Donald on BBC Newcastle

Not open for further replies.
I was always suspicious of Donald and for one reason or another had a bad feeling about him from the start.
The social media
The sitting with the fans
The (now what's turning out to be) bullshit.
Saying that Jack Ross would handle transfers and everything on the pitch, but then we find out that it was Donald himself who signed Grigg (and that's all we no about)
Now Parkinson is under instructions to get Grigg going? ... Hense him starting instead of McNulty.
The appointment of Phil Parkinson was a real low for the club in my opinion.
Then bad news after bad news since.
Donald has got the Jack Ross appointment wrong.
Transfer business has been nothing short of horrendous taking all thing into context (Maja, Grigg etc.)
The academy is doing poor.
We are failing in league one
Out of the League cup.
Out of the checkerleasingtrade.com trophy.

Donald has tonight said the opposite to what Metven has said days ago RE American investment.

Just shite man.

Keep the faith

No thanks. Swallowed enough propaganda in the last 16 months to last several lifetimes.

See what filters throught but I agree with this. It's alright telling us repeatedly how hard things were and how we are doing this and that, but if the things they put in place aren't enough to get short term results then it's all in vain and just spin over the fact they've simply not done well enough where it matters.

It’s a shame nobody pointed out that it doesn’t matter how close we are to 3rd place or how many games in hand we have over 3rd place - it’s the top 2 that are guaranteed promotion

And you don’t get closer to those positions by not winning games

I don’t know what to think at present. I think he seems genuine, perhaps slightly bruised by his own failings since the summer.
I really want to believe him, but through the loan/investment contradictions, something still doesn’t add up.

This sums up my feelings about him at the mo perfectly.

I still quite like the bloke although he's not been that consistent and I like what he's trying to do, but his popularity in this game is only going to be decided by one area and at the moment his popularity is massively on the wane.
 
He’s made mistakes, which he acknowledges, but I have to say he came across well and very genuine. Noticeable that he stuck up for Hill (who most of us don’t know what he does) but not Coton (whose recruitment is pretty much indefensible).

Simon missed a trick not challenging him on the discrepancies between his rhetoric and Methvens, otherwise I was impressed with him (pryde)
 
Id like to ask what are the fans concerns still regarding this “loan”? For me its clearly a way of getting the americans involved the 10-20 project they described it as themselves
