Stewart Donald



We need a buyer to emerge for him to sell to ....

it's most likely to be over the summer now : he's all-in with Parkinson
 
He’ll not sell up. Methven was happy to resign from the board, cut all ties and still keep his stake. Donald will probably do the same, he’s building us to be self sustainable in league 1 so he doesn’t have to invest
 
Methven still got his 6% share.

Exactly mate. Will keep it whilst disappearing into the wilderness. He’ll wait till someone is willing to pay big money for it before getting rid.

Donald would be happy with a self sustainable model where he doesn’t have to invest in the club. He can ride it for afew year, hope there’s a promotion in there then just sell for more money. The f***ing whopper will make money regardless after using the clubs money to pay Short.

I don’t think he’s a bad fella but he’s now badly harming the investment he made.

he isn’t a bad fella but he took a gamble and it is backfiring badly and he does not know the way out. This is a football club with a huge following if he thought we would slip into the wilderness quietly he is much mistaken. If this continues he will not be able to attend matches as the fans will be at his throat !
 
Please do the honourable thing and sell up. You have no idea what you are doing.

You were a failure at Eastleigh and you're a failure here.

Sell up, fuck off and stay away from football forever (unless you want to buy Newcastle from Ashley).

There isn't exactly a queue of people wanting to buy the club, hence why SD owns it now. People wanting him to 'just leave / sell' don't seem to understand this

Self sustainable isn't a negative in itself, a lot of people seem to think this. We should be self sustainable, there chances of someone coming along again wanting to put £100m plus of their own money into transfers and wages are slim.

People aren't getting it.

Nothing is going to happen quickly. FPP aren't desperate to take on a failing League One club and have to potentially go through two big phases of change to get to the premier league. They are the only people he can sell to or even negotiate with right now without losing everything, and leaving his own £20m+ debt to the discretion of the new owners.

I want Donald gone, but I'll say this, the earliest we would start to see serious movement on this would be 2021. Buckle up.

He can't sell without FPP's permission - it's in the loan conditions.
