Short bought safc from drumaville.

Drumaville bought safc from bob Murray.

The debt wasn’t large when Murray owned safc.

Think you've not realised my point: the stadium and academy are what make us an attractive proposition in this league, not the fact we're running at a smaller loss than before

Not really given they like to indulge us with what they do via podcasts. The more open they are then the more what they do will be discussed.

That's not quite what I was referring to. I wonder whether it's unusual how polarised we are given we're all privy to the same level of transparency.

The infrastructure has been there decades. No one had any interest until they showed up and turned things around off the pitch.

Because of what I've just outlined

If it's not down to the infrastructure why aren't smaller clubs running at a profit getting bought up by this new lot

And, and this is a big AND, if we had not lost in play-offs with the last kick then we may never have been in the situation regarding this takeover! If we had gone up, we had no money to compete in the Championship!

Just be thankful for small mercies, get behind the team the manager and the club, and enjoy the journey.......

Of course it's a factor, so is the fan base but both have always been part of SAFC for a long time. Short made such a mess off the field he had to basically give it away.

How smart of SD and CM to spot the opportunity and take a risk on their ability to sort the finances out.

If you think the new lot would be buying us with the same disastrous off field performance as under Short then you're not just mad, you're willfully ignorant. Rumour has it the financial mess up the road is why they didn't buy the mags. The fact is no one would touch us and now they're on board.
