    Imagine one poster taking up so much space

    So no proof he was trying to get them to buy us then?

    You mentioned 18-24mnths .You posted that he could repay the loan after 18-24 mnths - which seems very short term in that he'd be expecting to finance the club improving and generate £10m on top of that.

    Is it a fact of the loan that if he doesn't pay it back by 18-24mnths they get a relative share of the club. Seems like some more hard negotiating to be done at that point if you're suggesting 20% which would value the club at £45m on a £9m loan.

    I was fuming that he mentioned how people moan about queues when things are going **** on the pitch. I've been moaning continually about the bloody queues for years regardless of performance!

    Aye, made me chuckle TBF, he must be walking around with blinkers on. The more I hear, the more it seems to be like an Arthur Daley affair, just hope we can keep doing things on the pitch. This league is fking horrid.

    Is this an Ashley sale... just said to placate fans, although no real intention to sell

    I rather the owner/manager concentrated on bringing a few better players in whilst winnowing the chaff out..

    Simon Jordan has offered his sixpenneth.
    In summary he says
    Donald did not have requisite experience to run our club, and
    He used other people's money to take us over.
    When the likes of Jordan sticks his oar in and calls you a chancer you really have hit rock bottom. Narcissists at 10 places.

    Very interesting - but seems it was Donald vs liquidation - God help us who he sells us to - shame Dell never did the business

    Any links to what Jordan has said?

    He's a grade A ****er, but is probably fairly qualified to give an opinion on this subject.

    As far as I'm concerned FPP would be the most likely tbh.

    They wanted the club and now have money invested.

    They may become more interested if the price comes closer to their valuation.

    Let's be honest the club isn't worth any more than what Donald paid, if that.

    I'd put the chances of majority ownership by June at:

    Donald 85%
    Campbell or whoever his summer bidder was: 10%
    Another bidder: 4.99%
    FPP: 0.01%

    Not sure what part of 'they don't want a majority stake' that you don't understand. The price is likely not the fundamental issue based on what Donald said, and given that everything we know has actually happened supports that version, maybe it's time to accept they don't want to buy us outright? Even if you gave them it for nowt, if they don't want to be majority owners, it would be worse than Donald for us if they were learning with an asset they didn't intend to buy outright.

    Donald staying on might sneakily be the best option if you want to ever see FPP near the rudder. They'd be on course for the minority ownership they want, have 18 months + to get to know what English football club ownership is actually like, and have the option to come on board more for a Championship rebuild if we got there.

    You've gone from calling out Donald as a complete and utter liar to quoting him as fact

    I simply choose to take everything he says with a pinch of salt.

    I think FPP might well get the club by default.
