Are people genuinely convincing themselves that this might be a good thing?
This is my thinking. The club seem to be trying to keep him onside, which suggests they believe he has backers.
Ah right cheers. I was kind of basing it on there being no photos, I guess people were just being respectful.
He made a couple of implications he thought it was bollocks on the radio interview alone. I’d imagine it’s a nuisance and gets in the way of his billionaire aspirations while most people who get it are minions working for billionaires trying to graft for their food.
My mate said people were still going over but I think the bit up the steps is the restaurant and with everything being table service you can’t just wander about so they weren’t mobbed
Totally agree but Donald is only going to sell if people have money - there can be no stupid games with the parachute. So this is really not about Storey but who are his 4 backers.
Credit to him. He’s done his homework. His marketing is good. It’s just that he appears to have no product. It’s his product that’s a hoax not COVID.I’m listening to his interview again, no doubt about it he’s been reading this board “Ellis heart in the right place” “selling talent from the academy” “wonderful academy”
I still wouldn't want him. He'd still be the figurehead and the chairman and it's not about money, it's about competence and he's already shown enough for me to conclude that he doesn't have sound judgement.
Storey's very public tour of the town centre was designed to attract attention but for what purpose and whose benefit? I doubt if prospective buyer's are required to provide Donald with a detailed description of the interior of Jacky White's when making their bid or that many of them feel the need hang around the Bridges.
I agree with that BUT if he has persuaded 4 x serious backers who actually do impress us then he has done something which shows more substance than any of us think. The difference would be that Donald bought the club despite not having the money whereas Storey's backers would have to have the money.
NDA
If it's only their money and worth that impresses us then I'd take no more reassurance from that.
Again, Storey's 'story' (no pun intended) is that we will be impressed by them as people. Like everyone I take his comments with a pinch of salt but where I am curious is that SAFC know who his backers are and are willing to talk on that basis. It suggests his bid has some substance which is a surprise given his track record.
