I'll be honest, I've not heard anything about Fuhrmann or FPP in general being near the head of the queue this time. That's not to say they aren't interested, but I'm assuming they have their valuation and unless Donald drops it, they won't be meeting his. Looks like it'll go elsewhere unless the existing bids fall away. If the sale does go elsewhere it'll be interesting to see if they keep the loan in place. Still wouldn't be surprised to see them stay involved and get further involved further down the line

To be fair, they didn't have a great deal to say last time ...

... at least Donald is managing to keep his mouth closed more often this time.

Preseason game at Scarborough? Looked like a kid running about chasing adults who wouldn't give him the ball. I remember what seemed to be a chest height ball come over to him around the centre circle, he jumped to head it but it was a little too high. His Wikipedia page says hes 5 foot 5. Someone must have been messing about with it adding a foot to his actual height.

He came on against Wimbledon as a sub in March (his one and only appearance) I am 5'5, he is nowhere near that. Maybe 5'2 at a push <laugh>

Is it possible that both are true? Fuhrman doesn't want to walk away but the currently accepted bid is from MG? Leaves open the door for Furhman staying in with the loan. I can imagine MG knowing that it would be a popular move if it could be pulled off.

There's something that just doesn't ring true with Gray and this consortium imo.

Gray was apparently interested in the club before FPP and even Donald. The reasons for him not buying SAFC seem pretty feeble tbh, old grudges etc. I doubt Short or Donald give a toss as long as the offer and funds are there.

This is Gray's best ever chance to be part of the ownership of the club ...

... he really needs to step up now or, for the sake of the club, stop this endless speculation.

Gray is a strange one. Walking around town in his heyday saying do you know who I am craic. He was vocal recently and went quiet since the NDA has meant to kick in. Him being quiet if he isn’t under NDA he a very strange. That’s why when he said they’re looking at numbers and then went quiet makes me feel he is involved .

From what I know about NDA's it doesn't mean you're under house arrest, bound and gagged.

I saw him at the McCain stadium come on as a sub before the start of the season. He was tiny and no where near 5’ 5”

Didn’t see him in the league so you were lucky there

https://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/7953727.ex-city-boss-is-out-to-make-an-impact/

“A jaded-looking Scarborough were beaten 3-0 by Sunderland last night at the McCain Stadium with the Black Cats' £1.6million Honduran international Milton Nunez setting up two first half goals for Neil Wainwright and scoring the third himself”.

Maybe it was the drink but as I remember he was smaller than the mascot!

Rubberface over the road, although hasn't named him, said it is MG and his consortium who are the ones who had a bid accepted and Donald is suddenly being an arse about it all wanting someone removed from the group (sounds as if he wants MG out). Apparently his 3 backers are from Dubai or at least are based over there.
He's absolutely certain of all this as much as you were about the things you'd said about FPP. Doesn't come across as someone who would make stuff up either.

Rubberface has just absolutely lost it on RTG after a few days posting.

No offence to the lad but I had dozens of people after me for months ...

... not one of the useless f*ck**s ever laid a glove on me.

But it goes to show that it's not worth posting info on there, the jealousy burns through from anyone who doesn't have a life and think everyone's like them ...

... or lying if they claim they aren't.
