S.A.F.C. - the future

Blyth_bucaneer,

"He doesn't post, he writes tedious essays."

Niall Quinn’s Dad,

"Some will say Tedious, some will see them
As informative. Just because you chose not to believe me is up to you."


He was talking about Kittens ...

... are you answering on his behalf

Thought he was talking about my replies being similar to this ‘kittens’ bloke while answering someone else’s post... my mistake, didn’t realise. But again glad you’re trying to highlight my mistakes to discredit me

 

[Blyth_bucaneer]

Exactly, as Ive said over snd over.

Not forcing anyone to believe anything I say.. could be a load of rubbish, but as I’ve said, from everything bring rubber stamped and get the cans out, we now have another deadline

I was shot down 3 weeks ago, but we’ll see what happens in another 3 weeks

I’ve never ‘stamped my feet’... just replying to posts

People can believe me if they want, so far I’ve been proved right (unfortunately as we need SD out of the club ASAP). A lot of what Smug writes is correct. I’ve been told the same things, but we disagree massively on this unfortunately

I definitely believe things are going on, I wouldn't put any timeframe on anything though, eventually Donald will fcuk off, just hope that happens sooner rather than later. I do believe Smug and prefab etc, as they live and breathe the club, like all of us really. Like I said though, an old military cliche "Hurry up and wait".

So Niall Quinn’s Dad wore feline hand coverings.

Come on, be fair, it stood out like a sore thumb.

It just looked funny, not everything is deadly serious.

Besides I can't take away your credibility ...

A man who is so desperate to hang on to the club he has moved back to Oxford full time, left the day to day running of the club to other people and has told Nick Barnes directly he hates it here and does not want to stay

I think the issue is that he does really want to **** off, doesn't want to stay, but does want to get back all the money he's spent. FPP have a valuation which will be well lower than £36m. Probably a sensible one. Will Donald be so desperate to leave that he is happy to walk away with a £10m loss or whatever? Pretty sure he said he lost a similar amount at Eastleigh. Now, he's a bit **** at running football clubs so that's the risk you take, but he's a gambler and I'm sure a part of him will be thinking that if he can just ride this out and we fluke promotion, the price is bound to rise. I hope that part of him will be overridden by the part that says "haway man just take the loss and move on" but you can never tell with Donald.

 

[Blond Bombshell]

I just hope he has enough sensible people in his life telling him to go. His missus seemed to be trying to do it even during STID2. If he stays he'll likely wreck our chances of getting back to the big time, and likely cause himself (and us) all sorts of financial issues. He seems a stubborn, gambling ****er though. I'm still anxious he'll try and roll the dice again, but we need him to step away

This is the big worry for me, as proven by the Grigg fiasco

 

[HeatonMackem]

Theres a lot of rubbish right there

never been banned before from any ‘forum’ as never been a member of one. I stick to Facebook/Twitter etc

I’ve been told my info same as Magnus/Smug there’s. I’m new here so have no track record so people can believe who they want, but I’m not offering both sides of anything. FPP/GF aren’t taking over and OB isn’t involved in any current deal. Despite them wanting to be. I can’t really be any more clear. The other side I’m putting forward is that any other info is being released under a cloud to suggest that something is happening, when at best it’s a changing of the guard, but only using the same guards in a different set up which isn’t much of a change as SD will still be in the background and his mates at front

I don’t even think that would happen as JS is too tied up in South America and hasn’t been seen for over a year... why jump back no board now. I’ve already posted what will happen in my opinion come Oct and the new ‘deadline’ date

And for the 20th time, I’m not mittens

Chris Weatherspoon then?
How do you know nothing is happening, or nothing is going to happen, before it doesn't happen?

Things are definitely moving mate and hopefully Donald with them.

I've real optimism that things are about to change for SAFC just as they have for Sheff Utd, Southampton, Wolves, etc.

We're as big as any of them and they've all been where we are.

The supporters who keep the faith will get the biggest rewards when we get back up there.

After the job he has done here if he makes 15p on the deal he should thank his lucky stars

He's not proven at anything is he? He inherited the business from his father?

I am praying that we get out of this wretched league this time around. Like many, I have wondered for years and years how small clubs have managed success, yet on our doorstep are clubs that should be pivotal in success. Hopefully the time is near.

I believe that's where most of his money came from aye (just remember GOM saying his dad sold the company that became Hastings direct or similar). That's another risk though, if people are self made they might actually value what they've earned for themselves and know when to step away and not risk it. If you've always been handed things on a plate you might find it harder to cut your losses. Plenty people saying something is happening though so I'd lean towards that being the case, I just hope Donald will agree to sign it off and not have any last minute changes of heart

 

[Essayyeffcee]

He is getting the info direct from SD

SD is conducting the whole thing. After originally saying it would be done end of Aug/start of season, the new time Frame is end of Oct...

My guess ‘the deal’ goes south, about the same time as the window shuts, official reasons not given (nothing official has been said about the takeover happening now supposedly though so that means nothing)

And the season continues, with SD scrapping through on the bones of his arse praying for promotion

How can you be so sure of this?

As @DH4 said, Stewart Donald is a man who knows the price of everything but the value of nothing.

How can Magnus/Smug be sure of what they are saying?

 

[Essayyeffcee]

Because they have quoted that people have been in touch telling them. You seem to be stating that you are actually stating facts rather than people passing things on. There's a difference mate. So - how can you be so sure?

I’ve already stated previously I’ve heard things from the club. From people who are supposedly ‘ITK’, similar to Magnus/Smeg. And similar to them I won’t be saying whoS saying what etc

I want SD to go as much as anyone, but he’s just playing everyone as he’s done from the day he walked through the door

 

[HeatonMackem]

You can't prove a negative. Which is what you're trying to say with certainty - that nothing is or will be happening.

Of course you can

I said 3 weeks ago that nothing was happening and SD would still be in charge come the first game of the season

That happened. Proved that what I said was correct

As I said I think we’ll have another month of nothing happening, window shuts and SD is still in charge

SD will have to sell the club at some point either because someone’s reached is valuation, can’t afford FPP repayments or he realises he can’t win and has to take what’s offered

He’s not there yet, as he still has some of FPP loan left and will gamble with that, especially now the clubs wage costs will are reduced

Sorry to piss on the parade but come Oct some lie will be made up to explain the fake over away or we’ll get another delay in the deadline and fans will lap it all up
