S.A.F.C. - the future

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.

 

This

 

It was in reference to the board being in total control of appointment etc

 

Even though my camel brethren kindly offered their **** for free it costs too much to import. Plenty horses around Oxford way, would be a fine use of a quality local product at low cost.

 

I know this waiting is tiresome but haway, the club won't go into admin and we won't take a handout.

These are just the last petulant thrashings of Donald ...

... I'm totally bored with the bloke now.

 

No one will convince me that the appointments and Parkinson's dismissal were not a condition of sale

 

He has this takeover has been really interesting there have been no real leaks to the press. Nixon’s tweets lately about us have really just been speculation

 

Bored, I am beyond bored, I hope his bank balance is crying after this, little money grabbing bastard

 

I think the truth is that Donald wanted to hold on to shares and cash in Later for more profit or sell his remaining shares for a higher price. But as he has possibly realised that KLD 8s going to invest heavily and he will be required to invest similar for his percentage share he is having a rethink and is open to offers for his remaining shareholding as he has realised he will not be getting a free ride. Only a guess but would seem plausible

 

Looks like Chris is seeing the positives in this news today

 

yes - a lot of what’s “happened” today is exactly what people have been asking for - KLD to push for more of the club

 

Its only the extra grant that stops transfers

 

wonder where he will rock up at next after all this

 

I don’t know anything about the rules governing takeovers but, if the efl is in the process of approving a person as being a fit and proper person to take over a club with a majority shareholding, does it matter what that majority is? In other words if the applicant has agreed to own 40%, and during the test negotiates to increase that amount, why would it delay the decision on whether or not he is a fit and proper person? Pardon my ignorance.

 

A few people have told me he's already involved in a new project ...

... but nothing to do with football.

 

To be fair he's a very successful businessman for a reason

 

the mags then

 

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.

 

Worked near Fulham in the early to mid 90s and they had one at the bottom of North End Road, my ex worked even closer to it.

Hobgoblin used to knack me!

 

Chris always seems to me to be one of the most negative people going when it comes to this takeover so for him to have a positive spin on this news is a welcome surprise and for once mirror what lots of people have said on here
