    Daft sums up some of the ****e on this board today mind.
    Find it quite sad the number of people who posted nothing when good news broke yesterday about the takeover
    but are all over it today picking up on every little scrap of negativity

    I suppose its to much to ask for the facts of the deal to come out before the mass hysteria starts?

    Have you vanished again.

    You come on here, to expound your shyte arguments, then scurry off when you're challenged.

    Either back up your claims or fk off.

    Why are so many people under the belief that Sartori, Methvan and Donald will be aligned in their thoughts on how the club should be run and use this majority to go against Louis-Dreyfus?
    That makes no sense to me. The way things are currently at the club makes me believe that the relationship between the current owners is completely broken - hence our complete and total lack of ****ing direction. Currently Donald owns the majority and calls the shots and has failed massively.
    I suspect Sartori isn’t happy with this but has no power to do anything at the moment.
    The proposed % distribution means that Donald has no say, so I’m fairly happy we’ll be moving in a much more coherent direction as a club once this hopefully goes through.
    We can’t get any worse... can we?

    Been a little distracted and shaken up by the crash in the F1, but given that its been publicised as a consortium maybe JS is distancing himself from Donald. If fpp were going to take over none of them would have total control. So instead this group will have 80% control of the club. Plus it has already been suggested that Donald will sell the rest of his shares once promotion is achieved.

    That may well be how it pans out and I think you're right the doom an gloom merchants will be weeping and wailing

    However to me its a massive positive. The split to me is Satori/KLD and everyone else.
    Donald is out CM will hang around and unfortunately probably be very vocal (may well have a role) but is not significant.
    We now have real money in charge of the club. Not SD and his promises.
    Potentially FPP still hanging around hopefully converting their loan to shares at some point (see no other reason for them to still be involved)

    As @Prehab said earlier what really matters now is who they bring in and how we are structured on the football side.

    Look at Man City or Wolves these things take time
    Unfortunately we are in an age of instant gratification so you'll always get people moaning
    Sod them To me this is a bright new start that we will build on

    There is no way Sartori would bring this lad to the table, get him to invest then team up with CM & SD to over rule the decisions. Sartori wouldn’t risk his reputation or the close links/friendships him or his family have with these people. In my opinion, Sartori & KLD will be making the major decisions between them and their contacts not with CM & SD.

    I'm absolutely buzzing with all of this ...

    ... Wolves, Man City, Leicester, Southampton, etc have all had their turn.

    Now it's ours, non-believers can just f**k off and start their own miserable thread.

    Feels like we are in for a very exciting week either way.

    And then hopefully a joyful Christmas and an exciting transfer window.

    Exactly. And like I say, if they decide to hire a sporting director I'm not sure how many decisions they'd really be making anyway. Things like recruitment, whether to sell academy kids, it would mainly be decided by the people they hire to run the club. Budgets might be something they discuss, but you'd imagine Sartori would be thinking more in line with KLD than with Donald and Methven on that one.
