    Meh, disagreements like this break out all the time and usually fizzle out quickly, I know I've had my share it's no big deal. It's not a cliquey board, I've been on it long enough to know and I'm neither in any cliques or feel hard done by by any, probably because there aren't any.

    The one thing I would like to see packed in is accusing people of using multiple accounts, not saying it never happens but I know it'd get on my wick if I signed up to a new forum and people kept insisting I was really Arca's Taint or Dave's Missing Sheepdog or some such. I'd probably just leave.

    Plenty of us long term posters had bitchy squabbles in the past.

    Then you forget it and move on, like adult males should.

    this further 6 months for sports could be the last straw for SD...most seem of the opinion that he was relying on crowds being able to return and he has lost that as any kind of 'bargaining power' now...wonder if that is why the news 'came out' that one lot has pulled out of the deal...to let him sweat a bit.

    anyone else hearing the unmistakable squeaky bum noises?

    Thanks for posting as didnt know about this. Just reading the statement they made as it seems it was a family acquisition with his daughter also quoted as well. Hopefully we have a similar kind of moment coming.

    It might be just as worrying to buyers as well. There's a very real prospect of no fans in the ground until next season.

    I just found it interesting mate with the US investors already in the game tending to own multiple clubs.

    You’d think there’s an end game with a Danish club, whether it be loaning and developing players for a bigger asset or whatever. It’s an interesting one.

    Its intriguing why an American investor would pick SønderjyskE a club with a capacity of 10k (if Wikipedia is correct) to buy and develop. Maybe they like that part of the world as a place to spend time at, if you are super rich you can I guess make those kind of investment and lifestyle decisions.

    What do you think @Smug in Boots

    The buyers will know they'll lose money, at first, either way.

    Take it off the asking price, turn the screw on Donald.

    I’m sure that’s exactly what’s gonna happen. ‘You’re losing more money, and actually the longer it takes the less we gonna pay’

    It seems to be a family affair doesn't it and relatively low risk.

    Investments are fine but they're ultimately boring, the reason people like Short get involved.

    The fact its in Southern Jutland, which appears to be called Sønderjylland in Denmark, is canny. Maybe he's just done a Milton Nunez and bought the wrong thing. Can just imagine him now, shouting at his lawyers "I said Sunderland you stupid twats, did the alarm bells not ring when they asked you to pay in ****ing krone?"

    I'm proper laughing at this, great post sir.

    I can remember when Milton Nunez done his walk around the pitch with his sunglasses on (I think) and we were pissing ourselves laughing when we eventually worked out which one was Nunez. The word midget might have been mentioned.
