Why is micky gray pulling out tweets from July criticising him and his consortium, does it mean something is on??

Agreed. To me there are a few factors that need to be looked at about Donald clinging on to get a better price if we're promoted
1) promotion is not a certainty. The last 2 years have shown that
2) no guarantee that this season won't either be curtailed or voided. Just with the salary cap and last seasons curtailment, enough clubs could vote for their own self interests and end the season early if their finances cause it.
3) since day 1 he's said he'd need more investment if we go up, so any potential investors/buyers are going to know he's going to be even more desperate to do a deal rather than risk the club dropping like a brick back down and wiping out even more of its value to him and he cant fund it himself
4) he knows how hated he is. Even if we're promoted he still risks a huge backlash from the fans, with potentially much smaller gates and match day revenue if he still clings on. Average gates of 23-26,000 in the championship compared to 30 - 31,000 in the division below are going to look bad and won't attract as generous sponsorship and corporate deals and will bring the wrong kind of attention and storyline to the club.
To me, he really must see that this is probably the best opportunity for a beneficial sale now as the risks of it going wrong and him seriously losing out are far too great

All very logical tbf.

The doomsday scenario, for Donald, would be scraping promotion, no buyer and a £10m Damocles loan hanging over him. He doesn't have the money to invest in staying up and it's possible the virus will still have an effect.

Fouling up the FPP takeover looks worse month after month imo.

Certainly does. Massive risk with his own future he’s taking

Is he not just pointing out he’s getting grief for **** all?

I want grieving the lad it was an opinion after watching him over the past seasons. I believe he wasnt good enough and still dont think he is. To say hes left and consistently played at a higher level I think is a bit of an exaggeration.
 
I don't know who it is in talks but I'm really hopeful its Mickey Gray's lot. It does seem odd he's bringing stuff up from July (mind that bloke having a go sounds like an absolute tool) so I'm clinging onto whatever straw I can find in the hope it's not just Sartori buying Donald out
