    Posted on here so must be true. Charlie also said in one of his last quotes that both he and Donald would be hiding their head in their hands on something to that effect as they would not come across in a good light

    Theoretically they could do whatever is in their loan agreement, but that's unlikely to include an immediate repayment except in extreme circumstances.

    I know people love the idea of FPP acting as a sort of mafioso type of enforcer, or somehow 'tricking' Donald into a position, but I think that's a gross mis-characterisation of them and their agreement. These are some of the world's biggest investors, and 'tricking' people or acting in a hostile manner, or even just being perceived as not acting in good faith when investing or loaning money is a very bad look and about as counter-productive an action as they could take for their business.

    I'd be willing to bet everything I own (and to some degree, I have in the past) on them acting in good faith and wanting this to be successful. They won't be acting capriciously, particularly on a target comparatively low on their scale of investments.

    Apologies if that the case.
    I remember your thread about it on here but I thought it was already in press before that.

    No, it wasn't ...

    ... nor was my post that Ross was going to be sacked.

    Maybe. And if Donald started too push

    for a fat bonus and salary could that be the final straw?

    If anyone's going to buy in they should do it sharpish. We're creeping into promotion contention and that's going to push the price up plenty...

    Or what if they foolishly discuss it on the new Netflix and let the cat out of the bag... discuss the club's worth and who they could offload it to? Reminds me of a line from Only Fools and Horses, who'd be stupid to pay 40m for this....

    And as. Hopefully our run continues Donald gets more bullish...and they say sod this. Then if we dont get promotion hes stuffed again and the fans will kick off big time for losing the deal.

    I have an awful feeling I will be on Netflix. I had a word with SD outside Wembley and the cameras and lights were on us. He then recounted my words at the Consett talk in.

    I asked him if the manager realised that we had to score more goals than the oppo to win matches.
    I also told him I had been to Wembley 8 times and lost everytime.
