At lot of people feel its fuhrman... but i do wonder if there is some horse trading or at least consideration between Platek and Phelan about on boarding on this, even in a small way. These type of men can see huge opportunities where others see only problems, to fix safc , getting out of lg1 wouldn't be that hard for these type of men... even that modest achievement brings its own rewards

I think Furhman having been bitten by a competitive/ego/sentiment driven bug is our best shot at a big time owner. Phelan and Platek have gone imo, unless they have plans to leave MSD. I don't see them taking ownership here and retaining directorship at a company with security over two other clubs. Massive potential problem if the security is ever to be exercised as one of them even signed off on that and both are at the very top of MSD.

We ain't making enough money for the next 5 years for someone to break even on their investment unless they're absolutely scraping the barrel and getting lucky, which Furhman presumably wouldn't... so it has to be about his sentiment and desire to do this overwhelming his financial interests. How much loss is he willing to take over the next 5-6 years in order to possibly one day own a team in the top 10 of the PL?
 
Barnes basically said he doesn't expect to hear anything till ens of August/start of the season but has heard nothing to suggest it hasn't happening .

He still believes it is happening
Donald is amendment he is going, he couldn't take investment as he wants to leave the club and investment means he will still be on the board

Fingers crossed it is still progressing. That last part is very telling at least!
