I wouldn't normally post this early but I just woke up to a message from a 'friend' in Texas who used to text during the FPP takeover. It's been months since we were in touch so nice to see his name pop up. He's a businessman/soccer fanatic who 'supports' Arsenal as does the Sheikh I worked for, I introduced them.

Anyway he was at an awards function last night, dunno what time it is there tbh, and bumped into people he knows who are also into football. He said it was openly discussed gossip so I'm taking a flier and repeating it. I can't ask as I think it's the middle of the night but can't wait to post this. It's slightly weird that my club is being discussed at a posh do in Texas tbh.

The gist of it is this, no vague hints or initials of people involved. Fuhrman made an offer, which still sits there, that is way lower than Donald's ask. Absolutely nothing has changed other than Sartori has decided that he has little to gain from selling his interest and wants to be involved at some point in the future. That wish, apparently, has been well received by Fuhrman's people.

That's basically it and, as a layman, I've no idea what it means. I thought Donald could insist on Sartori and Methven selling up but might be wrong. I'll wait until Grumpy Old Man, from RTG, is up and about so I can ask, he'll know.

In some ways I'd prefer it if Sartori is involved and not just clinging onto his shares for devilment. And I've no idea whether that affects Donald's attitude to selling to them. In fact it raises more questions than answers imo. I'm just pleased there's still a chance of Fuhrman being involved and, tbh, part of that is to justify what I've been told by other people and what I've posted over what seems like years.

It's also nice to be remembered by a wealthy Texan, never thought that would happen when I was growing up in Durham. When I look at my contacts list it always makes me laugh. I wouldn't dare contact some of them but I keep them on my phone just for fun.

Anyway, i'm half asleep and rambling ... I'll try to get back off if I can.

Just to update , I sent the gist of this message to a London lawyer 'friend' yesterday and he's replied with a thumbs up.
(Sadly that's all so I suppose he could either be confirming or wishing me well.)

He's nothing to do with SAFC but some people might remember he gave me a few nuggets when FPP were involved in Due Diligence.

I'm not saying his :emoticon-0148-yes: is a smoking gun but it's a straw I'm happy to clutch.

We are staying in derby on the Saturday night in a travel lodge as didn’t fancy a four hour drive starting at 6am on Sunday then a day in the park, the Alton towers hotel is on top of the park tickets which includes breakfast, it’s one of those themed ones, not sure how much it was Mrs c booked it, it’s a class day out even better if you do the two days as there is no rush and you get to go back on your favourites, some absolutely cracking rides the smiler is out of this world
