when he gets 75% he can take the shares off of the stock exchange. he can decide not to pay any dividends so the shares will just be scrap paper. when he gets 90% he can force the other 10% to sell to him at 300p per share. if they don't sell they lose all value.

[/QUOTE]So basically if he controls 75% he basically owns the club, is that right? If he doesn't pay dividends, turning the remaining 25% of shares into scrap, wouldn't that lead to a revaluation of the club? Sounds kind of strange.
