    Times change and things move on. Donald and Methven didn't treat Bally with respect that he deserved.

    In terms of the whole situation, I have said the Comms from the club has been terrible and they have lots to work on. I was told investment/agreement of a change of shares was agreed and would have been sorted by now but appears it hasn't. That said, I will make a bit of a prediction now. I bet the ownership group looks remarkably different by the summer.

    Interesting that Davison confirmed this morning that KLD wants to buy Madrox’s shares.

    Could be that this whole situation has been leaked to force that issue.

    Isn't that optimism?
    And why not call out negativity if you perceive it as without reason?
    Positivity without reason as you put it, optimism as I see it, at least has you in a good mood.
    Negativity without reason is just asking for depression.

    I think it has, definitely. KLD and his advisors aren't daft. It will all have been carefully planned imo.

    I hope this is not a way of pressurising KLD to pay over the odds.

    Glad he also confirmed the total domination that KLD has with decisions too. Stop the waffle that he is a puppet

    I’ve never been in any doubt that Kyril makes all the decisions mind. You can just tell by the way business is done.

    My fear is that whilst they have a sizeable percentage it’s restricting our spend and growth.

    We desperately need a win at the weekend, then a good productive meeting between KLD and the fans and we can be on our way again.

    Don't shoot me down here. Genuinely asking. Why the hate for Satori? Is he guilty by association? As far as I'm aware he's but some money into the club but decisions are made by others. If he and KLD were to move forward I wouldn't have a problem (based on my current understanding)

    True. I guess we have to appreciate that this is business not buying a cup of expensive coffee from Starbucks.

    KLD and his family are not world level business people with silly and rash decision making. It will happen, madrox will be booted into touch.

    Can't have too many billionaires, with good connections, on the board.
    Would like another billionaire, in addition to KLD and Sartori if possible with a fair distribution of shares
    Happy for KLD to continue with the day to day running and direction of the club

    Aye.

    Based purely on what is public knowledge that is my guess.

    These are not natural bedfellows at all. A PR merchant, and a bloke who runs ( quite well in fairness) an inherited insurance business , getting together with someone like KLD would never ever have happened, had it not been for football.

    They are literally poles apart. It's like when you have been way, way out of your league with some lass, until she sees sense and kicks you into tough. (Never happened here of course!)

    To be honest mate I largely think that's the case. The rumours have been there for a while that he'd fallen out with Donald by the play off final, though they've never been confirmed or any possible reasons why given. With out knowing what's gone on we can only guess, but I think the way Donald and Methven went on at the start, anyone coming in to work with them or for them is going to be tarred with guilt by association even if they actually don't get on with either of them.

    I think that Mr Storey re-emerging has escalated things. whether that is good or bad i couldnt say.

    He is always a sliver lining.

    A 3D fantasist, completely round the bend, but definitely entertaining.

    Nah I am pretty confident that anybody even remotely serious ignores him and probably enjoys the sideshow.

    Won't stop some people, can't believe they can't already see that he was in charge from stuff that has changed since KLD came in.

    I have to say gents that I couldn't make out if Lewberry was having a pop or on Prehabs side with the post. I even went to ask but decided against it as so many things in written form can be taken the wrong way! You do not have the mannerisms, tone of voice etc that you do in person so things can easily be interpreted the wrong way.

    Great to see you both quickly mention it and move on, can you both give me some pointers as the wife can hold a grudge for about 3 weeks when she takes a WhatsApp wrong!
