    I don’t think we have to worry that they are coming in with negative intentions to be fair.

    They want a Premier League football club. As do we.

    Don’t doubt it, but I’m sure he’s admitted to being sent some duff information along the line too.

    He's also been blocking people (including Roker Report) left, right and centre on Twitter as they are pointing out this contradicts the story he ran earlier. He's such a child. Could have had a reasoned debate and said his story was true (I personally don't believe it was) at the time but things change, instead he just blocks anyone who disagrees with him!

    He knows no more than anyone else

    Think we should just all take a deep breath before talking about statues for Donald.

    From what smug (and basically every report from any source) has said, he's made this very difficult and its come close to being off the table a number of times because of his demands. I'll be honest, I'm not 100% convinced that SD is the right man to manage the club from a football point of view, even with large amounts of cash backing him, and if he's made that a sticking point for the deal, no wonder it's ended up being more convoluted than necessary. He's done right by himself, first and foremost.

    That said, happy to give the benefit of the doubt, and as long as the club is secure, all is well.

    But but but he's trying to steal money from the club, I thought you said this?

    Donald and Methven are crimonals don't you think kittens, didn't you say?

    No, I very specifically didn't say that. Please provide a post where I said this.

    Every thing has been speculation
    And yes I believe what smug has said
    However your point on Donald has just been speculation
    Ask smug

    Agreed, but in fairness, Donald didn't deny this part of the Nixon story (and he addressed every other part) and it's now looking like this is exactly what will happen.

    All I'm saying is he's made it a point that he has to remain in charge. That's fine, but I'm just not sure it's the right thing for us as much as the right thing for him. He's never run a club in the championship, and he's not exactly made a great fist of league one with the biggest club and budget in this division for years. I hope there's plenty if scope for MSD to appoint people they're comfortable with if he isn't doing well in future.
