Personally think small interest but relatively large penalty, They've spent a fair bit of time and effort setting this up and to make nothing out of it because SD goes for early repayment would seem very strange. Penalty could easily be 2% of loan = 0.25 on 12.25. So no great gain but no great cost either.

Could be! They're clever, it could be anything, nothing, or more likely, somewhere in between, and I agree there may be a penalty.

Played right into Donald's hands here ; divide and conquer. Whilst fanzines and fans with nowt to do with fanzines argue amongst themselves Donald carries on doing much the same thing with the added bonus of a ready made excuse not to spend in the transfer window. Tories do it all the time e.g. making out that the unemployed are the problem and not unemployment per se. Classic.

Also agree 100% with this. He planted the seed of doubt in his interview, plenty of people have bitten. Now you have people who are anti-Donald and anti-fans groups. Nobody knows what they even want anymore or who should say it, or even if they should.

Got to admire the execution in some ways :D

I would say the likelihood of the extreme interpretations of FPP's motives (they want it all now vs they only want Donald and not the club) are the least likely to be correct. Golden rule in scenarios where you have those two poles is to assume something in-between until proven otherwise. That's why I think them being happy to wait and see and assume a minority interest if all goes well is the most likely. Also... it's exactly what they did when all options were on the table.

For example, the loan terms. People are assuming charges and interest etc, but we don't know either exist depending on circumstances. This just isn't your standard loan from the bank. We shouldn't assume either of those things on any scale. I would also add one really crazy thing that I have never seen mentioned - if Donald took $12m and converted it to GBP in early November, he'd actually have made a profit of a few hundred grand just by the leap in currency.

eg: $12m at the time = £9.35m
today £9.35m = $12.25m

But that's by the by, my point is that because the loan is not really designed to 'just be a loan', it could well not be subject to traditional loan rules during the life of it. That means not repaying at regular intervals during the term the way we would on a small secured loan, or having fixed charges, and I think the idea of it having the entire interest calculated up front and added is very very far-fetched. Even SBC didn't do that, put it that way.

So the likelihood is there may be a small penalty or interest charge after a month, but it'll almost certainly be offset by gains in currency.
I've been thinking something similar about the terms of the loan.. they will have been agreed on between both parties and they are likely not your average terms. And regardless of the terms if both parties agree then they can also be changed.

To be fair a fair few of the original lads left and never came back ...

... well before anyone from RTG turned up.

Whatever happened to QWOP, Paradiddles, Bri, Cest, etc?

Its a strange one that smug as we seem to have no idea what happens to them if nobody tells us on here there used to be some right canny lads on here who could be wind up merchants but were also funny as well I remember that big lad who was always on about his wads of cash and his security firm and a kid called city blue Cardiff lad if I remember right.

I have no idea about QWOP for reasons, Paraddiddles is back in another guise but was never an original anyway, Bri has moved on and Cest, well you might be able to answer that better? Lads like Mackemsrule, Pyscho, Syd were the forefront to this boards success in the early days after I brought them over.. Not having a pop at anyone, the posts seem to have an air of misery about them, there's bad vibes and lots of sniping, the clubs in bad shape so that's understandable but the air has got a lot thicker since your crew followed you here.. Just saying like..<ok>

I really don't see it that way tbh.

3 of the first 4 threads are light-hearted efforts about daft jokes, music and the auctions.

As I said to someone yesterday 'if you don't like the content post something better.

You can't just look back nostalgically about how things were decades ago.

We're a club in the **** in our second season in League One so people aren't happy ...

... I don't think you can blame posters, on here, for that mate.

And they're not 'my crew', they're people on a chat posting forum about their club and not part of a clique.

You see things differently from me mate, probably always did, you have made a lot of exits and returns here since about 2013 and it seems your stall is set now.. Good luck with it, the platform is all yours but I will keep popping back as and when and joining in when appropriate..<ok>

Don't want to insult any of the new members since last September but a few do need to **** off though, it isn't about misery when you escape to a forum, it's about fun, respect and banter without the egg shells and ****..Thanks for your reply mate..<ok>

I don't want, or believe I have, a stall or a platform.

It's a football chat forum that's supposed to be a bit of fun.

The forum doesn't 'belong' to anyone whether they've been here for decades or arrived tonight ...

... if people don't participate, because they want things to go back to how things were, they'll be disappointed.

Talking in riddles now mate, been watching you do this **** for years..<ok>

I have zero interest in patronising crap Neville, the forum actually belongs to a good mate, I know exactly what has gone on since last September so stop trying to take the piss mate.. Like I said, I will participate when something interests me..

Certainly here as a result of your ban over the road Smug but stayed because it’s a better atmosphere. No doubt there’s a few of the Autumn 2019 intake that carried their style with them but it looks like most of the wums got bored and went back - excluding yours truly from that group obviously!
Used to be on BCC to avoid all the idiots but there’s a fine line between that and not having enough traffic to keep things going as was sadly proved by it’s demise

I'm sure that there are some who came over following smug's ban. Some came and stayed because of the constant negativity and wum's over the road.

Just seems to be a constant dick waving competition on most threads over there. I still post occasionally but i've posted a lot more frequently over here as it's more relaxed.

There's only one or two lads on here take things a bit to seriously most just let things go over their heads which is the best way or just ignore that particular post.

I'd say that's the case in most aspectes of life when you deal with other people.

Nothing wrong with the odd occassional meltdown as they can be fun to watch at times :emoticon-0136-giggl
