He has made mistakes , but don’t just make shit up when you haven’t got a clue how much of his own money he has put in. Considering we only just missed out on promotion last season and were 6th and 4pts off the top 2 this season before he came in I would say that has a massive amount to do with PP. There were loads of cut backs all over the club when they took over, a lot of them had to be made as we were massively over spending

Nobody is just going to throw money at us, there are still financial to follow in this league. I agree with your points though

I am not making up shit, its in the accounts

No, the academy didn't need to be cut like that

this is all what the parachute payment was for, instead he used that for himself

The content matters massively. Stewart Donald’s name doesn’t appear till the last paragraph, it opens by talking about Kevin Phillips and Phil Parkinson FFS.

Considering the ALS lot have been party to this, it’s poorly written and it’s message is unclear really.

It has resulted in over 12000 people tweeting DonaldOut on twitter so far. (One of the biggest trending things in the entire country btw). As I said, the content of the article barely mattered, it has mobilised the fan base and the local journalists. If you dont agree I suggest you probably are a fan of the chairman, in which case, that's a whole different argument.

Looking like the £10m wasn't a chance for Donald to prove he could make the club a success, it was getting him on the hook with just enough rope. Almost as if they knew he'd fail and would then have no option but to stay and see the club's value plummet even further, spend £10m (that he wouldn't get back) to get rid of them, or agree to sell at their valuation

Basically mate.

Don't agree at all. The time is now. We are 15th in league one. We already know no new players will be coming in on January 1. We have to get this man out of our club. Our future depends on it.

Exactly.
What else we waiting for, relegation to League 2? Some fans haven’t a clue imo. Would rather give Donald their money and then say he needs to go, but oh no don’t say anything right now though. I mean, WTF?!

And what if we now get zero players as opposed to 4 or 5?

The problem is that he had nothing to invest, he had to loan himself the parachute payments from the club to effectively pay off Ellis Short.

True but I'm not talking about him pulling money out of his own pocket, rather keeping on/recruiting enough staff to keep the footballing side functioning to a competetive level, which it simply isn't. They cut too deep and rebuilt far too slowly. There are teams running rings around us who haven't paid a transfer fee in years.

You are clueless, I have played a lot of football, coaches football and am still playing and coaching, by your posts your clearly no nothing about football. Just the usual let’s sack everyone because it’s that easy

You mean you hold a level 1 coaching badge which they hand out for turning up, any argument you have for supporting Donald is nonsense as the isn’t one good thing about him getting his hands on our club. You will be deleting your account out of embarrassment.

Sounds plausible, hope your right mate.
 
Remember when Stewart donald said he could build a hotel to increase turnover and help us compete.

Do your reckon this was nonsense @pwsafc or did he not say it?

So, it’s got people tweeting? Right okay, cool. What next? Any direction from these parties that seemingly got on the cans on a Friday night and wrote this?

It stinks of a chip on the shoulder attitude and reeks of entitlement, something we’ve long laughed at Geordies about, it’s message could be summarised in less than the length of a tweet.

As I actually posted, I want Donald gone and I’m not a fan of his or his regimes but I do feel that the statement could and should have been so much better than it is. I’m glad it’s mobilised people (did people actually need mobilising?) but I ask what is the plan here from these groups? Are they going to go down the approach of CARD (Charlton Against Roland Duchatelet) or are they merely standing around and stamping their feet without any plan or direction in place like some sort of Arsenal Fan TV production?

It doesn't matter about this window, man. We still have the same, crusty old twats identifying new signings. He has to go, an absolute poison in this club. Imagine, drawing to Bolton and still keeping Parkinson in charge. Disgusting.
