    Is there a good reason why (I'm sure there is) the club didn't just put out a brief holding statement confirming the takeover and that it would be discussed in the coming weeks. That would have put to bed a lot of the "drama" we've seen over the last week or so.

    I don't suppose they really care what fans on message boards think i know, but the whole place could use a lift!

    So they are getting out another sweeping brush after Donald already used a sweeping brush when he took over? I hope they start with how we manage the catering at the ground - they could make plenty off wet sales if they had automated machines. And if they had a good team.

    Hi mate, nice to see you.

    There's an eerie silence over the whole club, nowt coming out at all. The only lad I've heard from says people, at all levels of the club, are looking over their shoulders so much they're starting to mutate.

    The Sheepfolds thing is a major factor. It was also a major factor why SJP was discounted. The Audi garage is toast - we could do with a massive Club House style bar for fans near the stadium, maybe some interesting architecture that can be seen from other side of the river...Get some of the wind power business back on the river as well.

    To be fair neither Donald nor Methven have the experience to undertake something like this, hence the rash purchases, Alvarez case, crowd pleasing/annoying statements.

    This will be more than just Janice from the ticket office and the relief tea lady imo.

    Our corporate/hospitality/PR/sponsorship, etc all need to maximise revenue.

    Not to mention our scouting and the people in charge of contracts, etc.

    The finance officer needs to be looking at her performance and wondering what these sharp lads will think of it.
