S.A.F.C. - the future

Absolutely zero chance of that happening. Less than zero. Daily Mail is a ****ing comic

 

He is the owner till he is not the owner though. So of course he will be doing stuff like this

 

cant blame the daily mail here - they’re rightly reporting the absurd comments SD is making.

 

There is literally zero chance it can happen

 

well no, not really. Rodwell could be. There are owners of clubs who go nowhere near these meetings and send chairmen etc

 

As if the club would embark on the restructuring of the last week if administration was a possibility, a quite mental piece of journalism.

 

Well ours obviously aint one

 

I wonder if Donald claims he’ll be suing the Daily Mail again.

The last attempt was so successful

 

again - not the daily mails fault here. I hate the daily mail as much as the next person but if our majority owner says it might happen they’ve got every right to report he’s said it might happen.

they’ve not said we are at risk of it - just that HE has. And he has.

 

They are reporting on supposed comments he made to other League Managers.

 

As if SD even if there was a hint of a takeover would take the club into administration and risk getting nothing as he would have no say at that point

 

obviously. That’s my problem here. He’s still invested enough to be making outrageous statements in an attempt to get a better bail out. To me, that sends alarm bells ringing when he’s supposed to be long gone and we are about to have a billionaire take over.

 

The big surprise here is the Daily Mail reported on a story without mentioning Princess Diana

 

Well aye he is still the owner

 

Too many people willing to pile in on anything that appears negative.

 

I salute you.

 

yes. And he’s sounding like an owner who’s worried enough about his bank account to make up outrageous comments like this at a meeting he really doesn’t need to be at unless he wants to be.

Rather than an owner who’s done with the club and just wants to be a silent shareholder and knows somebody with money is rolling into town next week.

Again, I am still massively in the “it’s happening” camp. But people need to stop thinking there’s either a positive or negative point of view here. It’s quite clear there have been signs this week that prompt questions that we all want answering.

 

There are, definitely. And you know I respect you. But I also think there are too many people doing the opposite, and completely ignoring anything that appears negative and dismissing people with genuine concerns.

There’s a middle ground here. And I’m still in the cautious optimism camp.

 

They are mate, but if it is rubbish, the club should say so. I mean it isn’t that long ago Charlie said we were in cracking financial shape, or words to that effect

 

Exactly. If we went into administration it would mean we couldn't pay our bills, including the FPP loan, which would basically hand them the club for nothing. Also, it's the Daily Mail. That paper has hated us for years, going back to the mid 90's. It's no surprise that they've got a negative spin on it.
