re: FPP making a statement - the fact they didn't even make one when they put money in, even a press release saying they were happy to be doing so, probably means it's not a given that we'd be seeing one if they ever pull out for good.

He, and I, didn't say it was a given.
He does believe they'd make a statement out of courtesy to the supporters ....
.... especially as they're intent on buying a football club.
Sartori anyone?
Be a turn-up if it was him. Not quite sure how that would work, and not sure they'd bin FPP off necessarily if it was him... he's already a shareholder in Madrox so he's one of the few people who probably would keep the current structure the same potentially.
Yeah.
They are only bit-part investors in the Marlins. There are huge cultural differences between US sports and English football. Money is helpful but if it's not spent right, it doesn't matter. The rest of it is just that, rumours. We might get someone better, we might get someone worse. I don't see what's wrong with that opinion. You don't have to be sorry if you're disappointed, that's your prerogative.
Is he even interested, he's like lord Lucan .Sartori anyone?
Please....someone take on this club and do the right thing, We have 47,000 stadium that we could fill if the right owners made the right decisions, we have a world class academy, we have the most enviable fan base...surely someone can see this or this me just being blinkered.


.Yeah I get that, I'm just saying that based on what they've done before, they haven't ever clarified that they were interested in buying us publicly, or even talked about it in any way. Making a statement confirming they're not interested in something doesn't seem to fit their style so far.
Ohhh it’s know doubt the fans will get the blameHe (and others) will blame the fans though, despite the takeover (after which he "hoped to stay on") becoming an investment then became a loan, several weeks before the protest.
If all is to be believedOne of those things was always vague and never at a point that could be announced.
The other, not buying the club, would be definitive.
So they're two entirely different things.

What Donald has said
The dickhead fans who forced him out are to blame
However I know nowt

Aye alas a spurned Charlie has informed FPP of the "Sunderland Disease"(it's well known in the game). The fans "unrealistic expectations" is directly responsible for the club anually fighting off relegation from the Premier League, the ultimate relegation that ensued, the subsequent relegation to the third tier and it's failure to achieve promotion. If only the club could rid itself of these 30-40,000 people success would be a formality.If all is to be believed

Some people no nowtI'm just laughing at Jardine on RTG mate.
He's obviously been desperately waiting for FPP to fall through so he could have a go at me ...
... he's seen this news, got himself all excited and dived in feet first
What a miserable sack of shyte the lad is ...
... openly celebrating what could be a massive blow to our club.
Hi mate, sorry I've been out all day and just catching up with my messages.
The only one, from anyone capable of commenting, is quite ambivalent.
It's a bit of a ramble but the gist is that it could simply be a mechanical measure to enable a simpler transaction, a tax situation or even a way to force Donald into 'put up or shut up' situation.
Or it could simply be them pulling out ...
... however, he reckons they'd have made a brief statement if that were the case.
So it could mean 'everything or nothing' as he put it.
Sorry but that's all I have mate.
