Did I say all?

The majority of them probably will be, why else would they sell there bodies to old men or tramps who can't get anything without paying?

Did I say wronguns either?

Have I hit a soft spot or something? Each to there own if you like going with prossers crack on.

I check on here every day for updates in the hope something exciting is going to be announced but deep down i’ve accepted if anything does happen it’s going to be on a small scale which won’t have a great deal of impact in the short term. For me our appointment of Phil Parkinson speaks volumes, a cheap option and unambitious. If we were about to have major investment made into the club people in the football world would know about it and the candidates would have been a lot more high profile. Now i’m just desperate to get out of this league then take it from there. My patience with Donald is very thin. Just my opinion. We are now an average league 1 team thanks to selling the likes of oviedo and cattermole and replacing them with frees

Well said marra, hopefully Donald pulls it out of the bag, but I've got serious doubts

My only concern is 1) and 4), there's no reason for the American's to say anything if the deal is off, hence my worry is the club are scraping around for other investment.

Your right, it is entirely possible that the original deal with FPP collapsed, but the fact that the possibility of an initial loan deal with the same people has been circulating since Nixon's 'IT'S OFF' article, leads me to believe that they're still at the table.

Also, if the deal collapsed because of the obstinacy of our current owners (and I'm not suggesting this has happened), then I wouldn't necessarily expect a statement of that by the Yanks, but i do think something would be 'leaked out' via the press to pressurize Donald. These people play hardball. Nixon previously leaked that the deal was off. Maybe this brought Donald back to the negotiating table.

Like everyone else, I'm scratching my head (not my balls), and trying to come up with possible answers, and can't wait for this to be sorted in whatever capacity that may be.

Spot on post for me. More hope than actually thinking anything is going to happen now with a takeover/investment.

To counter that though (and I hope you're right!):

1. I wouldn't expect to hear anything from them, they aren't likely to release a statement saying "we've ****ed it off", I imagine they'd just leave the table and we'd never hear from them again

2. Nixon said the takeover was off, that might well be right. If this is now a loan or a really minor investment that doesn't make him wrong when he said the takeover (which is obviously what the very club fed RR were suggesting it was) is off

3. I like smug, but to be honest after constantly thinking it's near and numerous dancing emoji blokes I'll take any info he hears with a pinch of salt; not that I think he's making it up, I just think his source might be more removed from the process than we think. Methven saying imminent is positive, but if it's just a loan they're taking a long time to release a bloody statement

4. No news might be good news, or they might have gone and it might be bad news as Donald scrambles around trying to find another Mark Campbell to throw a few quid in the pot

This does sound a bit like knicker wetting, and I know it'll happen when and if it happens, but we've had months of this and have gone from thinking it might be a genuinely club transforming takeover to now it potentially being a loan, and even that taking forever to be announced. Just losing patience with the whole thing and feel like the lowering of expectations is just going to continue as the imminent thing becomes the next "takeover" in the list of things that sound promising and deliver **** all, much like the rest of the Donald and Methven reign

If I remember right Nixon said that the Americans had walked away and that SD was looking for new investors Typical Sun reporting Say enough things right or wrong they'll fit somebody's agenda. And don't care who you **** in in the process

I think PP is a decent League One appointment and that's the problem. I'd have loved Stendel because I thought it showed a bit ambition. Mind he probably saw the state of the club and pegged it faster than his ancestors got out of Stalingrad.

I agree with this. I've long since woken up regarding Donald and Methven and think they're responsible for the mess the first team, the u-23's and u-18's are all in. I'm so, so frustrated at this takeover process and when it comes to light why it didn't happen a month ago, I think there will be a lot of questions to answer. However, if Donald has got them onboard, then I hope he gets the credit due to him...

I've past caring now it will happen when it happens...

I'm confident it will go through as can't see why @Smug in Boots would talk ****... if it does turn out to be bollocks he has done the biggest wind up in the history of football.

Pretty sure that's not the case though!
