The club received legal advice from 2 sources on what the legal issues were with implementing the contract. Its all on www.fcacontract.com. A summary: The resulting advice was that (A) either that signing the contract would require the amendment of the clubs constitution on a line by line basis in where there was a conflict between the two, or (B) that by adding clause 2a to the constitution, whereby the Ferrari agreement would be given precedence over the clubs constitution if there was a conflict between the two, avoided the cost and effort of changing the constitution on a line by line basis. (A) is quite specific and required more work (& cost) to implement but limits the extent the Ferrari agreement impacts on the club's constitution to only those amendments voted on and agreed to by the members. (B) is much simpler to implement but more far reaching, because there is no limitation to the priority of the Ferrari agreement over the clubs constitution. Simply by changing the owners club agreement (which the Ferrari contract refers to), Ferrari are able to override any element of the club's constitution because their agreement has complete precedence The committee voted to put option 'B" to the members, that's what you are voting on. The club did not ask the lawyers the question: Is this a good agreement to sign? M
