Can’t believe people are falling for this, we are informed by a journalist that confidentiality agreements are in place, nothing from the club at all and people actually believe this, it’s obviously come from our glorious leader, who is renowned for tell us the truth, just a complete smokescreen 💯

Smokescreen for what though?
What has SD got to gain from it?

Nixon hasn't a clue with regards to this imo and is purely guessing. Juan has never shown an interest at all and to think he would buy us are laughable. I don't get why people are pissing their pants over no news after 2 weeks when we were told end of August. Nobody heard of anything when these knackers took over and most takeovers happen away from the press. To me what would SD gain from lying??? I'm fairly confident this is happening.

Juan has possibly never shown an interest because of SD. Just imagine the thought he may have had... "How the fuck did i get mixed up with this knacker. Can't wait to buy him out and tell him to fuck off"

Have people stopped talking about what a crap job he’s doing and are people starting to think they might just renew their season ticket cards.

Don't think anyone who hasn't renewed will do until we see who buys us and the vision.
People clinging on to Nixon's latest rumblings. I don't recall him saying anything just before SD bought us??

I don’t believe people will renew because the owners been rumbled, but think this story by Nick Barnes has diverted people attention away from the mess, as SD hoped that’s my point 👍
 
I’m certainly not itk, but I know a lad who is mates with Graham, he told me last week he was coming back from his holiday early to speak to safc, Ipswich also want him but he wants to move back to his gaff in Wynyard. I guess if a deal if offered he will probably take it, hope the fucker has improved 😉
 
The answer is probably amongst what's already been said and happened.

When SD did his interview he said he was trying to get in touch with Micky Gray to find a buyer.

What that probably means is that at that point there wasn't a buyer. That rules out FPP for me as they could have had it sorted ages ago.

Pretty quickly after that interview it was all agreed and it's getting sold and due diligence isn't an issue.

I doubt someone came out of nowhere and in a few days sorted everything.

Suggests someone close to club
 
The news today ties in with what Barnes said. It explains why DD is not an issue and could go through within 4-6 weeks (already passed Director test.

Satori came in to support us in the future, ie Prem (if we got there)

He's been focused on becoming president of his country. He clearly was not involved day to day and didn't invest much money. If he decides to take us on now, I'd imagine it would be completely different, especially with SD CM leaving.

He's obviously not got any skeletons in the cupboard, unlike the Chinese bloke,, the skint bloke and the pop bloke.
 
Thing which worries me is why has Juan not backed the team already. Done nothing apart from drinking pints. Would love it if he got Gus as manager and backed him.

Agree with this totally, except for the skeletons bit, South American politicians normally literally have skeletons rattling about somewhere.

It would certainly explain why we've been told Sartori would get more involved and then wasn't seen. Might be the case that he decided to take the club on himself but didn't want to get more involved earlier because then he'd be almost guilty be association in the eye of the fans. Instead he's stayed well away from it so that he can't really be linked too heavily to the mistakes of rhee Donald reign
 
The Cabbage said:
Fair enough. However for me the malignant influence on Safc is Donald. He’s the one who, despite being utterly inept, was trying to play at being a club chairman. Sartori is just a big bag of nothing. I’d take that over Donald every single time, though. Arrogance and stupidity are a very dangerous combination - as we’ve seen to our cost over the past two years.

Donald is allegedly the big stumbling block with regard to any takeover/investment. The FPP takeover died at the last minute and remember within a short space of time Donald allegedly told people at a Consett branch SAFCSA meeting that he didn’t know if they’d keep him and the other shareholders at the club, before then contradicting this statement on BBC Newcastle’s Total Sport programme by stating that FPP were investing in him and Madrox as opposed to SAFC as such. Bizarre.
Sartori and Methven allegedly have their own ideas and contacts with regard to who may be interested in moving our club forward and they are supposedly different to Donald’s ideas.
There is definitely something going on at the moment but only time will tell if it comes to fruition as the FPP takeover was as good as done before a last ditch collapse.
Grumpy Old Man said:
Not if Robovlev is only involved indirrctly via his daughter. Dirt simple. Set up a trust somewhere like the Cayman Islands with his daughter and Sartori as beneficiaries. Shares in SAFC or Madrox are owned by a company controlled by Sartori and his daughter. Sartori has already gone through the test, and there's no reason to suppose his daughter would. Also, crucially, although accusations have been made against Rybovlev, he's not been convicted of anything.

What’s your gut feeling about what’s going on behind the scenes right now?

I reckon we're being had completely here. Said it from the start, but all this smacks of Donald trying to buy himself some time/goodwill when he has none and the entire narrative is against him.

The idea that the takeover may be Sartori is a classic example. It could never be disproved, but equally, how underwhelming would it be if the ultimate outcome was that Sartori owned us from far afield, while Donald's gang of lackeys continued to run us day to day?

I don't think anyone is coming in to buy us as it stands - and I think they'd frankly be utterly insane to do it if there's even a 10% chance of wage limitations in the next 1-2 years. Such a massive risk.

It’s very true about Donald contradicting himself. He’s terrible at being interviewed mind gets himself stuck in a whole every time. I remember the bit on STID when he was about to say Grigg is shit on live radio and Methven jumped in and said it wouldn’t be fair to comment on an employee o live radio. Basically saved his silly arse.
How do you know the bit in bold ?
