So are we still in talks with American investors or has that now ended.

As far as I, and a few other people, are concerned they're still around.

No one has any proof to the contrary which makes my opinion just as valid.

In these situations it's clear that 99.9% of people will have no direct, or even indirect, knowledge.

So the weight of opinion will be against, that's only to be expected.

To avoid further criticism I could avoid posting about it but don't see why I should.

I’m also disappointed that it seems that the Americans may not be as on board as I was hoping, based I’ll say purely on rumours on rtg posted by a few, I think, well meaning folks, and I’m disappointed that we look like getting a first division manager, although we are, let’s be honest here, an average first division club at the minute, but ffs I’m not putting a fatwah on Donald for it.

None of us know why the Americans haven’t completed. Somebody on rtg says “he’s probably wanting to retain control “, somebody else says “he seems to wants more money”, somebody else says “looks like he’s moving the goalposts”, finally somebody says “Nathan O’Brien has been pictured with him, and the Americans, he might be either commercial director or an investor “. Nobody knows the truth, only those involved, but those posts, and sadly I scribbled the just of them down a week ago, have lead to this outpouring on sd. Add to that these conspiracy dicks who now believe Donald and methven are pulling off a Bernie Madoff sized scam with their own businesses monies and hey presto, we now have an owner who rivals Mike Ashley in popularity.

And what’s he actually done that we can say hand on heart, not what we think, or worse still that somebody’s cousins best mates uncle thinks, he’s entered in to talks with a few interested investors who will inject capital at a time when its needed, he’s still talking to them, he’s dismissed a failing manager, and is trying to attract a replacement, with a limited budget for both his wages and player recruitment in January, at a club where our expectations far outweigh our ability, he managed our finances to a point where we’re not in immediate danger of doing a Bolton or a bury. Yup we should get the pitchforks out, he’s a ****ing monster.

I’m not a massive fan of the lad, he gans on like a dick trying to be the people’s champ all the time, I’d rather he acted like a millionaire, a bit aloof, and looking like he oozes money, but he doesn’t, but let’s see it as it is, if the investors walk away, well we’re no worse off than we were two months ago. If we get Parkinson, well we needed rid of Ross he couldn’t get the team playing, none of this needs be Donald’s fault, in fact it might be a plus for the club, we don’t know.
Well said.
 
Well good luck to Phil Parkinson I hope he surprises everyone and gets us up. As for the yanks well I’m with Smug. We simply have heard nothing either way definitively and the complete lack of information suggests NDA’s may still be in place. I think we simply don’t know unless you on the negotiating team.

I don't know any of the Americans, or their team, but I know someone who will greatly benefit if they become involved.

If I named his profession it would give the game away, plus he'd stop talking to me.

His last word was 'don't panic' which he's been saying for weeks.

Where there's hope .....

He does seem to think Parkinson is a good appointment,but I'm guessing he's anticipating more good news other than just that today,hence his SD rating?
I've never really been able to make my mind up about him.....as usual,we'll have to wait and see.
He will have been guided all the way by hill and coton on this.
He has banged on about references from the football world. Hill and coton are his eyes, ears and brain for matters football.
Given the shocking recruitment we have had 3 windows and the football played people expecting anything other than more of the same must still believe in santi
 
Glad the coaching staff has gan there usually half the problem

Let's see what our set pieces are like

Our throw ins & corners are ****ing woeful

Apart from the Burnley game...

2 cracking short corners ...

2 goals from them...

Doesn't mean I like them tho :)
 
On the thread about rate Donald, he's put:

10 and his stock is rising

When someone laughed at that he said:

Remember your words tomoz

Then when someone asked if he was taking the piss he said:

Read it again mate then think about it long and hard
Bed time happy days tomorrow, good night

Maybe he just ****ing loves Phil Parkinson like, but he definitely thinks something good is on the horizon. Mind after this saga I don't listen to anyone whether they seem to be itk or not! I'm guessing tomorrow will be **** and we'll appoint Parkinson! You'd have to think any good news that would reflect well on Donald would be takeover related though, unless Parkinson is a ruse and he's actually appointing Mourinho!
He wasn’t and he isn’t <ok><laugh>
