Takeover News/Rumours

[Swindon On Tour]

I thought STID showed Methven as nothing but hot air. Their editing showed him as a clueless twat - pretty accurate then.

From an outsider I absolutely detested him.
On par with Sherwood at Swindon, absolute bellend, loves his own voice and status and is a complete twat.
Decent reference that.

Will all the people who keep telling us it defo wont happen be put on the RAOS list if it does?

Will all the people who keep telling us it defo will happen be put on the RAOS list if it doesn’t? Or will it be the usual “things change but info was correct at the time” excuse?

 

[Rip Van Fish]

Few people clamming for it not to happen so they can shout "told you so" as quick as they can

Not me

 

[Papa Smurf]

That STID clip was a couple of minutes long and very likely highly edited to fit Methven's narrative. I don't think it reflects the staff's abilities at the club at all personally.
It was a hatchet job on them imo.

Didn’t need a documentary to know the behind the scenes staff at SAFC contributed to the clubs downfall through their incompetence, I had a corporate season ticket for 6 years and witnessed it first hand on countless occasions!

 

[Red and white TID]

i totally agree

That is not true

but go back 10 years or even further thats when the rot set in and to many had an easy life on big money, Byrne, Bain, Hair, the list goes on.

Whatever you say Bob

Certain staff members were shown for what they were. f***ing hopeless.

I'm going for a Schreodinger takeover - simultaneously happening and not happening until Fulwell73 look at it...

Imo still people looking at us and they know SD hasn't got a pot to piss in. He's losing money everyday, just a matter of time.
He's got no money coming in but wages have to be paid and things paid for.

Slowly slowly catchy monkey.

 

[robref]

Yet you appear to know of their performance levels from a 2 minute edited clip

I'm giving an opinion based on what I saw, if you think the Fulwell73 team would allow the owners to have a say in how its edited I believe you to be wrong. If anything it 100% showed them up and out of their depth too.

Fuck all management by Bain. Took the money and tossed it big time he did.
I’d always give Methven credit for going in there and telling them just how it is.
After that tho- he was a shitshow

Donald and Methven to name two......

You saw 2 minutes. Do you think that Irish lass left her job straight after the Boxing Day game, as it was edited to suggest?

Didnt even leave the club, just changed jobs iirc

Im well aware how these fly on the wall shows are edited. You keep saying I saw 2 minutes....yet you've admitted your only dealings were mainly with ticket office staff. Out of the ones who've left I've not heard of many claiming 'constructive'or unfair dismissal. Which you'd expect.

amd you've had extensive dealing with the behind the scenes office staff then?

 

[North Yorks Mackem]

I’m not ITK , nor do I know anyone who claims to be .I assess situations based on facts .
The facts are the don is despised up here now and he knows it , as is that curly headed fuck methven.

He has to be desperate to get out and as posted by other people , if he does t get out of town , he’s losing money hand over fist every month . I cannot see why he wouldn’t want to go , yes he is an egotistical twat but we all have our ceiling . He’s going to bankrupt himself staying here .

With the new salary cap he won't. We'll turnover more cash than we're able to spend. Donald's plan from day 1 appears to be to make us a sustainable league 1 club. This cap helps that.

Don’t think that’s the case at all. Everyone wants a takeover to happen. There is sceptics because this has happened so many times before. And tbf the only ‘ITK’ who has actually told us anything of note is Magnus by saying Furhman is involved. Then the other supposed ITK’s jump on the bandwagon.

If I was Mr Moneybags looking to buy SAFC, i'd see straight away, that as it stands with covid, there is not a chance of breaking even, never mind making a profit. I'd see a majority share owner who probably can't keep funding the club for much longer, and 2 minority share owners, one who has no money, and one who doesn't seem to want to part with his money, though we can't be sure of that, Mr Sartori may be putting money into the club. So, even before looking at any books, you would surmise that the club can't be far off the point where it is trading whilst insolvent.

I'd try and get into talks about buying the club, and if I can, then it may mean that there is actually nobody else trying to buy. Once you're doing your due diligence you will find out how close to the wind SAFC is sailing. If things are dire, I would drag it out for all it's worth, hope the club goes bust, and buy it from the Administrator, or buy cheap from desperate owners saving myself quite a bit of money. Not good for the fans, possible 10 point deduction, but good for me. Not a low risk strategy for me, but it's a punt worth taking, because the upside could be huge.

The question is, is this what's happening now?

I'm standing by to be shot down on this.

Not by me its a perfectly reasonable scenario.

Moved to the FOL, which is a separate entity to the club thankfully
