Don’t be surprised. There was about a month after the holding company Donald used was registered and the actual handover. Because the holding company is registered doesn’t mean the transfer of shares is done. For all intents and purposes it’s done just might still be a short wait til it’s actually announced.

I would say the majority of safc fans think that stewart donald is the last person to have a go at in all things safc
I really don't know why anyone would have an anger like you have against him. He's engaged with the fans from day 1 he's openly admitted he isn't mega rich but he's always done what he thinks is best for safc

Seriously you need to have a look at yasel as you come across as a strange fucker

Park the finances as I am not getting into it.

However (and this is all I really care about) is what happens on the pitch. He has employed people at the club to run football operations and they have and continue to fail spectacularly. We continue to regress week by week with a squad made up of plodders and Aidan McGeady. If it wasn’t for the latter we would be toast.

His record at Eastleigh was as bad if not worse.
Is that good enough or do I need to write in abusive language to you?

Just listened to clip on YouTube. It’s certainly Mr Donald, quite unprofessional really. If he is to stay on after the takeover we should be worried and so should the new majority shareholders.

Just done the same and I agree unprofessional, sounds like a pissed up fan which he can't be really.

Especially not talking about his current manager, I agree with what he is saying but he needs to he saying it to Jack not random fans in the pub. I think Jack Ross is marking time here, when they start banging on about fans expectations whilst ignoring the fact their team is playing shite they on a slippery slope. We wont keep getting points while being shite will we?

I want Ross to succeed, not cause I have any particular affection for him I want anyone to succeed. As I've said before I'd be chuffed with Pol Pot as manager with Hitler as assistant and Idi Amin as the goalkeeping coach, if we were doing well.
 
There's no way they'd play NFL games here like. They only play in London, Mexico City or the odd game in Canada. They'd go to Germany before they added a game in a small city with a fairly small stadium.

As much as I'd love it there's no chance, it'd be like if the Premier League played games in New York for 10 year and then started playing games in Wichita, Kansas.

You actually make some fair points there, I'm sure Donald wouldn't be giving himself full marks on the football side either, he certainly sounded absolutely gutted after the play off final and felt that he'd failed, thus far I don't think we can be massively confident of a better outcome from this season either. That being said we can't really just park the finances, it is a side (along with the openness and engagement etc) that he has done very well at, well enough in fact that we've now attracted some incredibly serious investors which is highly likely to see the on the pitch part improve quite dramatically over the next few years. Giving reasoned criticism is fair enough, but some don't seem able to temper it by also giving due praise (and to be fair some only seem to see the good)

He has given the manager the best squad in the league both seasons he has been here
