I've seen first hand what Donald has done or tried to do with our club. Damage? I can't agree.

I think he’s done a lot of harm to us mind, even financially he’s cost us but particularly our football side. I think he was after a quick buck and he wasn’t savvy enough to deliver it but I respect that you know them and have another perspective and you have every right to voice it. I don’t think he’s done it deliberately just bad decision making. If we get a better set up we can recover.

We were in a total mess before they arrived. Money leaving the club in ridiculous amounts. We're no longer in that mess. We haven't won promotion yet but we are financially secure (as proven by the last accounts). That has taken an absolute shed load of work to get to this point. Its a shame its going to come to a bitter end but that's football.

Donald will sell the club for the right offer and to the right people and we can all move on.

We're a better proposition now in league one than we were 2 years ago in the championship for prospective owners (unless all these offers are lies and don't exist). That isn't a coincidence and hasn't happened over night.

I hate you. Bally is my absolute hero

Used to love Bally me. Had the ALS "Oo Bally Bally" t-shirt when I was a young'un. Loved the bloke. Then he took over as caretaker manager after Mick McCarthy got sacked I think. We got stuffed 4-1 at home off Newcastle and I went to a talk-in with Bally at the SOL. Fans were angry and one asked him what he thought of the utter shitshow that had unfolded that season and what hope could he give us for the future. His response was (and say this in your best Bally/Cockney sounding accent)...."ah dawnt wanna tawk about that, ahm just fankful for the opportunity". It was pathetic and I've never been able to get my love of him as a player back after that.

Anyone could have come in and cut costs though?

What other good things have they done?
