    very impressive ambitions there, I wonder if the likes of MSD etc., can forsee an entirely restructured English league set-up somewhere down the line, which may be accelerated due to Covid and its long term effects. Imagine if some of our more fragile Championship clubs were to collapse and fold, and the current L1 and L2 become regionalised or part-time concerns. If survival of the fittest leads to a PL 1 and PL2 set-up, with clubs only being admitted if they have the facilities and academies to sustain their growth, could that be a fast track for a club like SAFC into the elite divisions? If, as you say, MSD and others are here to 'takeover' the entire EFL, could this be a reason for GF to get in on the ground floor by owning an established club with bags of potential? He would certainly have an idea of the ambitions of MSD etc. Just a thought.

    It wouldn't take much positive news to makes shares/investments go through the roof, if vaccines were release to the GP, indicating the return to something approaching normality in the short to medium term.

    I am derailing this thread again.

    Is Bojo saying I can take my girlfriend for a pint but I cannot go to her house and slam her love palace with my purple headed battering ram?

    You sound very well informed, as you appear to have been throughout this saga, keep it coming whenever you can.

    Not so much a desperate gamble, more likely he saw it as a chance to impress the fans. That worked about as much as the rest of football expertise.

    That should completely stop these posts about 'why would anyone buy a football club at the moment' ...

    ... but we all know people will just keep posting it because it's what they desperately want to believe.

    I really don't get the mindset of people like that. Continually hoping for failure says a lot about the individuals concerned.

    In all honesty I don't believe it's a mindset.

    I don't think they really believe what they're saying, it's just an attempt to bring down people who are happier than them.

    It doesn't bother me but it's quite pathetic.

    there lad always been negativity around us as a club. I’m really hopeful this takeovers happens and we can get a massive blast of positivity through the club. Getting the fans back pulling in the same direction with the club will be crucial.
