He was. But he was unaware of the sound problems. As were most of the people who mattered. The actual sound bloke was f***ing useless. Nick Barnes shrugged his shoulders when he became aware of the issues.

I’m not surprised people were talking amongst themselves when they’d paid £45 and couldn’t hear a thing. I was in the half of the room where the sound was perfect and there was no noise coming from any of the tables. Most people in that half of the room thought it was just people being ignorant arseholes. We didn’t know what the random shouts were until the sound issues became apparent. I’m sure if someone had attempted to sort the sound the talking would have stopped.

I dont know how nick barnes is employed. Everything he does is either wrong or below par.

A lot of people seem to want to have a pop at KLD especially of the share %
I was one of them when it first broke as well until I looked at it a bit closer.
We'll never know exactly how much he paid for his shares, we also don't know how much the club is losing on a monthly business.
What we do know is Donald wants a certain prices for his shares and will be happy to sell them all at this price however KLD thinks this is too high for a league 1 club.
This is why I think buying only 41% is quite an astute business move, he becomes the highest individual share holder becomes chairman with control over the running of the club, the losses however don't fall entirely on to him.
As I've said we have no idea how much the club is losing but if we said it was losing 1M a month KLD would have to fund £410,000 and the rest would have to shell out the other £590,000 over a year that would cost the muppets around £7M in a year, that means KLD would have saved £7M from financing it himself for a full season if we get promoted KLD buys the remaining shares at the price that was originally agreed.
However Donaldand co would be £ 7M short compared to if they had sold last season at a fairer price. The longer we are in league one the more money Donald loses.
KLD had had his pants down yet Donald thinks he's Billy big bollocks by hanging on to a % to cash in when we get promoted yet he will have list millions in the process.
I have stated that I have no idea how much the club is losing I just use £1M a month as a ball park figure

what would the budgeted loss have been if we had won the league and secured increased revenue for the next year?.

or do "we" only sit down and budget for failure?

the budget may well include the maximum permitted spend on wages in this leagye. at least some of the teams promoted this year will likely have a smaller buydget than sasfc..MK DOns abd rotherahm most certainly do...
lack of promotion wont be because of lack of money..it will be because of lack of competence..which has been the safc problem for a decade..
