The day of the Heerenveen friendly? I was there, he was telling us we were keeping our powder dry until Championship clubs had made their signings.

That was something the club asked us to host rather than it being an official WMS thing. But yes, was on the day the Campbell bid went down the toilet too.

I love the positivity mate, I really do. And I suspect you may know more than me re. Details. But I just can't share your optimism. Any solution that keeps donald and methven as owners is hugely disappointing for me. They'll still have an input.

Donald will have practically zero input. Methven will basically be commercial. The new guy and Sartori will have final say. I'm same as you mate, don't want Donald and Methven involved but it's completely out of our hands, they wont be making any decisions.

I'm not disbelieving but curious here. How do you get to see presumably private emails from an SAFC owner about a potentially multi million pound investment scenario in our club? A reason the FPP deal allegedly fell through last year was far too much pre deal 'publicity' being bandied about so its strange people not directly involved in any deal can become privy to something of such an allegedly high magnitude this time around!

Club employees? There are not many people working at SAFC on a daily basis just now so how come so many knew Poyet had been offered the job? Simply by text, social media etc. from a particular indiscreet source?

If its all still open secret time on such an important deal I find it strange-not saying you don't know the full facts.....

I have a mutual friend with one of the owners.

On the takeover, I’ve never known who it was, just that it’s all been slow moving then more recently “done” etc. So there’s a lot less gossip then when the FPP debacle unfolded!

I think on Poyet, senior people at the club were just very confident he was coming and thought it was ok to pass on. Seemingly loads of people heard about it. I don’t know why he turned it down but he did. I’m not some fabled “Itk” or other such nonsense.

I say what I’m allowed to say but I get to know little of specific names. Despite our dislike of the current owners, there’s a modicum of professionalism about what they disclose to anyone at the moment. So I’m finding out the names of those involved in the takeover at the same time everyone else is. The only difference being is that I’ve been confident of it happening for months.

They won't be and they won't They'll be passive shareholders, holding out for geld down the line (well, Donald at least).

It’s getting very frustrating this saga

I understand marra. At least these rumoured appointments mean there seems to be a plan and some cohesive thinking behind the scenes.

I'm sure they'll be interviewing managerial candidates at the same time though don't worry ;)

We need them to get this one right so I'd rather wait a little longer and make sure everything comes together well.
