I think if he wanted 100% control of everything mate he'd just buy the club outright

Seems like he is investing in Madrox to me.

No idea how you can have so much faith in Satori, I am genuinely baffled, what has he done to earn this trust? Genuine question.

i haven’t got the faith in Sartori, i’ve got faith in the new fella along with his family & vast contacts / experience. They won’t be letting current lot take the piss, and that includes Sartori imo.

Why are you so sure Sartori is still in with SD / CM / JR? There is nothing to back that up other than guesswork?

The amount Speakman will be taking on, and that Lowes will still be running finance, that's all that's left.

I understand it’s not going to happen and why it won’t but I would prefer him to be peddled just because his names and quotes will be all over press releases on the admin side, ticket stuff/imagine he’ll be representing the club in league one meetings shouting his mouth off again. As a bloke he just doesn’t sit right with me tbh, like I say he’s completely unlikable from what I’ve heard.

The quote about being grateful for “autonomy” stood out to me. Poyet only wants to work in a collaborative way, not being told “here are the players, you coach them”.

Yea maybe thats it. Just seems to have gone on for such a long time for the details to have not been sorted by now.

I think a power play from poyet seems more in character and hopefully the right person won.

We have the chance to employ a progressive coach, who will lead us for the next five/6 years, hopefully to get us within touching distance of the Premier. LJ will not do that. We'll be in this league next year and the year after, then he'll be sacked and we'll be straight back to square one.

You might be right but who the fuck can predict the future with certainty. I think whoever we get in has got a job on their hands with our forwards and keepers.

You know what, fuck it.

I wanted a dof, spd. We got one and I dont think he is a bad appointment.

Most important thing at the club is responsibility, and this chap has just stated its on him.

If he wants Johnson, so be it. Just as long as if it goes wrong, he accepts responsibility and changes accordingly.

Going to stop being a grump and take the good news that we've been given.

I'm happy with the SpD and think Johnson is an ok appointment.

But all that is dwarfed by the fact the owners appear to have basicaly just wiggled about a bit, using someone elses money to keep control. Particularly is the 40/40 split between Satori and this other fella is true.

I’m not sure to be honest.

Takeover still hasn’t been announced, but appointments being made. What happens if it falls through? Would they risk that?

It just means that any outstanding issues aren't showstoppers. I've had a couple of hints related to things like the bail out. Timing issues.

They must really believe this bloke is the right choice if there was a decision to be made and they went with him over Poyet, given his relationship with the fans.

Donald is out, mentally if not physically, Methven will want his fingers in something, but with SD passive, what that is is entirely down to the other two.

Methvens involvement was always down to what others wanted he has always been a minority shareholder.
Rumours are or at least were that he was going to have some kind of role so it seems the majority shareholders want him there.

I'd genuinelly be excited with this, I think its a good appointment, if not for the Jim Rodwell bit, it means the 3 jokers are still having a say

Remember Jim Rodwell is very good mates with Methven, he appointed him

Anything tained with these people I can't just trust

will take a lot of time before I can. sorry but thats jusy how I feel.

Theres no good mates in business mate, hell get dropped like a bad smell if he makes a big enough boo-boo.
 
Mind, I’ve been wanting this sort of setup and appointment for years, so if the takeover doesn’t come off then I’ll acknowledge Donald needs credit for it.

You're assuming Donald has any remaining interest, other than a slug of cash down the line. Take Donald out (abstaining on any vote), and K L-D and JS have to work together.
