    Chancing amateur gets greedy and blows his chance.

    Sounds believable sadly, tbh.

    Hope that's 100% wrang of course.

    It's just too believable. Donald is an opportunist, after all.

    Wasn't it valued @ £40m when he bought it?

    The Sun saying he wants £50m plus £15m if we get to Championship and then another £25m if we get to the Premier League. No wonder they've told him to stick it, it'll be their money that gets us there.

    it was but you could argue the club had better assets in terms of players. It could also be argued he did not pay for his share using all of his own moolar.

    On the flip side of this the seats are new and the club is almost self sustaining

    Yup, all good points, but the valuation is the valuation, irrespective of how it's paid, and if it's £40m let's hope someone wants to pay it and invest heavily

    If it’s not true I’d imagine Donald will be suing Nixon for libel.
    If it is true, I would agree with you that it is a ridiculous demand and would turn the fans against Donald pretty quickly.

    Nixon said the takeover on Tuesday was off, now he’s saying it’s ongoing.

    Very likely, but that article is leaving no wiggle room for Nixon. It categorically states that Donald is asking for these promotion bonuses not even saying it is alleged.
    If it is bullshit Nixon is leaving himself wide open to being sued.

    It may be true and if FPP really want the club, they could be using Nixon to ramp the pressure up on Donald.

    It absolutely was, I was there. SD was very pleasant, relaxed and seemed confident.

    However accurate these claims are it appears the Americans are rock steady while Donald is all over the place.

    The more he says the less I trust him tbh.

    His self belief in talking his way out of things may well be his downfall ...

    ... he's boxing himself into a corner with words.

    Perhaps he really was Kildare!

    Are the Americans now calling his bluff? They've got the big stack of chips in all of this!

    As far as I can see SD has said next to nothing publicly and it's Nixon who's all over the place.
