S.A.F.C. - the future

From what I’ve been told, its always been Donald selling his shares and sartori staying on

 

It's only Donald's position that interests me, the others are basically irrelevant.

I've been told he wants out but is pretending he doesn't ...

... it's not a great pretence tbh.

 

Afternoon all. Been grafting all week and haven't a chance to keep up with the goings on, anything new to report would be appreciated

 

I can see your arguement. However, they have put a lot of effort and time in, certainly in the early days, and of course you can argue the merits of that time.

Like I said I dont mind them taking a small profit but if they are holding the club to ransom and demanding silly money that is holding up any possible takeoover I dont think that is on. We need to be clear about the Club's parachute money too and that should be factored into any deal if it is sitting in a bank account somewhere.

 

Whatever info Rodwell is passing on is likely to be irrelevant and second hand. No reason for him to be involved at all. As for CM wouldn't believe a word he says.

Like you say Donald position is the only thing that matters. Starting to worry that he has cocked it up again. He has form.
He f****d over the original Spanish consortium to buy the club on his own when he didn't really have any funds to take us forward.
He pissed off FPP last year.
Really hope he hasn't done it again.

Only ongoing good sign is that Donald seems to be having nothing more to do with the running of the club.
He hasn't been around for ages (apart from the Oxford match away) but more to the point neither has Fox who has always been Donalds hands on accomplice.
All signs he's on his way. Just hope someone like Storey doesn't turn his head with another get rich quick scheme.

 

He is now saying there’s no takeover, he must be ****ing dizzy that bloke

 

From reading his posts I think he definitely has contacts and knows people.
However his problem is he loves the attention and the name dropping
and can't understand why everyone else isn't really impressed.
To the point where he doesn't even question what he's being told.
He ends up posting loads of contradictory stuff and often stuff that is just wrong and illogical
Which people rightly pick apart.
Then he gets upset and starts abusing people

Completely cyclical been going on since the German takeover and probably before.

 

His stories have changed more than today's weather

 

Putting out info shouldn't be about name dropping. It's just wanting to contribute to help other fans out. If you're in a position to do so, then it's a good thing. I know alot of people are sick so it can be nice to get clarification from time to time. I could name drop plenty. Not going to help the situation at all. It also compromises the people you namedrop.

 

There's an army of amateur detectives, on any forum, lurking around waiting to destroy someone's post, info, etc.

Bob just makes it too easy for them because of the endless contradictions.

It's obvious people are desperate for genuine info and it's poor just spouting endless rhetoric to keep your name 'in the light's',

Anyway, I'm doing just that so I'll stop

 

The thing about any profit though is that you can only really expect one if you meet one of two conditions.

Either you buy, and then significantly improve the asset you have bought by good management and wise investment. Here Donald has decimated the roots of the club. Massive damage to the academy, a much reduced squad strength and his investment approach has been chaotic and largely ineffective.

Or, you get lucky. You buy low and sell high because you have been able to buy in a buyer's market and sell in a seller's one. No luck to be had here to rescue him from the failures of his tenure. He wants to sell, so he says, and if so it is a matket profoundly in any buyer's favour.

It looks like his ego might take him down, and possibly us with it.

 

Agree with much of that but the squad is healthier now. When he took over it was old, bloated and massively expensive. He's done some decent work. I'm upset about the academy, but not much else. Used to look at our bench with Watmore, Oviedo, Grigg and wonder how we weren't running away with the league.

 

whisky is up 20 cents a bottle barstuards

 

Think big Willie's as sick as us now

 

I got a message last night was unsure to post it but, a little snippet from it

The only thing left to do is to sort out if Donald will be left with anything
.everything else is sorted and done

take it with a pinch of salt,
Don’t believe it , believe it, it’s all up to youse

 

Cheers for update mate, much appreciated

 

I personally think the board has several different offers on the table, including his after initially saying he wasn't credible. His offer is maybe the underdog and he is putting pressure on the board by putting it all over social media. Nothing else makes sense to me

 

I have no reason to disbelieve. Thanks for posting.

 

Update appreciated mate.

 

I never believe the good stuff mate, just the negative ones. By anything I presume it is a matter if he wants to retain a few shares?
