No they defo do not think that.
They both know and admit a LOAD of the mistakes made.
We can not change what has gone before.
With the flak JR got for the last 2-3 weeks he could have walked into a much better paid job.
He like CM and JS want to put this right.
On SD I just think his head is fucked up with all the shit.
I do not feel sorry for any of them.
I do feel sorry for all the hard working and retired fans who have stuck by the club.
But that said we would have been bust if not for them.

If that were genuinely the case, then the best thing Methven could do would be to make sure any takeover goes through, then make himself scarce from anything to do with the running or PR for the club. This way, Louis-Dreyfus, Johnson, etc... can have the fresh start they deserve, without the failures of Donald and Methven hanging over the place.

He was very poor hence he is now auditioning for I Daniel Blake.Also im a bit concerned with some posters obsession with the two chances Lincoln had,whatever level we are at the opposition will have chances.In this case it was a side in form and sitting 2nd in the table, you would expect them to touch the ball occasionally

He is a mag fan mate. And his info is most defo from an insider or an agent who works with the club.

Let’s not start the ‘ we’d have gone bust without Donald’ BS again.

Magnus :lol:

What a load of shit.Why would he let Donald even retain 5% and this all comes a day after Nixon puts it out. They’re just making stuff up going off what Nixon has said. Only poster id actually trust with information is @Upthere.

Fair points. I just think the plans FPP had for the club were worthy of getting excited over (obviously can't prove it but I have reason to believe they were genuine). This instead doesn't have the same impact because no one really knows what KLDs plans are, how much he'd invest etc. Presumably he wants us back in the top flight, simply because that's likely the only place we can be profitable and because you'd be surprised if he came here without an ambitious aim. But then you see the estimated net wealth of the Barnsley owners and realise that not every billionaire really pushes a club on, so until we hear more about his plans I'll remain optimistic, but more cautiously optimistic than anything else

The fpp plans narrative is s tad bewildering if I'm being honest and does not ring true .you have a group that want a project in football and have seen Sunderland on the market and have done a lot of groundwork and have plans to invest in the club and surrounding area attracting and spending millions in the process .... but then we hit a hurdle and everything is off..if the plans were so expansive and their hopes of success for SAFC were top six of prem 40 million spent on SAFC would be a pittance In the scheme of things.so no I don't believe the hype around fpp I think their talk of investment was more about getting local firms to stump up cash and councils to give grants ect and not about spending loads of their own funds to make a laviathon of SAFC .if you have a huge project in the planning you are not easily put of by a few quid or a idiotic owner.....and if it fails to get of the ground you try it somewhere else...and fpp have not done that have they?.....I cannot believe I'm agreeing with storey buy fpp look like linvestment locusts praying on the egotistical andweak minded Donald to turn a quick buck

I would imagine cause no deal would take place at all unless SD keeps some percentage. People need to realise how much any percentage is worth to SD if we get back to the Prem

There is no deal will ever happen here where SD does not keep a percentage. All we can hope for is he keeps as low as possible

Has he got owt right yet? I appreciate the ITK game is a tricky business but you’d think the odd thing would be right (Magnus that is).

Aye, I don't want to come across as negative, but I think the dancing emoji fellas were more warranted when there was talk of FPP buying the club and having massive plans etc. We definitely need a deal to go through to get rid of Donald, but obviously this one will still see the current three owners staying in some capacity. Equally we have no idea what kind of funding or ambitions KLD would have, or how they'd be affected by him not owning all of the club. Like I say, definitely positive that a billionaire wants a part of the club, but I'm sure other clubs have very rich owners and don't get very far. The plans, ambitions and proof on the pitch are what matters, I'll dance when those become apparent, and especially when Donald and Methven finally leave completely. Ideally someone else good will come in at the last minute and buy the club in its entirety

Agree totally, however I don’t think that dancing emoji is ever warranted as it’s annoying as fuck!

You say that as if Donald is completely in charge of what happens. Under normal circumstances, yes, he could refuse to sell unless he keeps some shares. He's not really in that position though given that the club are apparently losing a lot of money every month (which they will be during Covid), he must be burning through the loan, and we will continue to be unprofitable as long as we remain outside the top flight. If he wants to be stubborn and refuse to sell then he might find he has no choice sooner or later. SAFC are very much in a buyer's market.

He knows how much any shares could potentially be worth if we get back to the Premiership. He will make sure he hangs onto that potential nest egg whatever it takes. And it looks like thats whats happening hence the delay. He will never sell all his shares imo
