If his backers are a private equity firm then I'm troubled by this. It will be incredibly difficult for us to succeed if the hierarchy are only concerned about profit.

He said in an interview that he was always wary of getting involved in consortiums because they usually mean a lack of funds. He's either happy that his backers are serious, or full of shit. Only time will tell.

He is part of a group but doesn't need financial backers. His family formed then sold A-Plan Insurance before being early stage investors in both Go Compare and Hastings Direct before selling. He then started and built Bridle Insurance in its own right and has invested in a host of other businesses. He is plenty wealthy enough to get us promoted.

I knew about this last Saturday (21/4) . Had to keep it to myself but got pissed off when i saw Nixon et al doling out shite that nothing was happening. There's a couple of posters could back me up as they had the odd Pm.
Seriously, it's pathetic how the media go on. Always lads on here who know before anyone.

This lad has been spot on with every bit of info since Friday.

New owner. Nice bloke, very switched on and a very good businessman. Heard a few people saying he hasn't got enough cash to take this on.
You're wrong.
Had interests in Go Compare (heard of them?) and Hastings Direct (heard of them?). Plenty of cash and also serious backers from elsewhere. This is the best thing to happen to the club in a long long time so get behind him and lets see where he can take us.
Won't be a quick fix but we finally have someone who is up for the challenge and wants to get us where we belong.
Keep the Faith.

Hope you are right mate. Mr Donald comes with a good reputation. Hope he has lots of rich friends.

The mittens lad is an interesting one. He can only be one of only a few people.

I have my suspicions.

He's nowt to do with ALS or any fan group necessarily.
He's written published stuff about Ellis Short
He loved Chris Coleman with a passion

I'm getting the word **** ************

Such a terrible user name though A children's nursery rhyme. Bit sort of noncey.
