While it's a very headline grabbing little article, what SD says, if the new fella and JS were not willing to take us on, would lead us into the path of FPP,

Then it would be up to them what happened.

Not one for bumping my own posts, but it is purely coincidence that I posted this and the FPP "update" coming out.

I am not ITK! :emoticon-0108-speec

I am lost off with this bailout. If we take it we are put under a transfer embargo?

Yep. We're basically saying we're skint, giz a lend, then wasting the money. EFL wouldn't be letting anyone buy players.Begs question, if we're asking for 300k , just how far away is a billionaire takeover?

Not really. Clubs can't plead poverty and administration then go out and spend 500k in January.

We should definitely not take the extra and get busy in January if you ask me but it not my money and I'm not the ones losing a million a month.

So can I just ask about this bailout, is it a case of Donald being over dramatic to get a bigger slice of it and the transfer embargo being attached to it just what the EFL has offered the club?

I’ve thought long and hard about posting this because I didn’t want to be seen as having a bite.

As someone else said, it’s military humour. The fact that I’ve served in the armed forces gives me and others that have served that sense of humour. And honestly, unless you’ve served in the armed forces you really wouldn’t understand it. Call it a coping mechanism.

I can’t see how in any way I have belittled your dad or of what he was or what he did. I said it earlier that he was clearly a very brave man along with all the others.

Not that I knew him but I’ll bet a years wages he would’ve taken my comments in the humour that it obviously is.

But I agree with you on your last comment. FTM and Merry Christmas.

Don't stress and I take your point about inter service banter.
Stay safe.

To be fair mate there are no positives. It sounds very much in the balance . I think it’s going to be a case of cross your fingers and hope for the best. No disrespect to any of the ITK’s on here who all come across as good people and they no doubt share what they are told from their contacts but they said the takeover was done with the Americans - it wasn’t, they said poyet was done- it wasn’t and we’ve heard for about a month now this takeover is done but clearly it isn’t. Things can obviously change at the very last minute as seems to have happened with the Americans and poyet and this sounds like it could be similar. Some people like to think Donald, methven etc aren’t a problem no longer but they are.

According to Rodwell there is no problem with the takeover, they have had contaxt with efl but its a complicated deal so takes time. Think he will know more than the rumours from people like nixon

I can’t see the EFL awarding us the grant whilst sinultaneously discussing a takeover with a billionaire with us.

In order to get the grant you have to PROVE you will likely go bust without it. Which is going to be a difficult spin right now.

So frankly here’s hoping this is all a red herring.

How could they withhold money when there is no definitive news on a takeover?

As I undestand it , it is as scootsie has said, in 3 parts. 1 £350k which all League One clubs get. 2. A grant calculated from lost income of having no crowds and 3. An interest free loan to be applied for by clubs in difficulties. It is only the 3rd one which has the transfer embargo. The argument being made by SAFC is to maximise the grant i.e element 2 which doesn't have the transfer embargo if my reading of JR's statement is right.

We arent asking for 300k, clubs get 375k anyway fron the bailout. Why would theybturn that down, it covers some of the gate losses. You only get a transfer embargo if you take the extra grant available

Nail on the head!!!

I'll never underestimate Donald's ability to completely **** things up!

Cheers Interesting it’s just Nixon. He’s been way off the pace with takeover news lots of speculation Not convinced he’s in the loop but time will tell. Would certainly be excellent if KFD could take a bigger cut

he’s been saying it’s Sartori and his mates and not FPP throughout, whilst this forum was adamant it was Fuhrman, he was saying it wasn’t.

he’s also been saying the last couple of weeks that it’s not as advanced as some think because American money still needs sorting and there was still stuff to sort out equity-wise. Which is now turning out to be true.

So I wouldn’t say he’s been way off the pace. Quite the opposite in fact.
