He has 3 rough options at a £35m price point:
1) Ask for £35m and use £20m of the asking price to pay £20m to the club that he borrowed but is not legally obliged to pay back now - this is the best option for SAFC
2) Ask for £35m and keep it all, the debt is literally wiped and we never see it again, Donald makes a rough profit of around £20m - this is the worst option for us
3) Ask for £15m with the £20m being wiped and never seen again, but new owners in place.
I still don't know how I feel about the last option. It relies on the next owner wanting to put £20m into us over the next few years to just be back to where we could have been, and as much as I believe anyone taking us on would want to do that, Donald has taught us that it's not to assume that a new owner will have either the means or the desire to pump £20m into us.
That said, if it means getting rid of Donald, I suspect most people would accept that trade-off.

simple solution, refuse to play then the other team is awarded a 3-0 win, both team refuse then its zero points for both and deduct 3 goals. This would stop the teams ‘Declaring’ to benefit themselves.
If the NHS and Care Home staff behaved as badly as football clubs, the death from Covid19 would be a big multiple of what it is now.
I've got a feeling that the hold up in any sale is the fact that the only option Donald is willing to consider is your hypothetical option 2
Boils my piss that these clowns can potentially make a profit for leaving us in a worse.position, I'd love to see them walk away losing personally.
Season card fiasco should hopefully kill these ****s off
I’m astounded how any businessman can come to the conclusions they have set out.
Full price for a dodgy tv stream, I get I follow on my IPTV for £60 a year.(shout me if anyone wants a trial)
They literally just don’t care
I'm pretty confused today, why would the club think this is a great idea... Surely they want people to commit to season cards not push them away... Just another nail in the SD coffin for me.. He can't ride this out much longer
So they want us all to pay twice the price for something we can get for half the price now via SAFCSEE or for a 10th of the cost if we used a snidey channel and that's repaying my loyalty? Plus, if I renew the 3 cards in the house I am getting that same level of loyalty repaid 3 times over! Looks like I'll cancel for the 1st time in 23 years and just have my seat frozen.
They know the cost of everything but the value of nowt.
CM super PR man - FML!

I’ve never seen such a badly organised and ill thought out decision.
absolute tinpot, Rodwell will get his arse handed to him for that, lost the club thousands by releasing that.

it was apparent during the STID 2 series the clubs decision making is well below standard from Donald with his farcical negotiations with Wigan for Grigg (despite Ross not being arsed about signing him), also his general ability to work under genuine pressure..... and then Methven. Where to start on Methven. This guy was supposed to be some kind of marketing genius. I am lucky enough to have worked in commercial departments for some very large companies in various countries and witnessed first hand, some of the very best Marketing Directors...Methven wouldn't last 2 minutes in these organisations, an out and out bulls4itter of the highest order. Its scary that these morons run our clubs

Yeah, quite possible. It's at the point where nothing would surprise me anymore.
I would predict if he did do that he would never leave his house again with out constantly looking over his shoulder I don’t believe any amount of money is worth that.
The more I think about this the more pissed off I get. We need these chancers out of this club. Donald, Methven, Sartori, Hill, Coton, the lot.
They literally could not have possibly made things worse today if they tried.
I’ll not be renewing for the 1st time since 1995.

I'm not saying the Echo know owt but i was a bit concerned that it said due diligence had not been started by either group when we know FPP have already undertaken this before. I pray it's them that threw me off thinking they could be one of the supposed 2 groups a bit
