Really cant get my head round all this stick for donald, when he came in the club as a whole was catastrophically unsustainable with more people employed than the mags as an example, yet little over a year later the club is close to breaking even, he appointed a manager who was known for having his teams score goals for fun, he immediately started to reconnect the club and the fans again and since then has looked to expand the fan base around the world. He provided his staff with the biggest budget in this leagues history, even without grigg there were still decent fees paid for the likes of o’nien in terms of league one fees. Granted there were several frees signed however i think most have already proven themselves to be up it. I personally believe this squad that was assembled is more than capable of getting promoted if they play consistently at levels which theyve shown in some games to be capable of. Donald has taken a club that was on its knees and turned it around to a point where these very rich individuals feel they want to invest their money into it, and they still feel donald is the man they want running the show. Granted there is still things he has got wrong but he’ll be the first to admit to them but on the whole i feel like hes doing a very good job to me

Some people haven’t a clue mate

Me neither, we'd fill 55k on a regular basis. I just don't see us getting past that, we don't have the population. Not many teams in the world average over 50k.

This is how I feel basically. Without a huge overhaul on the actual city side of things, which isn’t forthcoming. It’s possible we could pick up more of the Mag-heavy surrounding areas though.

It is. He told me what it “was” past tense. He’d mentioned a couple weeks back they were looking at best way to structure it jurisdiction wise, llc/ltd and how they’d structure the rest of it ie splitting assets and land out from the club. No idea if he’s right or not, but he told me early this week that bit had been resolved but the share transfer still hadn’t happened. As far as I’m aware in his eyes that’s still the case

He could be talking shit mate. But when he told me I looked at the dates for madrox and there was nearly a month between madrox being registered and the club actually changing hands

Share transfer takes as long as it takes to sign the relevant piece of paper. A matter of seconds. After that it's just filing. The deal's complete before the ink is dry.

Yeah I know that mate. I’m just saying this bloke reckons the ink isn’t dry not that it’s not done in principle. No indication there’s an issue from him and as I said he might be full of it anyway though he seemed to know about the hold up and when it was resolved. The llc/ltd combo was suggested by him but with new American owners could easily have guessed it.

Last I heard, they were trying to get everyone in the same room at the same time sometime this week. That's probably harder to organise than most people think. Today or tomorrow are distinctly possible though.
