    Ah right, yeah that makes sense. Hoping for Stendel, but will be ok with Pearson. Although we need to get it done soon, big game at the weekend, get the appointment done ASAP.

    Sure someone on Thursday/Friday was saying he was going to produce a lengthy statement into our finances since Donald took over

    This. For starters we weren't due to receive £45 m parachute payment for a year (in fact I don't think the last 2 payments combined come to £45m). Then there's the fact that there's never been anything concrete come out about why the Campbell takeover failed, don't think there's ever been any suggestion of Donald moving the goal posts. In fact it seemed to cool once it was noticed that the bloke had next to no money, he'd hardly have pushed us to the next level so was hardly worth Donald bringing him in. That's not confirmed either, but he's meant to be buying falkirk and still doesn't seem to have got that over the line so I can believe that more than "Donald changed the asking price".

    It’s just a rehash of old news that someone has manipulated and added their own bullshit to.

    The money went to Short, we all know this. No doubt a bunch of ****ers will start spreading it a gospel, further fracturing the relationship with the club and further reducing the likelihood of investment.

    Yeah, sure, the EFL approved him as he said ‘yeah now I magically had it’. Did they ****.

    It’s not even especially well thought out but the knuckle draggers will lap it up.

    Could have put all that in one paragraph instead of explaining the same thing in different ways.

    Some of the fan pages on Facebook are an absolute disgrace and getting worse and worse.

    If you question them with any level of intelligence they will not respond, if you’re a) thick or b) agree with their bullshit they will respond.

    I’ve ended up with top fan badges on numerous (which I don’t display as I’d be shamed to do so), for calling them out.

    Never once have they engaged. Any of them.

    Very unhealthy and factually incorrect obsession with SD
    Deserves its own thread on RTG where it will be lapped up.

    They will never respond to reason mate. Never.

    They are actually harming the club and they don’t realise it. They will post any old **** for engagement, the opposite of ‘fan pages’.

    It sounded to me at the time that as you say, we pulled the plug on the Campbell deal. Donald came out and then said we have other parties interested he was very excited about. I'm sure that's where he dropped the "People think we're Dell boys" little joke/comment, tat people later picked up on.
    We also know we had to deal with other issues which Donald has already explained, like the additional Alveraz case we lost. The paying off of Kone, Catts, Oviedo,Rodwell etc etc That money came from somewhere (ie Donald)

    Has it been posted yet? I haven't seen it but chances are it will be deleted even though it's someone saying something somewhere else.

    Ask yourself this.

    Donald has no money. The club is currently close to debt free. Alvarez cost around £9million, and the wage bill was a shade under £20 million if I recall correctly.

    Did those bills pay themselves while Donald was doing his best Somali pirate impression?

    It’s very easy to account for the clubs money. Unless you don’t wanna look of course and wanna cause ****e for likes.
