He could have been there too, supporting either side. Doesn’t really matter, everyone needs to chill out a bit!

Anyone could have come in and cut costs though?

What other good things have they done?

That's not true though. Plenty examples of owners who have seen a sinking ship and decided to get involved and excellerate the descent. Fewer examples of clubs that become better options for potential owners after hitting rock bottom.

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.

Youth development, recruitment, squad building, financial management, short termism, utter lack of planning, degradation of the quality in the squad, our worst finish in our history and then beating their record. I don’t need to see first hand the damage they’ve done. It’s a matter of public record and is blindingly obvious.

Apart from that though?

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.

Academy all but defunct, worst two finishes in club history, a dinosaur in the dugout and a bunch of cronies from Eastleigh and Oxford stealing a wage until the recent purge.

Cutting costs is the easy part, doing it in a way that doesn't wreck the footballing side of the club in the short and long term is the difficult bit.....utter failures.

They're chancers who tried to flip SAFC to line their own pockets and it backfired because they're not very smart.
 
Bally was a loyal player and is a loyal employee. It’s been difficult because he’s been rolled out to try and appease people. No one knows what he’s said behind closed doors either. Personally I still want loyal club servants respected in the game like him on board for the next bit. It isn’t him who made the mistakes. Others in positions of power are rightly taking the hits.
