other share boards that we must stand up to any rip-off arrangements.

I have transferred my nominee holdings into my own name this week- ready for any incentives. McCabe will not want to unecessarily pay any money out- however small- that would result in less available for a spring push for promotion. However, we can't wait for much longer for success. The Robson freeze left me feeling cool about McCabe having any outstanding ambition to take The Blades further than before. Being a fan and being seen to be doing the right thing won't be enough- particularly after any delisting. The brightest talent will be off to Villa or City in January and he has to be seen spending the cash and more on better players. Clubs like Swansea and MK Dons are showing more direction with their ambition.

nothing so glamourous, just the Channel Islands

[sussexseagull] 13/12/2008 17:57

OUTSOURCER: Do you by any chance live in the UAE?

Anyway, it makes little difference as to who attends the AGM because KM has the deciding vote(s) on what will be done.

[soulsauce] 13/12/2008 13:04

S66 lol!!

Try this one:-

[outsourcer] 13/12/2008 11:25

cant attend EGM, live outside UK

[sussexseagull] 12/12/2008 18:45

If all else fails, just attend the AGM on Dec 27th and voice your concerns there.

You might get a cup of coffee out of it - if nothing else!

It all went downhill when Neil Warnock left 'by mutual consent'

'janes bond' There was mention a few AGM's ago of there being around 9000 shareholders.

Incidentally, I know a John Bond who's a shareholder. Any relation?

:-)

[outsourcer] 12/12/2008 14:58

why are people selling their shares on the cheap to Kev and chums, if all the PI's held onto their shares I am sure we would get a better price than the 8.5p (if correct) otherwise Kev cant get them all all for himself which is the whole purpose of this exercise.

[s66blade] 11/12/2008 10:45

soulsauce. I emailed the address you suggested and instead of a reply to my query about SUFC I got a reply saying something about an imminent takeover of an S6 club, since then it has repeatedly emailed me saying the same thing "the takeover is happening", "the takeover is happening"..........
