In my opinion the technicalities are irrelevant for most people mate.

Donald stays = investment

Donald goes = takeover

Donald & Methven go = total takeover

<party>

Arguably if Madrox still own the club after any changes happen there has been no takeover at all.

Not my view but I can imagine some people spinning that line if and when anything does happen!
 
OK, I've seen enough of shyte like this on RTG, can't answer so break out the smilies and sarcasm.

I'll just ignore you as you've obviously come here to start arguments and disrupt the place.
Well as much as I have a lot of time for you it's you that's started this back and forth in a bit confused I have to be honest, maybe my intention of actually being humble enough to reference my source of information has come across to you as an attempt to steal some limelight from others, I can assure you that's not the case, I'm happy to let this be water inner the bridge but it would be a mistake to think this is me rolling onto my belly so you can rub it.

I'm sure we can just forget about it and move in if you're in agreement.

You could claim we're never taken over because we'll always be SAFC ...

... just with various current names above the door.

I saw it this way, shares being pumped in and transferred inside the parent company, therefore not a takeover, but as Smug said, we can believe it to be a takeover if the board has shifted essentially

I don't give a shiny shyte about 'limelight', I post what I hear for the good of the supporters I know and love.

I'll just avoid getting into an endless litany of semantics with you, no offence I assure you.

The problem I have with Bob is that he's so vague that whatever information he's giving is completely pointless. I mean, let's just say that this is a huge deal for the club with Sartori and Fuhrman taking shares, all Bob was doing was saying "there's no takeover", or replying "what takeover" to people when they mentioned it. You'd think he'd be able to convey a bit of excitement /positivity about it. Instead you'd think it was absolutely nowt.

Far too often it's one line posts that no one could decipher, followed by loads of "aye, he's PMd me". Always reads like a clique whose members want everyone to know that they've heard something but without actually sharing it in a way that makes sense. Contrast it to smug, prehab and rubberface; regardless of whether you believe their information, at least they give decent detail about it so you know whether it's likely to be looking positive and in some cases can guess at the names involved. Let's just hope something positive happens like, we're well overdue some good news!

It would seem strange for them to be so bogged down in saying it isn't a takeover if there was going to be such major changes mind. I mean, Short just bought Drumaville didn't he? Never heard anyone even suggest that he hadn't actually completed a takeover! If Donald goes, and especially if someone likes Fuhrman comes in, then any reasonable person would always have called it a takeover!

I guess it may be to keep it under the radar rn? or to maybe not have the **** thrown at them if it falls through like last time? then it isn't a failed takeover. Its just rhetoric thrown around. Meaningless really. all we want to know is who has what %

If somebody else owns Madrox, which owns SAFC, then it’s a takeover of the holding company and therefore a takeover of the club, surely?

Even if it’s Satori, if he becomes the major shareholder of Madrox, then that’s a takeover, as the controlling interest has changed.

If someone buys the majority of a business and therefore control of the business, that’s a takeover whichever way you carve it up.

Some people will argue, to the death, that there's been no takeover because they'd hate to have been wrong.

If I'm totally wrong but it works out best for our supporters I'll be dancing in the street.

I never post a thing for my own ego, I have better things to do in all honesty.

And what their long-term plans are for the club
 
It was me that posted what bob had passed on to me, I can absolutely confirm that he knows pretty much everything that's going on at the club currently, I've been on the SMB for over 10 years as well and it was only a few months ago I was publicly calling Bob out as being full of ****, anyway we have since spoken over the phone and I now know he is "itk" fair enough he talks in riddles like lol but absolutely no one should doubt where he gets his information from.

He basically asked me to pass the message on about it not being a full takeover, from what I know there's plenty of people would argue that point with him since the figurehead of the club is going to be leaving most fans will see it as a takeover, either way that's just definitions.

I'm hoping that by the end of this week we should know one way or another if it's going to happen.
Bang on
