    Especially as Donald has ended up in this position so quickly when his starting point was almost 100% support.

    In hindsight, another sign things are happening. I think we've worked out that Donald speaks out of his ar$e and we should just read between the lines instead.

    I wouldn’t know who O’Brien was if he came up and kissed me, that’s the photo that accompanied the echo article

    I thought it was interesting in the RAWA notes from the Donald Meeting that he said that ideally he would pay everyone off and leave, but I seem to remember reading that if RAWA were to put together a fans bid, then he would introduce them to FFP. If I read that right, why would Donald even bring that up if it wasn't an option to continue with that investment? I know that Donald's communications are sometimes muddled but it seems like possible buyers might be getting an option to at least discuss with FPP. If it was a case of them just getting paid off, then there would be nothing to talk about. This is why the O'Brien + FPP idea is getting its liegs in the rumor mill. Something at some point has to start to make sense, and that approach would.

    It’s a takeover not an investment, different kettle of fish

    Wouldn't there be an option to take over and keep the FFP loan if all parties agreed? I can see how that might not happen of course, if any party involved didn't want that, but if it is a local investor that hasn't got the funds for the premiere league was liked enough by FFP to invest in as they did with Donald then maybe that path is still there? Just clutching at the straws of potential 'big' investment down the road.

    I heard a couple of weeks ago it had been offered to Tom Sloanes but he was undecided. No idea if this is true but no reason to disbelieve the lad that told me and he is connected.

    I wasn’t having go. I just posted late and in haste. Does anyone know what O’Brien looks like and if he’s in the picture? By the way it was my coworker who spoke to them that day and they said “the deal” was done.

    Is that confirmed online anywhere or was it just mentioned at a meeting? I haven’t managed to attend the last two meetings
