    It looks as though the takeover is of from what we see in front of us .Ross gone confirms that .

    Donald on about investment ;he’s probs hoping it comes from someone else .

    Or maybe at said talk in he was allowed to refer to it as a takeover, whilst in the full public eye can only refer to it as investment? Always more than one way to look at things, I guess.

    Let's face it, even if the takeover fails, replacing the hapless Ross with a half-decent manager will put us in a much better position than we are currently.

    He’s cocked up on his own statements as well. He said a price had been agreed then says they hadn’t even valued the academy side.

    So a group of billionaires agreed to pay a price for something without having one of the biggest future revenue streams valued? Unlikely.

    Makes sense him using the word investment instead of takover. Would Donald really see it as a takeover, when he is hopeful of continuing in some role with the club and retaining shares in it?

    Ross wasnt as bad as everyone made out though. It'll be tough to attract a good manager. Hope we do though.

    Things are never dull or simple with this club, saying it’s an emotional rollercoaster is an understatement

    Looks the total opposite to me ,it tells me that dell and co are no longer negotiating and Donald seeks investment from elsewhere

    Same here mate.

    This is all madder by each mad day. I'm being told now that it'll be investment at first, Allardyce in and a takeover when we reach the PL. They want SD to do all the donkey work then put their own people in later rather than sooner. I suppose, why would anyone want to trudge around Fleetwood and Accrington tbh. An investment of a few million would be all it takes to sack Ross, bring in someone capable and get us promoted.

    This info was from a mate BTW, no one connected but he's had times when he's been right.

    If Donald keeps control it will be Keane to appease the fans without a doubt.
