Press Conference

[woodlebert]

depends what was in his contract?

True. Possibly a relegation fuck off for free clause.

 

[Chucky Puddin]

He's already said there's people in mind if we need added capital or investment

 

[CARLOS CLASS]

They have clearly taken 100% ownership and their plan is that they get us up to Championship, they then bring other investors in to take us further. Fair enough.
Methven is clearly a very bright and capable fella, he’s the complete opposite of Bain

I also took from the answer on Bain that he will be gone, but they want to tell him first - this is also fair enough as I would want to sack him personally too (the oily charlatan)

 

[East Riding Mackem]

So they bought the club for £40 million, paid for over time, and the debt has been written off. So provided they don't fuck up they're going to make an absolute fortune aren't they? Fair play, if they can.

 

[Fetch Fletch]

Maybe I'm being optimistic but IMO, they've not named anyone else as we'd be f***ing scalped in the transfer window. A problem we've had for years.

’s parachute payments, despite reports. But he confirms the £40m Donald is paying Short for the club is secured against the parachute payments

 

[The Rat]

So no other money? Although no debt we dont have a very wealthy owner by footy standards then.

we already knew this

 

[Hawyatt Earp]

Enjoyed that. Slightly worried about the lack of investors at the moment but we should have enough to get us out of the division before their “contacts” come into play thereafter...

 

[SAFC 2012]

So were not even rich?

Hes only got About 40 quid to his name hasnt he?

 

[Swinny14]

Can someone fill me in with what’s been said please as at work and missed it

 

[iansun]

Will all end in tears. I really hope not though.

Sounds really possible, and the prospect of more backers coming onboardq

 

[chopsfc007]

Of course there are. They needed to get the deal done quickly so others will be added afterwards.

He clearly doesn't have the massive funds to bankroll us to the prem we must have investors interested

 

[The Exile]

Both spoke very well. A couple of interesting points there -

The Don will remain available for supporters to speak to.

There's scope for others to join the consortium.

 

[Pepe]

No investors!? Fuck sake

To stand out on here as a full on shitty knickers is some achievement. You manage it with aplomb.

 

[raba]

You lot are deluded I am afraid. The relegation to third tier and the way it happened with terrible ownership has damaged the fanbase. SAFC is cursed no matter who takes over. There are many fans who simply will not return even if the club does better in future.

Haha! You're proper twisting because whilst your rivals are out with the old & in with the new, you have another season of the 'Cockney Mafia'

 

[Botchie]

Short not taking PP, BUT the £40 million is secure against it. @Grumpy Old Man

 

[thecloughywobble]

Methven seems a pretty slick operator.

Fair enough

 

[Life's A Pitch]

I've got no speakers on me works computer so i can't hear a word either of them are saying. What i can tell you however is that i dont believe a f***ing word either of them are saying.
