so its none of the fans business who owns the club, its not any of the fans business what they decide to do with the club , how they spend the money the fans invest in the club .
i want to know that the club is in cappable hands so yes it is my bloody business . :mad:
and if you did ask burger king they have to tell you because they have to be run in an open and transparent way .

Now I can respect peoples different opinions but you seem to be empty on any such thing. If Limerick FC are run by a company then of course it is in their interest to know who are the shareholders. You must be oblivious to the going on with Man Utd and Malcolm Glazer and how very interesed that the Utd supporters are but let me guess you are just going to tell me that it's none of their business.
I get very worried when people are asked to reveal their identities etc There are few enough on here who aren't friendly with one player or another and they are never asked to identify their connections. Anyone is allowed to post on here and as long as its not abusive then why have a problem with it.Quote:

So I guess I just have to live with that. Manchester United are a plc - that is the only reason anyone knows anything about Glazer, MacManus etc. We may have an interest in finding out who owns the club but we have no entitlement to know. Until the club is floated.....
I wonder where the original question is coming from? Is there some problem with the consortium that took over - I haven't heard of one - so I wonder about an agenda behind the question.
I am not talking about you Nempton - I know you for a while now and through your posts here you seem a reasonable and fair guy - but I really sense some animosity towards the new consortium. Everyone needs to be careful because in situaiotns of change like this lots of people have agendas. I am looking forward to the coming season with a lot of confidence. I am more interested in who plays than who owns. :ball:
LFC In Exile: In regards to the issue of identity you are of course right. We recently saw how Anto got a rough time here and it was uncalled for. I don't want to know who Willie John is, I guess my statement was broad in nature but that was because it was written in haste and clear annoyance at Willie John. I just find that he has been quite abusive to other posters and I don't appreciate that. Its all well and good to challenge someone's post but not to insult the poster by using derogative language towards them. What I was trying to stress in my opening statement was that Willie John is not the moderator of this forum nor does he have the right to tell people what they can and cannot discuss here. Sorry for the misunderstanding :o
I have no major problem with the consortium otherwise in another post I wouldn't have congratulated them on obtaining the first division licence. I know with the new consortium that there will be teething problems and they will be busy focusing on the new season but I think any animosity that might be brewing could be avoided if they held a Q&A forum with the fans as soon as possible. I think it is important that they try and build a good relationship with the fans. I think it would be reassuring to all if we were able to ask them direct questions that are preying on our minds. I think the problem overall is that the new consortium are keeping their cards close to their chest and we seem to be in the dark about who owns the club and what is happening next so this of course is going to create unrest amongst us. Besides I think most here are unused to the new position that Limerick FC finds itself instead of the days of all dark and gloom :)
Lads to be fair, the consortium haven't been in charge for very long. Between getting Hogan Park up to standard, getting the playing matters right and getting all the behind the scenes work in order, such as the licence etc, i'd say they barely have time to think at the moment. I'm sure the Q&A session with supporters will come soon, give them a chance! They have inherited a club who had absolutely nothing, not even a pot to p**s in, and whose players were all out of contract again this season.
I think so far they have done very well. According to Gael we had 15 subs on Sunday against Cork, at times last year we had none. Noel O'Connor has also said he expects four new signings by next week. Thats a pretty good squad already. They also have Hogan Park cleared and 640 new seats are on the way. While I see the point of some fans about wanting to know what is going on, I don't see what the big rush is. I'm sure all will be revealed in time. I think the eagerness for information is probably a product of the paranoia and contempt that we had for the last regime.
Just give the new guys a bit of time.
That may be true.Quote:

:ball:
Private Companies do have to send details of share ownership and directors to the Companies Offic every year. This info available to the public.Quote:

I'm sorry - my post wasn't very clear. I can of course find out when a return is made but until then I can't. Also, finding out who shareholders are requires a payment to the CRO.Quote:

If I had a computer at home I'd probably invest a few quid to find out what is the name of the company Cork City are trading under.Quote:

im not interested in individual share holders but just the director s and chairman . same as every club around the world know who the chairman is at least .
i support everton and the chairman is bill kenwright (used to be in corrie ), directors include paul and anita gregg (who own greggs bakery in liverpool )
jon woods and ceo is keith Wyness (joined from aberdeen ) .the main investment is from the sports fund which is headed by chris samuelson .
none of this info is a big secret because they have nothing to hide .
but im also i limerick fan all i know is i think danny drew is something to do with the new take over any thing else ive heard is just rumours .like its noc family money so hence he got the job etc (just a rumour i heard )
i think its important that fans know who owns the club because they were here before and will still be here long after the owners are gone !!
im not saying anything bad about the new owners just want to know they are nt axe weilding mainiac's or anything :D

Hi there:
I think at this stage there is a lot of speculation about who owns the club etc. In a vacuum this is bound to happen. I have explained this to the new Owners and have asked to them to hold a Supporters night to end all this speculation. A Questions and Answers session would be a great idea and it would help dispel any fears of Supporters.
I, for one, dont fear their Bona Fides ...new Ground, More Teams, Bigger Squads good Plans for the Future..all these are not the work of People without the best interest of Limerick FC at heart but I am aware that Football clubs are a two way street and communication in both directions is essential.
A good info evening could put all of this stuff to bed and setup channels of communication between the Fans and the Owners going forward. I am awaiting calls to confirm when this meeting will take place.
All the best
JohnD :)
