Don't forget that this chap has other businesses to run. Failure in running a football club must sap one's credibility in the eyes of those who you hope to continue to do business with. You can't afford to get the reputation of being a complete arse so far as important business decisions go. Unfortunately owning a football club is a very public undertaking and any bad publicity associated with it rubs off. That's why failure in football is always the fans fault - the very people who don't make any of the decisions regarding who is employed by the club and plays for the team.

It's also the reason why anyone in their right mind who found themselves in Donald's position would get rid of SAFC as soon as they could

He's going to have to spend a few quid if that's his plan and he won't do that.

Maybe. Maybe not. LIke it or not, we've been a hair's breadth away from promotion in the last 2 seasons. It won't (or shouldn't) take that much to get us over the line

he's worried about reputational damage : he looks a 100% potato heid on his SAFC dealings so far . He's holding out for a big profit so he can say what a great wheeler dealer he is. As I've said before, if there was any chance of a happy ending for this regime Methven would still be there to grab some limelight.

No doubt some have but there a lots of other reasons at the minute why other than a protest.

You could see from the social media platforms a lot were unhappy with the lack of respect the club showed them releasing the previous statements. Also similar feeling word of mouth.

They might be but social media platforms aren't a direct reflection of the sentiments of the fan base as a whole.

Bet the majority are. I know a load who are simply not renewing because of the actions of these clowns and their terrible statements trying to fleece us. That includes myself.

I suspect the majority are for other reasons by far, but we won't know for certain.

Yup but as I say, from word of mouth there’s similar feeling.
 
Rodwell is here to do SD’s dirty work any ‘positive’ words from him or indeed PP are just smoke screens while they work in the background to run us as a 12k fans club

Could be... I Remember when we were waving red cards on the Fulwell to get Murray out in the early 90s. He overcome that unpopular spell to build the sol and deliver our highest league finishes since the 50s...

Maybe just maybe the Donald is clinging onto that last hope of getting over his own popularity blip and getting back to back promotions to become the flavour of the month again ;);)

If it hurts his reputation and finances I have not one jot of sympathy, he shouldn't have bit off more than he could chew.
 
Salmon pants tosser is due up soon to say get your season tickets sap to help the club. and btw a deal will be done by end of August.

Bunch of unts that they are.

It its a pandemic with people not knowing if they can go or not. 14,000 have not declined to renew as a protest.

If you think 14,000 didn’t renew because of it f I would suggest respectfully that you need to stop drinking bleach. Those 14,000 and I’ll educate a pure guess didn’t renew because the club and Donald shafted them, showed them zero respect and laughed in their faces.
