But say the Americans don't have any faith in Donald now, O'Brien's cone in to run the day to day to get up to the Championship, a few more million is put in for shares to help get us up to the Prem, then they take full control of the club - not that I'm getting my hopes up whatsoever!
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 wouldn’t know who O’Brien was if he came up and kissed me, that’s the photo that accompanied the echo article
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.

RAWA already had indirect contact with one member of FPP
