    It's been a massive relief after being told, in the 1980's, Fuhrman was buying the club mate ...


    ... I need a drink and Mrs Smug has gone to bed, could get messy <party>

    I am also delighted that Donald isn't stripping the cupboards bare again. However, some could say he's played a blinder. Got the club using the clubs money ( allegedly) now he's going to be able to get his big payday by basically doing fcuk all.

    No, it’s based on not liking Boris Johnson or being a huge fan of non achiever Lee.

    I’ve defended our fans 100% but the way some are going on about this makes me realise why we get some stick. Embarrassing the way people are going on, We are a league 1 side if we like it or not. The fact that it seems like we are putting a structure in place is good, plus the big investment that is going in to it and the academy should make us happy. If people honestly think it’s Donald doing this they need to seriously have a word with them selves.

    They did NOT want to come on the terms of SAFC and the new structure, accept it and do what the club did - move on !!!

    That's pretty clear to be fair mate.

    It's noted but please log back on and let everyone know if the situation ever changes.

    In the meantime take care and have a Happy Christmas <party>

    I agree, something doesn't add up with regards the timings. Poyet "drops" out BEFORE Speakman is announced, who has said that he has been given the responsibility of choosing the new head coach/manager!
    Could it be that Poyet was told that Speakman was their choice for SpD and didn't fancy working for him, so decided he wasn't interested in the job? All other scenarios don't make sense.

    Who owns Madrox now?
    Yes I know the takeover hasn't been announced but ask yourself this

    1. Who paid to sack Parkinson
    2. Who put the money up to pay for the new academy manager and technical director
    3. Given the relentless cost cutting since SD was appointed what could possibly have changed

    I am more than hopeful that we have been taken over and that we have something to look forward to. What that will be is yet to be established but it might just be fun to find out.

    I'm wondering who Johnson will bring in as his coaching staff? His previous coaching staff are still in charge at Bristol City and dunno who he had with him prior to them (did he even have a previous club?). We also don't have anyone here do we apart from Taylor?

    All of this happens behind the scenes mate. They will know what was in the pipeline and off the record discussions will have been had

    Those Pearson interviews with the press on youtube when he was at Leicester, a thing of beauty to watch.
