The owners of SAFC are in over their heads and struggling.
I don't believe their bluster, about finding a way through this crisis, for a second.
Donald knows that and is aware that he might fluke promotion, at the third attempt, only to find there are no buyers. He doesn't have the money to stay up, let alone progress, so would be in an even worse situation.
I've seen some incompetents at this club but I've never seen any owner push so many long term supporters into giving up.
People claiming Donald has improved the club with cost cutting, wage reductions, etc are ignoring that fact which is ultimately more important in the long run ...
... that's the real big picture.
He's just not very good at running a football club.
