    Which you know you won't get.

    If anyone had details they'd either post them or withhold them, depending on their persuasion.

    I'd say you are the cuckoo on this thread mind.
    And free speech...not when you are hiding.

    You can tell we're too big for League One, we have not one but two conspiracy theorists jaywalking along Libel Approach who are definitely not the same person :1980_boogie_down:

    I can trace to his first ever podcast with RR on his first day. Said then he could fund L1, any further and he'd need investment.
    Conspiracy theorists...knock ya sell oot!

    For reasons known only to themselves there have been some desperate for SD to fail from day one.
    Has he made mistakes, most probably, and it’s fine if people question his mistakes and he’d probably admit them himself. But I’ve no idea why some have a negative attitude from the start.
    With some he was never given a chance and it seems that now, for those, it’s open season

    I do think some of it is because the other investors with ex players involved has clouded judgements.

    Im really struggling with how anyone can not be pleased these Americans are on board

    Totally agree, and can’t help wondering if those ex players would have attracted the new investment

    I have never criticised the owners of our club. Basically because I am not clever enough to see what is going on.
    There are allegations that S D has taken money out of the club, these allegations have never been explained by the owners.
    They should have been.
    The owners need to tell the fans what is going on . They are being accused of doing wrong and are not denying it.
    Until they do speak out there will be fans who will not trust them and will bad mouth them.

    It has been explained but some still won't have it.

    The trouble is, they have explained their actions several times. Everything they say has and is analysed over and over and referenced back to things said over a year ago.

    Other owners don't give interviews or attend fan functions and you can see why

    I think SD has tried to explain it. I think some will still seek to criticise whatever they say
