Unpopular opinion, but if he was being lined up by any potential owners as a potential DoF I'd be happy. Worked at the highest levels so would have a very good knowledge of the footballing structure required, would probably be good at communicating with a manager and a recruitment team. He's a bit of a joke figure and I'd hate him to be our manager, but genuinely think he'd be a decent shout to oversee the footballing side of a club, certainly better than Stewart Donald!

Well that's that.

FPP are very unlikely to come in now and he has more or less ruled them out. They were never interested in a majority takeover and never made a bid for the club. He denied this quite categorically which was interesting. He says that they are 3,000 miles away and invest in management teams, rather than in just entities on financial principle.

Whoever was looking to buy us in the summer now comes back to the table and he may take a few months to evaluate his offers and make the best choice for the club. He did mention that the FPP loan would be paid back when he sold the club to someone else. He was quite certain with his wording about 'when' rather than if, although I thought quite often his tone belied someone who would like to win the fans round.

He's prepared to take a bit of a financial hit and that was never his sole motivation. No idea what this means in practice for the bids that were made. He said that the original bid that he was 'close to concluding' in the summer was worth more than the FPP investment (which was only $12m) so that makes it anywhere from... £10m upwards.

All in all he sounded a little bit like he was setting us up for a potential stay if January goes well. He seems to be in a bit of a fantasy world where he's doing a bloody amazing job.

Quite blown away by all that. That's the clearest he's been.

Invest in management teams ffs, how ridiculous <doh>

Why would anyone 'invest' in people so clueless about football ...

... Sunderland should've gone straight back up if the landlord from the Victory Club has been in charge.

Donald is a football failure and Methven thinks the ball should be oval <doh>
