    Another senior member of the management team left 3 weeks ago because the "takeover was going through". This was before the hurdles came up though

    Essentially, if Davison has gone, there's no one running the commercial side of the club. Which means there needs to be some new appointments. But I honestly don't know who that would be, MSD, other investors etc. Keep your fingers crossed Donald has chosen wisely

    Seems like TD is away, couple of reliables on RTG seem to think it's done.

    No idea if good or bad sign tbh

    It’s a decent point m8, the grandson, Nathan, built the recycling bit of the business up from nowt, and sold it to biffa for a canny sum, £20 odd million I seem to recall, so he could be in mind, but in terms of football knowledge I wouldn’t have seen it coming, but with our club who knows!

    Things sound positive - i figure they’ll invest once they we hit certain milestones- i also have confidence on the new management- supposed to get the teams fit and positive - i am prepared for slow gains if the strategy is solid

    Football knowledge would help, but in the commercial role is it necessary?

    IF the rumour is true I'm suprised Davison has gone as his reputation was very good when he joined and only last week he was at a major sports expo in Twickenham

    If he's gone I think it's a role for Donald tbh, not sure what else he can do

    He could be director of umms like! But other than that we don't want him near the football side, we've got a commercial and a financial person, doing fan/ community engagement isn't really a full time job for a director so if he's desperate to stay and that's been the hold up, the solution sadly might have been that Lowes or Davison had to go. As a MLF (and crucially one with a good reputation that could likely easily grab a job that pays more closer to home), he might have been the one to agree to step aside. As a director it would presumably be hard to force him out.

    This makes sense and is positive, so I'm going to believe it. Mind I've had all sorts of theories that I think sound totally plausible in my head and I don't think any have happened yet, so this is probably a load of **** as well! Knowing the way this takeover has gone Davison is probably still here and it's all bollocks!

    If I start to speculate mate, I'd be getting very excited. But we've all been there before so I think everyone should play it cool this time. Made a tit of myself ringing people to find out, not going to again.
