S.A.F.C. - the future

South of France in a villa with pool, work, ha hah ha ha ha ha !

 

so its the last day of August, and still no news.

Should we assume the deal has been killed off again by Donald?

 

Nope.....

 

Noo plenty of time think we all got excited and maybe just need to cool our jets and let things take there course

 

Thanks smart arse ...

... that pool has to be tested, for wetness, on a daily basis!

 

Bank Holiday weekend, there was never going to be a "last day of the month" scenario

 

Fair play to him for clearing the loan debt, but you have to ask, Did he sell to a buyer, knowing that said buyer, was going to use the clubs lifeline to finance the deal?

 

Wonder if that's why their takeover fell through

 

No.

 

Barnes did say hear at end of August at the earliest not that it all be done by then

 

I've noticed some people are claiming that 4 weeks, from start to finish, is impossible.

That's assuming Barnes spoke on day 1 of negotiations which I don't believe is the case.

Donald, as I've been told, wants out but he's just finding it difficult to let go ...

... I've been told that, from someone I trust so believe it.

Everyone else is totally free to believe whatever they wish, I'm posting what I've been told and not trying to convince anyone of anything or seeking attention so take it or leave it.

 

most of us know your just saying what you been told mate and appreciate it

unfortunately, Mr Short was found to be woefully 'short' on football business but in the 'bigger business world' he obviously has his head screwed on...the fact remains that he could easily have chosen to do another deal that would have been less of a 'hit' to his pocket, seems he was taken in again by some smooth talking chancer...the only time he really 'spent well' was in getting Bain in, although most disliked the bloke due to his cost cutting and cutbacks, that is exactly why he was hired and possibly the only one who was value for money in that respect.

have to admit that although most of us had our doubts about SD few of us ever thought we would be starting our third season in a row after our worst ever league finish, with the team we had then (still some premier players in the ranks) and i guess Short thought much the same.

hindsight is a wonderful thing that more often than not proves we make more mistakes than owt else.

 

dear lord, they are certainly getting their bobs worth out of you there.

 

I've been looking at some of his posts, all laid out to gain inflammatory response. I'd dare wager that that person is a professional internet troll.

 

Keep it coming mate. I presume that Donald’s finding things difficult because of price?

 

Cheers Smug. Welcome news.

 

Think short wanted out for sometime, linked with his sons switch of interest from safc to tennis in California or somewhere in the states. He had a couple of offers and the chancers offered him the best return. Think he knew the upcoming parachute payment was due so factored that into the sale price which became overly messy as the chancers didn't have the funds to purchase and fund the club. Still think some blame lies with short for selling to the chancers.
