I’m also disappointed that it seems that the Americans may not be as on board as I was hoping, based I’ll say purely on rumours on rtg posted by a few, I think, well meaning folks, and I’m disappointed that we look like getting a first division manager, although we are, let’s be honest here, an average first division club at the minute, but ffs I’m not putting a fatwah on Donald for it.

None of us know why the Americans haven’t completed. Somebody on rtg says “he’s probably wanting to retain control “, somebody else says “he seems to wants more money”, somebody else says “looks like he’s moving the goalposts”, finally somebody says “Nathan O’Brien has been pictured with him, and the Americans, he might be either commercial director or an investor “. Nobody knows the truth, only those involved, but those posts, and sadly I scribbled the just of them down a week ago, have lead to this outpouring on sd. Add to that these conspiracy dicks who now believe Donald and methven are pulling off a Bernie Madoff sized scam with their own businesses monies and hey presto, we now have an owner who rivals Mike Ashley in popularity.

And what’s he actually done that we can say hand on heart, not what we think, or worse still that somebody’s cousins best mates uncle thinks, he’s entered in to talks with a few interested investors who will inject capital at a time when its needed, he’s still talking to them, he’s dismissed a failing manager, and is trying to attract a replacement, with a limited budget for both his wages and player recruitment in January, at a club where our expectations far outweigh our ability, he managed our finances to a point where we’re not in immediate danger of doing a Bolton or a bury. Yup we should get the pitchforks out, he’s a ****ing monster.

I’m not a massive fan of the lad, he gans on like a dick trying to be the people’s champ all the time, I’d rather he acted like a millionaire, a bit aloof, and looking like he oozes money, but he doesn’t, but let’s see it as it is, if the investors walk away, well we’re no worse off than we were two months ago. If we get Parkinson, well we needed rid of Ross he couldn’t get the team playing, none of this needs be Donald’s fault, in fact it might be a plus for the club, we don’t know.

Urge everyone to read this in Stewart Donald's voice. Uncanny. Also go back and read Roppa's posts on here, literally every single one of them comes back to this defence of Donald.

Even the insults are backhanded compliments 'I'd rather he went on like an aloof millionaire' :D Come off it

I know there’s some that thinks you might go around with a tinfoil hat but you have a point !

but I do agree with all Roppa’s points also
 
you sir, are the font of all knowledge, so when you say it's done or it's off, then i'll know the truth.

As I've said mate, I know 1% more than some people but, as things stand, I've no reason to think the Americans have gone.

I'm happy to keep believing despite the inevitable derision it will bring.

I can;t pick any of it as incorrect information. He's saying basically, in a few more words, what I have. Donald may not be the "Sheiks" but this club would probably be in a lot worse place without him. If you listen to the rumours then he's a twat - if you look at everything we know for certain, he's not!

But no reason to think anything might be imminent? Can I go back to my spreadsheet for the rest of the day and try to earn my wage for once <laugh>

I'm so disappointed that things didnt progress- I'd be happy to wait another year if it meant the Americans tie up a deal.

I posted something and immediately received a request to remove it.

The quick edit, and dancing lad, was a cryptic message to the lad who'd given me the message in the first place.

Sorry if it confused anyone but I'm trying to post in between making some pretty big decisions, and moves, in my private life.

No excuse but we haven't worked since we parted company with the Italian millionaire, in March, and we've just turned down a great job in Cabris.

That wasn't an easy decision

You're holding out to look after Michael Dell's new gaf in Pennywell aren't you.
