    Mate, you can’t kid a kidder, I’m too long in the tooth to know when something is going on and when it’s a media spin, I’ve grown up through several Tory governments man

    Not until SD leaves... we’ll get promotion this year without doubt but we won’t progress as SD hasn’t the business nouse, Football nouse or funds to progress a club/fan base our size

    Owners come and go, but real fans stick by the club through thick and thin. I don't think that SD is the long term answer either, but dissing him and his family will not help the club in the here and now..

    If it turns out you're wrong will you admit it and be a normal fan, posting on the match threads etc, or will you disappear never to be seen again? I know what my money would be on.

    Do you have info on how long periods of exclusivity last for purchases of clubs valued in the region of 30 to 40 million. I know when I bought my house it took about 6 months and it is nowhere near that value.

    Find it bizarre a man who thinks he knows something wont happen is basing this on his one opinion (his own) and ignores 4 people on here who have good track history for safc knowledge and insight and Nick Barnes and now the CEO.

    Just my opinion though as mine doesnt count ahead of his....

    I get why some people are doubting the positive information coming forward as we have been messed about for so long but I dont get why the club would start making these statements if things weren't so close. I mean yeah this time last year there was lots of statements and it went tits up but this time its been dead silent and then this alongside finally announcing a fans meeting. I very much doubt they would announce a fans meeting if the plan was just to keep kicking the can down the road or announce its another failed takeover. I would not want to be in the same room as fans announcing that!

    If we had 40,000 fans who were positive regardless of owners or performance and backed the club with all they have for 90 minutes on a match day then we would thrive..

    You claim to be in the know, how would clinging onto the club and stringing fans along benefit Donald?

    Either he or the club are losing circa £1m per month during the covid crisis. So either he is out of pocket by having to put that money into the club or the club borrow and accrue a debt to pay the bills, which results in a value reduced by the amount of that debt.

    So how would it benefit Donald?

    I'm sure Niall himself would be embarrassed that his name has been associated with your absolute horseshite.

    People are pleased someone from the club has spoken about the takeover, thereby confirming that possibility. No one is saying we're going to be the next Man City.

    Some people just can't abide even the slightest whiff of optimism ...

    ... they come across as more desperate than the people they attack tbh.
