I mean this is literally my point :D

All I am saying is that theoretically, they have done a deal that allows them to takeover the club at some point in the future if they want. Is that a 'takeover' deal? Some people would say yes, some people would say not until the right to buy is exercised. It's a slightly ambiguous deal in that regard because it could still end up in all 3 outcomes (buy us, walk away, hold position).

So I am asking (politely) whether one man's takeover is another man's convertible loan, whether one man's 'deal to buy us' is exactly what we ended up with, and that the insistence - against the express public opinion of a man bound to legally not lie about FPP - that they made a bid to buy the majority of the shares in October last year may in fact refer to the convertible loan that they could exercise in future. I'm simply asking whether that terminology has caused confusion.

If you actually read it, it's trying to help us all understand what has happened and whether the 'two sides' are actually just talking about the same thing.

Mate, what you're saying is plausible. I'm just saying that I (and others) literally know it isn't the case. It was a full takeover. You might choose not to believe that, but I've been pretty open about my source. I'm not guessing or speculating. It was a full take over that fell through, then it became the loan that FPP offered.
 
basically asking if you have renewed or not or has the virus effect your decision
The reason I have not renewed is because I can’t
I need to do it at the club shop for concessions
Right. It was a bit awkward in parts.
 
@WiseMenSayPod
We understand Mark Campbell is claiming to be close to completing a deal to takeover [HASHTAG]#SAFC[/HASHTAG]. Campbell wants to complete the takeover by the end of July.

@WiseMenSayPod
However, things look very similar to the sitation last year. We're told Campbell needs to provide proof of funds in order to move the deal forwards. As we understand it, he is yet to do this, and didn't do so last year either. [HASHTAG]#SAFC[/HASHTAG]

@WiseMenSayPod
We understand that if Campbell can show proof of funds this time around, then a deal can be wrapped up pretty quickly.

Campbell is attempting to work with US investors in order to complete the deal, but has previously claimed all funding is coming from him alone. [HASHTAG]#SAFC[/HASHTAG]

@WiseMenSayPod
The deal which Campbell believes he has in place could be worth up to £30m. A further £5m is apparently due to Ellis Short if we return to the PL (lol).

This was a clause agreed upon by Madrox, and they want this obligation shifted to any new owner that comes in.
[HASHTAG]#SAFC[/HASHTAG] - is this what caused the FPP deal to fall through?

@WiseMenSayPod
MC's group appears to include John Park and Ryland Morgans on the football side of things.

On the financial side he hopes to attract US investors and will name Stephen Barbalaco as CEO. [HASHTAG]#SAFC[/HASHTAG]

@WiseMenSayPod
From discussions we've had it appears MC does not have funds of his own and is reliant on others stumping up both proof and the monies in total.

Appears eerily similar to his previous bid, and his attempt to buy Falkirk. [HASHTAG]#SAFC[/HASHTAG]

@WiseMenSayPod
As it stands it seems unlikely Campbell can conclude the deal. He does not appear to be a reputable buyer, so why are [HASHTAG]#SAFC[/HASHTAG] entertaining him?

And why did we allow him to he involved in our 19/20 season preparations before he provided proof of funds?

@WiseMenSayPod
We think the majority of [HASHTAG]#SAFC[/HASHTAG] fans would agree that the time for the club to change hands is now, however it must fall in to the hands of the right buyer for a fair price. Donald must do the right thing for the club and its supporters.
 
You would expect he would need 40m upfront, that’s to buy the club and to pay off FPP, unless that’s who he’s hoping his American investors are going to be
 
This blokes a nutter but he has some bollox.
Having heard a few things from Falkirk, his mode of operation seems to be to turn up promising the earth
and turning the heads of gullible money grabbing owners (wonder who that could be) with grand plans.
Agreeing a deal then saying
Ok I'm off to find the money now.
His big Achilles heal seems to be that no bugger wants to invest with him. (so far ???????)
New York Property Tycoon or Bankrupt pub landlord take your pick
Sunderland being Sunderland I've a bad feeling about this.
