Sale is close - Barnsey

[one footed wonder]

Whatever is going on, it is amazing that we are in this position. When we were previously playing at this level finding a director who had a spare £50 k to throw into the pot was a major thing. Here we are and people talking about billionaires in multiples.

What we have to realise is that, people who make that sort of money are generally very careful and do not like to lose money or throw money away. If we are going to be run by Venture Capitalists or investors of that type, they will want a return and they will want it in accordance with their plans. They will expect the people who are running the club to deliver profits on a return on investment basis, otherwise they will be out.

Football will be a commodity in their portfolios not some vanity project.

From all of the various rumours, it sounds like that is the type of options that may be available to us or more importantly to the current shareholders to allow them to sell or make an arrangement based on future success / returns.

Whether they are billionaires or not, I don’t expect massive spending or massive success but I would expectnothing less than getting back into the Premier League.

My head tells me that Donald knows this and he will struggle to give up that chance of future return and will fight to retain shares in a company somewhere into the company entities structure. If Sartori and co are at the table that will be his opportunity to do so.

Absolutely this, bloke has no idea how to make a success of it himself but knows deep down that it can be a massive success and wants a piece of it....any deal will be, first and foremost, for his own benefit.

I can't believe someone can be a successful business man and be so petty. Then I remember people saying he was born into it and has just had to keep.his money ticking over.

What a pathetic bloke he is. Quite simply he can't afford to run the club, he might be able to run a normal league 1 club but we have a set up above that so costs are much more. That's even if we forget all the other stuff, he just doesn't have the funds and will continue to strip the club to save.

He gambled and it failed, he could go now and save him self a bit of money.

I have worked with a few successful business men inside and outside football, most worth several hundreds of millions and they have all been very petty.
Once worked on a £1.1bn deal which broke down because the two men involved started a pissing contest and refused to back down over nothing.

Roker Park was never the same when they chopped the top half off the Roker End. I believe the capacity of RE was more than 20k in it's heyday and was still 18,000 before it was part demolished.

The main stand looks bigger as well without that tier of seats
