Campbell can fuck off like. Another chancer.

 

[Hawyatt Earp]

Cannot imagine how Campbell would ever pass the fit and proper persons test...he is someone I would want nowhere near the club tbh.

This is my thinking exactly. Particularly after the Falkirk debacle and all that’s going on at Wigan. SURELY the EFL has to get a grip of its policy and tighten the fit and proper persons test

 

[bootle mackem]

FPP would have to approve it so surely everything has to be done to make sure they don’t. To go from Donald to Campbell would be just like the bluebird, sunk.

 

[Guinness Guzzler]

think it's more about keeping a percentage of shares so if someone competent strikes it lucky he can make his losses back.

This. There's obviously 3 options for Donald. The one he wants is to sell now for his ridiculous asking price, which simply won't happen. His worst option is to sell now for what it's worth, because he'll make a huge loss. I imagine he'll be very tempted by a deal that gets him some money now to limit his losses, but which keeps him a decent share so that he can get a higher return if the next person manages to help get us up. Not ideal for him but a decent middle of the road option. I don't doubt for a minute that he'd rather take that option with the wrong person than accept the loss by selling in full now to the right person

Why?

Unless Madrox pay off the loan from FPP.

Scumbag Donald did, so anyone can.

I've said it a million times, but it's frustrating that wealthy people seem to think them making mistakes and losing money is something they should be immune to.

Why should he get a % of someone else's potential success?

 

[bootle mackem]

Unless Madrox pay off the loan from FPP.

With what we know of Campbell that would appear unlikely.

 

[Bonzo]

Wouldn’t put it past him? That’s exactly what he’s going to do. Donald and Methven are the worst thing to ever happen to this club.

He would of sold it by now if he wanted to sell to anyone. He's had opportunity's to do so.

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

This has got that joker at Bury written all over it. Full of it yet jot got the money to run it.

 

[Houghtoner]

Likes to sound more important and in the know than he actually is. Pompous fucker.

Well it is his job to cover the club. Maybe he only found out recently/now.

 

[JL1985]

I’m calling bullshit on this.

 

[Red and white TID]

Saudi's? #cans

They must be very poor Saudi’s if our glorious leader knocked them back that’s all I can say, as obviously it couldn’t be bollocks

 

[lozza]

Christ that was close got to 9pm before the club pissed me off today , and there was me thinking fans would have a day off

Time to watch groundhog day again

 

[0321safc]

Let’s face it after what happened to Wigan we can’t trust the EFL to protect us from a crook. Then Bury, Steve Dale had that many companies declared bankrupt you wouldn’t trust him to own a burger van and yet he passed the test to own a football club. I’m convinced the only thing the EFL look at it is criminal records, and judging by who took over Wigan, British/English and Welsh criminal records.

 

[Bonzo]

Not if he wanted to stay on and they said no? He ends up not selling to them

what test ? ask wigan

 

[Granger]

It couldn’t have been the Saudi power structure, they’re in for the mags. Will have been just Saudi nationality, which theres nothing wrong with until you learn more.

Aye but knowing our luck the main backers of the Saudi consortium will be the Binladen Group (you know Osamas super rich family business).
The Mags get Mohammed Bone Saw (next King of Saudi Arabia) and we get the worlds most notorious terrorists kin as owners.
We wouldn’t even get to have the moral high ground.
