He's clearly a decent bloke on a personal level, but i don't think, like probably 95% of supporters, think he's fit to run a club of this size. If he's ever to succeed here, he needs to significntly invest in the team and the people around him to help him run it.

I’m in the minority here that actually thinks he isn’t at all.

lies, lies and more lies, wrapped around manipulation of our fanbase. Especially recently trying to turn us against one another.

Might be right I guess the proof of that will come pretty soon.

Likely going to be slated for this but having seen fans reactions to donalds interview tonight I totally understand why hes stepped back.
He clearly explained that this “loan” is against madrox and they are the only ones at risk if it goes tits up. If it happens these billionaires would then own the club. We know juan could easily put the money in if he wanted or you get get a bank loan, so the question is why exactly have they got this money from the americans? Because its the start of a long term relationship with them

Its quite clear that a lot of people dont understand business in the slightest.

People who go into Dragons Den could often fund things themselves but they want the added investment and input of wealthy, successful people.

This. He sounds a decent fella but something isn't right about this.
I'd like someone to ring in and ask why his mate said it has nothing to do with SAFC only last week when he's just said, if they default then they own us lock, stock and barrel
 
Hopefully this next part is about the footballing side because it is shambolic. Donald is in absolute denial about how bad this team is when keeps bringing up the games in hand just to get to third place.

Cashflow at this level is a different world from Eastleigh. Twice as many creditors and debtors to keep track of clubs can end up with demands for tens of thousands of pounds at the drop of a hat. Electricity bills, catering bills etc. Keeping cash flowing is key and the timing of this loan is strange with the window not open for another two months. I just hope we aren't using this money for the day to day running

So by your OP comment Stewie is telling the truth . So it must be Meths who told lies on the pod cast. All he is doing tonight (stewie) is fire fighting the podcast comments by Methven.. Loan to Madrox is Nothing to do with Safc......Of course it is, they are using SAFC and assets as collateral...Not Bridle insurance assets.

But the assets would go to the billionaires that everyone wanted them to go to anyway if Madeox default. So whats the problem?

He’s cracked tonight. The first time a proper journalist has asked any probing questions and he’s buckled like our defence last night.

I get what he’s saying but also think he’s right on the defensive making comments like ‘it’s what the fans want anyways’. You think aye if they want the club but if they don’t want it they could just sell the stadium and rent it back like has happened at other clubs.
