Where has the Dutch link come from? I know they are looking for an English club but where has the link to us come from? Or is it 2+2=5

But what about Ajax? That team that got to the CL semi final had an average age of 23! AZ have probably got the best academy in Europe.

They finally got it right with Overmars, after years and years and years of selling players like Ibrahimovic, Suarez etc etc just to lose a lot of titles to PSV and Twente and done nothing in Europe for 20 years.
I would say they mostly underachieved until now.
Not to mention they can sign any young dutch and belgian player they want, being the biggest club there with the best Academy in the region, which clearly isn't our situation.
I'm not saying I don't want that consortium, but following that Ajax model isn't sustainable.

They probably don't sign too many from Rotterdam ;)

I not a expert but come back on here this time next year, and the club will still be here

Hardly a dictionary definition of “fine” is it eh? “still here”. I’d suggest a safc fan would want more than “still here” for their club even with the current worldwide scenario.

No, he own 20% of SAFC, if we want to piss about with technicalities and say its Madrox not SAFC that he owns then so be it but by owning 20% of Madrox means he owns 20% of SAFC as that is Madrox only asset and sole purpose of being formed, I bet if you ask him, SD or CM they will all tell you that JS owns 20% of SAFC......

I'm no expert but even I know that having part shares, is not the same as being part owner. There are type A and B shares too and various privileges depending on how many shares a holder has.

I don't see why not, scaled to suit.

If you want, you can change it to League One Southampton & Leicester, Bilbao, or cash knackered Dortmund.

Specifics will differ, accepting the way you have been run is wrong and changing course to something with the possibility of relative success going forward is the same.

Mate, that is exactly what the Dutch league is about. One of their teams even gave Cattermole a contract after we fucked him off :D

Only because were still paying him the wages due on his last safc deal apparently. I’d wager that even without their contribution he’s the best paid player ower there.

They're looking to buy a club. You've always, rather stupidly imo, asked for fookin plan B and names. You've now got a name and a plan B. You'll be happy I presume?

That's not my point though is it! I'm responding to those having a meltdown that we are going bust
