Interesting to see this post from Rhian Cleverly Check out Rhian's twitter feed to see a beautifully worded assessment of the Mercury 13 proposal. This well respected and fine lady is probably better positioned than any of us to understand the impact.

Cant help wondering why Rhian waited until hundreds of people have already voted to post this ?

Maybe because she genuinely wants this investment so that Lewes Women's Team can compete with bigger clubs and she doesn't want to risk saying nothing at all. I hope she gets that Yes that they all hope for. But, it's up to the fans to decide and evryone has had their chance to put across their arguments. If it is a Yes - and I hope it is - then it's still a fan owned club.

The sad fact is that if the investment goes ahead she is unlikely too be captain and half the team will go with the enviable improvement mercury 13 will want. This season so far proves it will have too happen.

With all the arguments for and against would I give 51% of my assets to mercury 13 based on their portfolio to date.....NO I would not!

Based on the fact that Mercury13 wish to invest £5.1 M for 51% - does this then equate to a value for the womens team at £10M? I think not. If something is too good to be true it most probably is. I would suggest a NO verdict would be the sensible result.

If it is a Yes - and I hope it is - then it's still a fan owned club. I cant see that but it doesnt explain why she waited until probably 100s of owners had already voted. Obviously it isnt a fan owned club if Mercury13 own the women which they will do with a 51% controlling share. Unless you dont believe the women are part of the club.

She's available on X (twitter). That would make more sense than generating doubt/confusion/rumor here in the Forum.
