The day Donald an co were confirmed as the new owners came massively out the blue..there was no leaks anywhere, I was at my sons football who played on the same team team as Lee Howeys son, I was always into Lee about any info and he was just saying that he had heard about Niall Quinn maybe coming back in....a couple of hours later our current regime were confirmed.....any announcement could come at any time

While ever there's no definitive 'sold' announcement anything can be claimed or denied.

In the meantime if someone claims 'Donald met Fuhrman face to face' some will believe it's to sign the takeover papers ...

... others will choose to believe Fuhrman's just picking up his cheque for the loan repayment.

That's all fine and provides debate and entertainment for posters.

There's no need for people to denounce anyone else or claim their interpretation is wrong.

As I said, until there's an official announcement, virtually everything is open to opinion.

It did come completely out of the blue. Announced by Donald and Short as soon as a deal was agreed.
However this was actually before it went to EFL for signing off. Suspect Donald couldn't wait to tell everyone.
Took another few weeks and EFL meetings with Donald before it was ratified.
Remember thinking at the time that they seemed like a breath of fresh air but did wonder about EFL checks as he didn't seem to have
the money behind him personally but was promising future investment.
Suppose this time depends whether EFL need to do fit and proper persons check (for what that's worth)

This post over the road made me laugh regarding Platek buying the danish club

"Donald must be taking over as chairman there then, as they were only interested in investing in him"

The lads got a point tho!

That claim looked idiotic as the words came out of his mouth, looking back they're worse.

It was also quite insulting to the club and the supporters imo.

That's the point I totally lost it with Donald.

Nothing would officially come out, but you can see from the article that there's already a good idea of who the bloke is who is buying the club. I doubt the EFL are watertight either, you'd imagine various papers would have people they'd hear whispers from. And like I say if it gets to that stage people at the club would likely be more relaxed about it and more likely to mention something . To get to that stage with no idea of who, if anyone, is buying the club seems strange. When Donald bought the club, it was officially announced by the club before the EFL test even took place.

We don't need to know about your toilet habits, but . . . . the disruptive kitten has returned to successfully disrupt, others have taken the bait and the thread's derailed again (there's no real harm done, mind, 'cos it keeps us amused whilst nothing's happening imminently) :emoticon-0105-wink:

My opinion only but think there was an element of truth in what SD said, but ego as ever muddied the communication.
I think FPP liked the potential and his vision, hence the interest, but presume confident waned with subsequent events.
