interesting phrasing...
"Robert Platek, Glenn Fuhrman, John Phelan and Michael Dell have been in talks about becoming investors, with the current hierarchy eager to ensure the club can be competitive should they win promotion back to the top tiers of the English game."
and what if we don't...?
then the club is in a good enough financial position to be self sufficient until we do
SD has always talked about investment
It was the media who changed it to takeover

It won't but it's the case. Look at all the language used now. Investment. Everything previously was takeover. Apparently that's been the sticking point.

to be fair SD has always said investment, it was journos that said takeover

I think we should all get excited rather than argue over the detail.
I appreciate you don’t believe what was due to happen previously and then fell out but let’s just get excited together ey!

Do you think RR and ALS just randomly printed takeover articles, printed shirts just off a hunch? Not only that, not only that, heard a few things to say that was one of the sticking points. Now a smaller investment instead of the initial (up to 76%). Maybe that's why TD isn't really essential here anymore. SD can absorb that role

Then why say at the talk in about not knowing if the group wanted him and CM to stay on or not - that more than suggested at the time it was more takeover than investment.
Anyway, I’m not SD’s biggest fan at all (or CM) but credit where it’s due, excellent news this and means we can now focus on matters on the field. Haway!!

According to Phil Smith.
To be concluded within the week.
Wonder if Donald will return to Twitter to slag him off for posting unfounded rumours.

Anyone think TD leaving yesterday has something to do with this investment, they want there own man in

Nah. The amount for full takeover given our current status. Maybe they have took the cautious approach and decided investment as we move up the league's (should) is more prudent. SD was always going to be the face of safc and running day to day irrespective though.
