    I think the improvements will definitely be incremental. I wouldn’t be surprised to see other investors like Margurita luis-Dreyfus and the investment company that has recently invested in them (ADQ).

    lot of potential I think

    This is more gossip than info but I'd love to believe it.

    There's a growing suggestion that the KLD team are playing 'bookies' with Donald & Methven and trying to get them to 'cash out' sooner rather than later. Many people expected the pair to remain influential, attend our games and cast a shadow over the club ...

    ... but they're not even making comments in the media which lends credence to the idea that they're bound by NDAs etc.

    Just like Grigg it would give the club another handy boost if they were paid off ...

    ... I wonder if Sartori has been asked to negotiate a settlement.

    It seems to me that there is a wave of optimism surrounding the club at the moment and I have heard a few whispers regarding new board members and possible investment further down the line. In short good results followed by positive news will only increase the positivity of supporters and help increase match day attendance. As a club it is great to see us heading in the right direction and hopefully more good news is still to come.

    Methven is still attending games mind. Donald's not.

    Did anything come of that Sartori buying a Uruguayan club?

    An update on our former owners company Madrox at Companie House. Ain't got a scooby what it means? Maybe a final move.

    It's proof that the FFP loan has been repaid.

    The other stuff is just moving Madrox's registered office now that it's not the holding company for the club.

    All we need to know is that KLD is in total charge ...

    ... those who claimed Donald would be pulling the strings have gone very quiet indeed.

    Read that WMS article yesterday. What does everyone on here make of it? For me personally it’s hard to argue with and clarity would be more than welcome.

    I think the released minutes tonight, regarding the ownership issue, has cause more issues than resolving ones we had.

    WMS now tweeting "all they want is the truth"

    WTF man? What is it they think they are entitled to? Getting too big for their boots some of these podcasters

    To be fair I prefer WMS over the smelly loser podcast that is Roker Report

    Roker Report utterly embarrassed themselves. Stewart Donald coming over with his Maccy Ds to get sucked off by the podcast lads was too much for my eyes and ears to take.

    But

    Let’s not forget WMS promoted him and Charlie too. Things changed, the Chuckle Brothers sidelined but WMS couldn’t let it lie.

    WMS have been negative about KLD, negative about the data led approach, negative about Johnson, negative about signings and have now decided to trot out Chris Weatherspoon, a bloke who has a lasting grudge against Stewart Donald, to stir up negativity and doubt in the fanbase.

    The thought that a non league owner who couldn’t even buy Oxford could pull KLD, his lawyers and his family’s pants down is ridiculous and they know it.

    Yes, but let's not forget.


    Roker Report are diddlers of the highest order.
