No for me, regardless of the finer details. I feel that we should be proud to be one of the only 100% supporter owned clubs and shouldn't be selling to anyone, let alone someone who hasn't been honest about his reasons for being involved.

Does he require 75% of membership or 75% of those who vote. Minimum of 50% members to vote. Therefore 38% of total membership. Have I read this right?

It has been my opinion for a while that for the Club to move forward it would need investment. So my immediate thoughts on this is positive. We will await further details in the coming weeks so we can all assess this properly when we have all the information

Where has he spent £1m on Chester FC? Promised money towards wages, and taken ground and main stand sponsorships but has invoices outstanding against these. Trying to takeover a club that, like many others, is on its knees and trying to battle through a pandemic lockdown. Shown his true colours I'm afraid. Made promises that he has reneged on, then tries to pick up the club for more promises. He wants the land. He wants the lease. He is a businessman. The last 4 businessmen to own us fucked us. I guess 5th times a charm? |

A VAST amount of money. Whether he is successful or not in his takeover, that alone should tell you that his motives aren't as sinister as some are suggesting. I imagine that the landscape has changed since he made his initial statements in The Chester Grosvenor - perhaps regarding the Sports Village / Covid. Let's see what he says before name calling shall we? |

Let’s take a deep breath, see what he proposes & then make an informed decision. If you’ve made a decision already in either direction then it’s uninformed. |

Your posts seem extremely emotional, that’s understandable considering what we’ve been through as a group of fans but that doesn’t mean that there’s no value in listening to what he has to say. |

Let's see what he says before name calling shall we? The £1m was to be put towards his infrastructure plans for making us financially secure. My understanding is that we haven't actually seen it. Just the 'promise' of it. It was never given to us to use, as we saw best fit. That was nearly three years ago. Haven't a lot to show for it, have we? Something stinks here for me. Been feeling that for over a year now. This is an opportune moment to get the club. Little money. Uncertain future for football. He's either a Jack Walker type figure, or he's like the others. If he's a Jack Walker, why has it taken 3 years not to get the money? Why hasn't he paid his sponsorship monies to the club? At a time when he knows we are struggling. |

Should not your question be "should CFU give Chester FC to Stuart Murphy ? "
I don't think the vendors will be receiving any money

He’s been sponsoring the club for several years, as I don’t think Exacta’s business would have boomed as a result of that sponsorship, I think to call himself a fan is pretty fair. It’s certainly not a lie. You’ve just ignored what I’ve already said on the other statement so I’ll say it again; you don’t know that’s a lie. When he said it he may well have had no intention of taking over the club. It may have been a lie but that is certainly not a fact or the end of the discussion. I’m not saying you’re wrong to be cautious, I’m saying you’re wrong to dismiss the idea out of hand without even hearing the proposal. |

I can't see him getting 75% approval The polls I've seen on Facebook paint a very different picture to the general scepticism on here. This decision is down to CFU members, the vast majority of Facebook Chester are not, part of the problem we've had is getting fans to sign up to the CFU, if they want a say on how our club is run they could sign up and become an owner of our club. The fact that we have a say in what happens in this situation is why we should never give up the fan owned model imho. People complain about not having the correct shirt selections to vote on, but here we are having a democratic say over the entire future direction of our club. |

He’d never get 75% approval so it’s a moot point. However we’ll not grow as a club and ever get back to the FL without investment and fans personally insulting any willing investors on a public forum isn’t a good look. If I was a multi millionaire wanting to invest in Chester and saw comments such as the above from Oaks Blue about me, I’d take my money elsewhere, regardless of whether I was a fan or not.

I can't see him getting 75% approval What's to stop him getting loads of his friends to join CFU and vote his way when the time comes? Should we not say "No new members until after the vote" to make sure we're not turned over by him (or anybody else at the present time) for that matter? |

Interesting that if you look at the club's Facebook posts, many of the comments that are against the buyout (including mine) have been 'liked' by Chester FC. Read into that what you will. |
