The news today ties in with what Barnes said. It explains why DD is not an issue and could go through within 4-6 weeks (already passed Director test.

Satori came in to support us in the future, ie Prem (if we got there)

He's been focused on becoming president of his country. He clearly was not involved day to day and didn't invest much money. If he decides to take us on now, I'd imagine it would be completely different, especially with SD CM leaving.

He's obviously not got any skeletons in the cupboard, unlike the Chinese bloke,, the skint bloke and the pop bloke.

a redistribution doesn’t mean that is happening, it could mean they stay with a non controlling share. SD has always said he wants to be involved even if a takeover happens, thats probably a lot easier to do if JS is the majority

That just tells me you miss the drama and animosity Bob causes. Prehab gives what info he can with no drama, isn’t in it for attention, think he genuinely just wants to keep fellow fans informed.

Agree about prehab but not about Bob, he's entitled to his view about this forum being full of idiots.

I haven’t got any idea what’s going on but if I was going to bet on an outcome I’d bet on SD and CM still being involved in some way. Whether it’s Sartori no idea. I just think SD wants his cash and no one will pay the full price he wants so this will be his fall back. I just hope whoever it is long term committed and is ballsy enough to move the ship in another direction. I’d imagine Sartori’s lass will be gutted mind when she moves from her place in Monaco to her flat above the shops In Hendon.

Yeh agree,
Two problems an owner who is either totally deluded or just flat out greedy, if he thinks he’s getting £37m and nobody really knows 💯if he will even pay back the loan he owes to yanks of another £10m.
COVID effect on business and especially FC’s that rely on people coming through the gate.
So yeh won’t happen unless owners soften there stance imo, on everything we have seen from the owners that’s not happening.

Nobody has a clue if it's happening or not. Barnes said probably wouldn't be a update till end end of august we aren't even half way through august

Some time and goodwill for what purpose ?

Well selling the club is going to be very very difficult. He knows that the most likely outcome of the summer is that he remains the owner and has to try and get through the next season.

Financially, it benefits him if we think there'll be a new owner soon and more people buy season cards, buy shirts etc. If he can get through the summer and winter windows, he'll have bought himself a whole season to try and figure out a sale or have another crack at getting us up.

To my knowledge he's invested a quid! (which he paid to SD not to SAFC or Ellis Short).

I reckon we're being had completely here. Said it from the start, but all this smacks of Donald trying to buy himself some time/goodwill when he has none and the entire narrative is against him.

The idea that the takeover may be Sartori is a classic example. It could never be disproved, but equally, how underwhelming would it be if the ultimate outcome was that Sartori owned us from far afield, while Donald's gang of lackeys continued to run us day to day?

I don't think anyone is coming in to buy us as it stands - and I think they'd frankly be utterly insane to do it if there's even a 10% chance of wage limitations in the next 1-2 years. Such a massive risk.

Do people think a takeover happens over night!! All this SD is making it up is just rubbish,, he has nothing to gain by staying

Donald is allegedly the big stumbling block with regard to any takeover/investment. The FPP takeover died at the last minute and remember within a short space of time Donald allegedly told people at a Consett branch SAFCSA meeting that he didn’t know if they’d keep him and the other shareholders at the club, before then contradicting this statement on BBC Newcastle’s Total Sport programme by stating that FPP were investing in him and Madrox as opposed to SAFC as such. Bizarre.
Sartori and Methven allegedly have their own ideas and contacts with regard to who may be interested in moving our club forward and they are supposedly different to Donald’s ideas.
There is definitely something going on at the moment but only time will tell if it comes to fruition as the FPP takeover was as good as done before a last ditch collapse.

What’s your gut feeling about what’s going on behind the scenes right now?

My gut feeling? I think he's talking to someone or a group of someones, and a lot of disinformation is coming from all directions to make sure those someones aren't identified.
