Not one direct quote, not a mention of who the two parties are supposed to be.
Echo clickbait from one of the ‘journalists’ brought in on cheaper wages to replace the displaced experienced ones who were on more money over these last few years. A once decent evening newspaper is dead in the water due to cuts, cuts and more cuts and whilst understanding that the print media is struggling badly due to a drift to people accessing their news online, the Echo hoisted the white flag up years ago and Johnston Press have killed that newspaper.
We all know that FPP are one interested party, but they will dictate any terms of purchase and not the owners.
Rumours of Peter Kenyon, anongst others, trying to see who might be interested in SAFC have been doing the rounds for some months but nothing concrete as yet.

The Echo sound like Safc to be honest, replace good experienced staff for cheaper models 😡
 
The real worry about all of this though is what these chancers will do to survive. They have already started by selling promising youngsters and saving money by not renewing contracts of experienced first teamers. You wonder what else they will do to hang on long enough in the faint hope of making money out of the sale of the club

I do worry about any irreparable damage these clowns have done in trust. These clowns came in promising the world and most of us (including me) lapped it up. I hope any positivity from new owners isn't met with scepticism because of this lot abusing the trust.

I actually think it will be a good thing not to expect much next time, we got far too carried away last time thinking Donald was the saviour. The Don ffs.

Agreed. However, the last two years have taught us that words mean little. SD got support as his ‘open‘ and ‘honest’ communication contrasted with Short’s silence. In truth, comms is a very thin layer of icing on a cake. If you fuck up the cake mix it’ll still taste like shite. We should be supportive of the next owners but only as long as they plan - and more importantly operate - with the intelligence that is so clearly lacking from the Donald regime.
 
If there is a L1 next season then I think we’ve a chance of the playoffs again as long as we don’t recruit using the same methods as the last two years. Mind there may only be a dozen teams in L1!
