People on twitter thanking him for what he’s done For the club

What’s he meant to have done like?
Click to expand...
Stopped the freefall of SAFC
Cleared out the wantaway players on stupid contracts, disrupting the dressing room
got us financially stable and close to break even
managed numerous court cases left by the old regime
because of the above, attracted mega rich investors to buy us

Just off the top of my head like - he's worked incredibly hard behind the scenes to get us in a position to be even looked at by 4 billionaires wanting to buy us

I think there are very few on here who believe Reiver has not been given tidbits of truth. He's obviously got bits of valid info, but other claims have seemingly been embellished which is what has upset a few of the people who don't blindly buy everything he's said. It's not as black and white as all truth or all lies for me. Has he got a bit carried away in the heat of the moment? I think perhaps a little.

It really doesn’t though. Summits happened in the last 2 weeks. 2 weeks ago they were registering a company, people were printing t shirts and the mood was very positive. Now we have the owner saying nothing is done. Maybe there has been a last minute snag and who knows how it will play out.

There’s another tweet where the deal is in question and SD responds with ‘when I agree a deal I don’t haggle that would wrong. I’m not on Twitter so can’t show you.
I prefer to see positivity rather than go through life looking for negatives.
 
At least hes given a roundabout timeframe now so we can all get on with the rest of our lives one way or another after 2 weeks time!

People post stuff they hear and it's usually second or third hand. That means bits get added on and twisted. Also it's a business deal so things change and the goal posts get moved. There's other people that know stuff but don't post because of some of the wankers on here. I told a few people weeks ago they had already met with Ross and then Ross confirmed it in a press conference. They also done a presentation in Manchester where people from the EFL were present. People do find things out as they know others who work for the club. Information doesn't come directly from Donald.
 
Interesting to finally here from SD on this whole takeover thing. I realise that to try and forensically dissect his tweet will potentially lead to misinterpreting some of it but as it’s all we’ve got to go on from a completely reliable source it’s certainly worth examining.

“For

fans who are unsure what i said. I said I can’t say too much but it’s not quite as advanced as people make out but better than 50/50. Nothing is done till it’s done.We will know 1 or 2 weeks.Too many rumours with people pretending to know more than they do.”

First of all I can say too much - does that suggest a NDA or is he just being understandably circumspect?

It’s not quite as advanced as people make out - the club are obviously aware of the wide ranging speculation on forums/social media and I think he’s trying to point out that nothing is due to happen imminently

Better than 50/50, nothing is done till it’s done - I take encouragement from this. I think this is Donald saying confirming the deal is almost complete and although we’re almost there he knows if something completely unforeseen should happen and the deal breaks down, he’d be forever castigated by saying it was done already.

We will know in 1 or 2 weeks - at last a solid timeframe to work towards. We’ve had so many today’s the day moments at least we now know a definitive timeframe. Also interesting that this timeframe coincides with an official talk in giving by Donald at the SOL on 11/10/19.

The final line suggests the club are miffed with some of the speculation be it press/ social media etc.

All in all I’m still confident we’re on the verge of exciting news,

This is exactly my view point and I probably haven’t been able to express it as eloquently as this. I’m getting a lot of abuse so obviously upsetting people, I’m sorry about that.

I think he’s done no more than ok

And that’s being generous

I’ve honestly no idea what people are thanking him for


You actually do though, which shows you’ve learnt fuck all

How about just wait till it’s happened?

How do you know what I’ve learnt. I mean really. I don’t respond to you I’d rather you didn’t respond to me and we will leave it at that
 
If it’s due to complete in 1/2 then a multi million pound deal is much further advanced than 50/50, Just the formalities from here on in. But like selling your house, until you exchange contacts your never 100%. If goalposts aren’t changed this deal will happen

I fell for nothing. Right i'll explain this again. Please try and understand it so I don't have to waste time telling you a thousand times with you still giving the same pointless reply.

I believed, still do, that he posted in good faith and wasn't trying to pull the wool over people's eyes. He relayed information he believed to be solid and true. I know the bloke and I know he wouldn't bullshit.
