Have you taken over from Mad Dog ffs
negativity man , it's crippling our support base.

I'm as optimistic as they come mate - and whoever gets the job will get my full backing.

However, I absolutely detest Methven and Donald and will not be happy about the state of affairs at SAFC until they are gone. They are the ones crippling our support base, not my cautious pessimism.
 
Its really not when Donald, Methven, Sartori and Rodwell are still here.
Of course it is, satori hasnt had much control before, and the new lad will have a big say aswell. SD and CM will just be in the background. Rodwell hasnt been at the club that long anyway not sure what some fans obsession is with wanting rid of him aswell

I would have much preferred them to announce the takeover with then the sporting director and head coach all at the same time. It would show a clear plan and get it all lined up properly. To do the sporting director first without knowing who owns us is frankly strange and then appointing the head coach that no one really wanted is really badly done.
It’s a really bad start from the ownership group.
 
I'll be alright lads, my main worry is just that I'll not get signal to check what's happening with the takeover! I've just had thyroid cancer, it's not a really bad one at my age (36) and they've taken my thyroid out a few weeks ago so all should be okay. They did a CT scan prior to the surgery and found it had spread to both of my lymph nodes and the next step would be my lungs. Because of that they removed all the lumps they could find but because of the extent it had spread, and in case any small cells that couldn't be picked up on the scan had made it to my lungs, they've just got me to come in for a radioactive iodine tablet treatment. By all accounts it will blast any remaining cells. So I'm stuck in here while I'm radioactive for a few days and then they'll scan me again regularly over the next few months to make sure it's all been dealt with and nothings coming back. Assuming this works I should be clear and have normal life expectancy, so I'm actually incredibly lucky.

Thanks for the messages everyone , really appreciate it!

Good luck mate. I hope it all goes well and you get good news on all fronts
 
Yeah mate. Looking at Downie's Tweet, he'll be the Technical Director whose role will be Player Development and modern approach to things like fitness, sports Science and the like. No mention of transfer dealings and such like. Think we'll have a separate guy in charge of transfers and first team affairs.
SAFC announcement says he will be sporting director and in charge of player identification, development and acquisitions
 
You would expect soon, Donald hasn’t got the money to be paying for Johnson and this lad from Birmingham, it’s come from someone else

Absolutely spot-on, they'd never have the foresight to think of a structure like this.
