I understand that mate. And if all he’s going to be is a minor shareholder who has absolutely no input whatsoever in any capacity then I’ll hold me nose until he’s just a bad memory. What does concern me is if the majority shareholders do give him any kind of role then I’d seriously question their judgement. Alls said and done there’s nowt I can do personally as I’ll just have to wait and see, but speaking for myself it would be a huge kick in the nuts if that twat had any involvement at all. Additionally I wouldn't trust him to keep his Pimms hatch shut.

This for me. I’ll stomach him hanging on for his payday if he stays silent and in the background. Never want to see him discuss the club or fans again or have any position at the club where he makes decisions.

Stay down south, keep his gob shut and take his money if/when we get promoted

Gordon Armstrong being critical on Twitter is nothing new.


He can be voted off the board by Dreyfus and Sartori (if indeed he's restored to it in the first place0, and there's sod all he could do about it. It could be a bit like LBJ appointing one of his opponents to his cabinet. His reasoning? "I'd rather have him inside the tent pissing out than outside pissing in".

He was right last time though wasn't He?

I think that was pretty obvious. The idea of a 22 year old taking over the club is for the birds. Presuming there’s even an ounce of truth in it, I presume little will change at boardroom level and regarding day-to-day running of the club. I still maintain nothing will happen for a long, long time.

He’s only a inherited billionaire, other than that we know very little about him. Who knows, Methven May be able to get his claws into him, metaphorically, and exert more influence on the club. Talk of new managers and sporting directors etc. is delusional. I ask again, why would someone buy a football club in the current climate? No one has a clue what state our fanbase will be in, after the two world wars attendances spiked, could go the other way this time. Would love to see figures for how many are buying the streams.

Another porky to add to the list. He’s catching up with Trumpy 😂😂😂
 
I can't believe anyone would try to rationalise Methven's involvement, given his words about us. This is entirely about his conduct which in itself suggests that he does not have respect for us as fans. That ship has sailed, there can be no defence of him having any substantial part of any new regime.

Listen to this and ask yourself whether this is someone who holds us in anything other than contempt:
