    Seems to fit with the Ross decision... If they're just investing and won't have overall control, then they probably told Donald to get shot of him unless they won't invest. Once they were on board it would be a more difficult to demand it.

    That statement suggests any investment at all is subject to promotion.

    On that basis we can all calm down a while and hope and pray they appoint Stendel and get us up.

    He didn't. Investment and investors were his words.

    why did SD say on the RR podcats weeks ago that they were close to investment and they are now saying it's not needed.

    It suggests they'll bring them in now if possible imo, but that since we wouldn't be spending anything until the championship there's no rush to do it, so it might drag on for months yet!

    I suppose if it a progressive investment it allows Nixon a get out clause ie he can claim takeover was called off . Word play.
    In terms of dripfeeding money I'd be worried about leaving donald in charge of player spending. He, hill and coton have been atrocious. I wouldnt let him near a subbuteo auction.
    Of course investment means expected returns. That could be problematic.

    The ****as should’ve said more about this knowing how supporters were getting over excited. Today’s statement is a cop out and might as well say ‘we’re no further forward we haven’t got a pot to piss in’.
    And I couldn’t give a **** if I sound like a spoilt 51 war old that been going since 1975 and had a season ticket for 30’year. Today’s update is ****.
    And I’m pissed.

    Absolutely.

    The size and scale of the club becomes a weight the longer we are out of the money leagues.

    There’s zero question of that.
