New housing estate anyone ?

I should have posted this last night but I felt compelled to investigate further before doing so.

Having done so, I'm quite simply thoroughly disillusioned as to the direction of the club under the current leadership. There has been every opportunity for one or more board member to resign from their position and go public with the absolutely awful shenanigans at board level since the appointment of Lee Sinnott. By none of them doing so I hold them all collectively responsible for the position we find ourselves in and I really do want the sharholders to call an EGM to get rid and have the club oficially put up for sale.

So, **** it, here goes:

Yesterday morning I was summoned to meet with an associate of Broxap owner and PVFC shareholder Robert Lee. I met Mr Lee and was handed documentation with reference to the background of Harlequin Properties from Companies House, along with an exchange of personal emails concerning Mr Lee.

I have been asked by Robert Lee’s associate to release the following into the public domain.

Mr Lee, through Broxap, has invested £50,000 into PVFC, as is well documented, and Graham Mudie represents his shareholding on the board of PVFC. Robert is a Vale fan and sits in the director's box and, quite frankly, is as disillusioned as us fans with the direction of the club.

Obviously, Mr Lee is only privy to some of the boardroom dealings but would like the fans to know that Harlequin are allegedly set to invest £250,000 into the club now and a further £250,000 in September, to give them a majority shareholding of the current unsold shares issued.

With this, it is thought that Bill Bratt will remain as chairman until he retires (a further 2 years or so) and will enjoy an enhanced remuneration package, irrespective of PVFC success or failure. Mr Lee is concerned that this may be leading to the loss of Vale Park for the use of property development. As we know, Harlequin are in the property development business and if this deal goes through then Bill stands to retire a very wealthy man, by which time Harlequin will have control of the land and buildings. There is a possibility that Bill may also receive a huge 'thank you' bonus from Harlequin.

No one in their right mind would put money in at the Vale,unless they had other motives.

I like the way the OVF posters have assumed that a company who builds luxury holiday homes in the Caribbean has singled out their prime piece of Costa del Burslem real estate for their next money spinner. That's my hols next year chosen then.
