S.A.F.C. - the future

If you go down to the woods today
You're in for a big surprise
Stewart Donald's in the trees with his trousers around his thighs
Yes he is there to have some fun
And you will see his great fat bum
Coz today's the day that Donald pulls a moonie

Sorry, I needed cheering up after last night's debacle

 

What’s the craic Lozza?

 

My main 'source' isn't connected to football in any way and has probably never been to the NE ...

... he's way out of my league and owes me nothing.

He drops me odd bits of info for no other reason than we got on together when we were both doing work for the Sheikh. I was employed and he was acting for his own company.

He's told me, point blank, that 'FPP' are pushing for a resolution, whatever that means, and may well leave their money invested after the takeover.

That's not some bloke who knows Bally from the bar at the golf course but, take it or leave it ...

... as I said I've no interest in persuading anyone or after attention.

 

Madbob has said over the road, that the investment remains in place, and that’s what it is, an investment

 

It’s amazing the amount of times you have to explain things to new members mate, I would’ve just give up on it. Fair play to you

 

Can you post them, anyone on twitter?

 

I reckon he chews peyote the same way I chew Wrigleys spearmint.

 

Don't like the timing of these texts coming out like

 

Been deleted but I over the road posted them.

 

Certainly looks like Fpp won’t be leaving

 

Suppose that's a good thing, but wonder how much investment they are willing to make and what they get out of it and how much fits in with the takeover in general.

 

If this is true, when the takeover goes through and FPP's money is still there that will be very good news

 

Has to be a good thing, we would have 4 billionaires involved in some way with the club
Never mind the family’s behind sartori and the kid

 

In my mind, if they've stood firm and haven't backed out in any way its excellent news

 

He didn't stick for saying we needed a clean slate. I think anyone would say we need a clean slate in an ideal world if it has to be a new owner with them two muppets taken a smaller share and less of a role then will accept it.

Phillips got criticised for saying he had done his research and it wouldn't change with these twos till around as the new owner was only 23 and probably knew hardly anything about running a club. Which would suggest he hadn't done much research as the lad maybe young but it seems he has a better understanding than most billionaires coming in would have.

 

And this is my biggest fear. This whole episode is doing long lasting damage to our club, in particular, the fan base.

We are losing fans because so many have become completely disillusioned with the team, the manager and the owners.

Fans like something to brag about on a Monday at work or school, but we have had very little to cheer in the last couple of seasons.

I'm really concerned that the next generation of potential fans will switch allegiance to a more successful club, or worse still, give up following football all together.

 

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but you will need to realise on here @Magnus @Prehab26 @Smug in Boots and @Wheatsheaf are very well respected and the info they give us is very appreciated.
All 4 have been giving us updates throughout and to come on and suggest a takeover isnt happening will be found as disrespectful by a lot of people on here .
I moved across from RTG because of how negative it is and how the itks were personally attacked for genuine info they were sharing .
We are like one big HAPPY family across here, so if you insult our special ones then be prepared for the abuse that will come your way.

 

I've been called special before but it's never been complimentary
