    That's a very succinct way of explaining, cheers. No one could ever read that the wrong way, or could they..............?

    It's early and my brain isn't awake, but what does this mean, @Prehab26 ?

    What has he done so far to convince you that he is so keen on the club?
    Since jumping around in the South Stand a couple of years ago he’s sat in the background whilst Methven and Donald (who will remain part owners) run the club

    People also need to shake this idea that Rodwell, Methven, Donald and Sartori continued involvement means failure guaranteed. Let’s say worst case, that the sceptics are right and KLD will have no say, just provide the cash and let Rodwell and Methven run the show.

    They ALL want us in the premier league as quickly as possible. They’re not hear to make sure we fail, which would be wasting their time and financial investment (no matter how small).

    Before they had no money to get us there, so had to either make decisions themselves or hire cheap people to make decisions for them.

    Now there is money and they can hire experienced and dedicated people to make those decisions. And it’s not their money they’d now be spending - so they’re less likely to be frugle of it.

    How about buying more shares in the club, getting Dreyfus involved and trying to move the club further on.

    so far? Launch a takeover with a billionaire to buy the club.

    that’s pretty solid evidence. Your evidence is there’s no evidence and I’ve just provided you with some evidence.

    So now tell me, what’s your evidence he doesn’t want this club to be successful? (A success that would bring him millions of quid)

    Hell no, and that’s not even thinking about one of his businesses going bankrupt

    If somebody has been at the academy overnight and it’s moving positively then I’d be shocked if we don’t hear a leak in the next few hours.

    It’s a military term. Stand by your bed is a refrain of Senior NCOs to let the other ranks know that a room inspection is imminent and to stand to attention by your bed whilst a senior officer inspects.
    In short, something is happening very soon and don’t relax.

    I don’t doubt that he wants success in some form, as you say it’d make him money. He has so far sat as part of a group which has overseen the club reach the lowest point in its history. Lots of fans are becoming disillusioned and the rate at which that is happening is alarming

    Well if he wasn't interested in the club, would he go out of his way to increase his stake and be part of a consortium to take a controlling interest. Now I don't know about you, if it was me and I wasn't interested, I wouldn't be spending more money than I had to

    I know mate. It was a poor attempt at humour at 1 in the morning. I'm much better now.

    Not true, for once the club and new owners have stuck to the guns, Poyet is probably the only real ‘big’ name manger we could get at the moment sadly we are in league 1 mate at this moment all the names are the best we could hope for, that’s why I was hoping to try and just get through this season with Parkinson but he ****ed it

    he can’t be guilty by association. And even then, as I’ve said, neither Donald or Methven are some evil entity trying to make us fail. They’ve failed because they’re crap at it and have no money to make things better.

    If I was going to build a house and had no money it would take me ages and I’d do a **** job. My supporters (wife and kids) are growing disillusioned and saying I don’t want what is best for my family and I’m just a chancer.

    Suddenly a billionaire gives me some cash and I’ve hired an architect and proper tradespeople to build the house for me. My family are now happy and I sell the house for loads more than I paid those architects and tradespeople for building it. Everyone happy.

    You'd think people with money could afford a hotel rather than dossing down at the academy overnight!

    It's like the office worker who claims she was 'touched inappropriately' ....

    ... sounds serious, raises eyebrows and suspicion but can't be proved or disproved.

    Sometimes it's nothing more than sad attention seeking.
