Yes but to time that right at the start of a crucial transfer window gave Donald the perfect excuse to say I’m spending fuck all it also hindered potential deals . It was stupid timing and shouldn’t be speaking as if they are the voice of every fan

We all know it made no difference to the window. Owners are Potless and weren't going to back PP either way. It's part of reason he was employed. Cheap and didn't ask for funds. Be the same this summer. Frees and loans and they will all be cheap at that.

he had already been trying to sell, he had already borrowed £9 mill to help run the club, he said himself it didn’t affect the window which was right as he wasn’t spending anything anyway.

Where is the sense in hounding giving a new manager so much abuse he’s not going to get sacked before he’s played a game is he ??? It’s hindering a club your supposed to be supporting

I see where your coming from but....... doesn't make them wrong does it? They could have asked members but them you get the shit from the club we had at last meeting. When we look back we'll see they were right in what they did.

If I'm hounding anyone it's the owners. PP isn't good enough imo but he's got my backing. It's sd's fault he's here in the first place and that he won't be backed sufficiently imo

I think he gets some bits and bobs but not from a great source and takes them as gospel even when they contradict what he’s previously been told. A mate of mine was PA to a non exec director at SAFC years ago and so I got very occasional, mostly boring bits of info. Only time it was really useful was Wilkinson coming in for Reid. Should have put a boatload on at bookies but genuinely thought it was a piss take.

I heard that on the evening before it was announced from an Ex player and didn't belive him... The following morning, another a lad who still works P/T for the club confirmed it and i missed out on putting a few quid on it too...

There’s a poster on here, who’ll remain nameless, worked for the club at the time and made sizeable cash on it. Murray was going to fire him until it transpired teachers from Bob’s kids’ school had done exactly the same.

At the time there was apparently no one queuing up to buy the club and with the debts racking up from short I believe that.

I also cannot blame Donald for giving it a go, he took a chance to save the club, get us promotion, ( very close )
And flip us for a profit.
Unfortunately he failed.

I'm not a pitchfork wielding maniac ( yet ) , but, although he has succeeded in getting us sustainable, I'm worried about too much cost cutting the longer things go on.
Ie the academy etc,
The longer we are in the wilderness the harder it's going to be to build IMO.

Unless someone buys the club with much more financial clout and a long term plan we could stay stagnant or worse.

On that basis I would like mr Donald to cut his losses and bow out.

Aye in fairness a lot of us did fall for it, myself included. A lot of what they said was what we wanted to hear at the time, "no more piss takers" etc. I guess we were ripe to be made into mugs by the right opportunists.

I fell victim to it myself. Donald and co. an opportunistic infection of our great club. We need a vaccine soon before this infection kills the club.

This is probably a fair interpretation
If we've learned anything from madrox is that they are inconstant to erratic... Flighty and more reactive than proactive. They had a few NDAs which is counter intuitive to the whole notion of ITK. given the types of claims that get made on here or would be quite easy to spot whose leaking a certain story from well-placed sources... So either the club is feeding the poster bullshit and they're being used a flak catching shit sive or they are so buckled they've blown the need for the NDA as it's being leaked.

I don’t always agree with Prehab over judgment of players which is fine but I’ve not known him talk shit over the club - albeit mainly about players, not this. So there’s obviously some movement kicking around.
Bob knows people 100% though it sounds like they’re on their jollies so a week from now he’ll probably know a bit from that direction.

In the past it's clear some have been given insights on the club... But these days those are few a far between. I honestly believe that certain posters are being fed bullshit in a bait and switch ploy to muddy the waters
