Shame that Donald has stopped attending because of the abuse, get yerself back to match Stewy lad! Looking forward to seeing the new strategies put in place as the areas of recruitment and the academy were being criticised. Good read that. KTF.
It's a disgrace that he's had to stop because of it. Some people should be ashamed by the bile and vitriol that they've spewed towards him and his family.

Aye and it shouldn't take him having to pump money into the club for people to stop giving him crap. What a bunch of babies football fans can be. Embarrassing.

I hope that now the investment has gone through he'll feel welcome again at the games but like I say it shouldn't have taken that. Can't help but feel like the relationship is soured for good now.

If what Methven says is true, and I believe it is, the guys running the club don't deserve a scrap of the criticism they've been taking.
 
I like the part in the interview where he says that if anybody has anything to ask or say, come along to the talk ins or fire questions to them on the podcasts and they can give the answers. Basically he is calling out the faceless trolls and cowards hiding behind their keyboards, good on him!

Sadly there's some who will never change their views of the owners.

Big thanks again to @Smug in Boots for shining some light when things were looking bleak. I've had a big grin since the news came out - really exciting. Feels like we can regroup and go forward now.

Sad for the the trolls and abusive messages to Smug and Donald. Cowardly, destructive and paints the supporters in a bad light. I don't know how they can be dealt with but we're not alone in that regard.
 
I have knowledge of investments, dividends and proxy voting.

My point isn't actually questioning GOM, it's questioning the statement about the ownership being unchanged by Methven/The Echo. If they have purchased preference shares, they have taken some ownership in Madrox.

Not trying to be a pedant but I thought CM's comments related to SAFC, not Madrox?

Completely agree mate.
 
The BBC are suggesting that it's a £10mil 'investment.

Useful, better than a bash in the teeth with a blunt shovel, but not a takeover.

Perhaps there's more (information or better still, investment) to come.

At Companies House there’s been a £9 million capital injection into Madrox which seems to have then been transferred to the club so it appears that it’s a loan to Madrox and repayable by them but not on the club’s books if that makes sense.

It is a disgrace, but if I had the opportunity to speak to Mr Donald and Mr Methven I would ask them to see the difference between social media and the real world.

Not scientific, but I have spoken to 6 SAFC fans in person since yesterday and everyone is of course waiting for more details, but on the whole genuinely buzzing about the news. I have just been on to RTG and its depressing with people like a post called Wallace slagging everything off. Certainly on social media it gives the village idiot the same platform as a Solomon and across the road there are certainly many mag and wums acting as SAFC fans.
