Prehab said he knows but can't say as it would give away his contacts. Hoping it is a sign that names might be starting to leak though as he said he didn't know a few weeks ago

I know one person saying he knows but no one is divulging any names or specifics.

If the odd person does know specific details putting it on here would be stupidity as the club do monitor this board and additionally the potential nee owners will scrutinise social media too during the purchase procedure and any leaks would be frowned upon to the extent where it could scupper any arrangements.

At extreme financial cost that would eventually be our undoing. Short wasn’t in charge for all of that time either. I have a lot of time for him and can’t criticise his intentions.There were some good times but he himself would be the first to admit that his tenure was characterised by missed opportunities, failed strategies, poor recruitment and wasteful expenditure.

I like Short. But he has to own the fact that he left the running of SAFC to charlatans and chancers and ultimately destroyed the club by doing so.

The new language from the club and the ITK's has been more positive on new people. That's why I am currently 90/10 that we'll get a new owner, and 50/50 on whether it's JS taking a majority or someone new taking a majority.

What I will say is that when Charlie and Stew start getting creative in their descriptions of these transactions (think 'FPP investing in us') it's always good to be cautious...

Prehab's exact words, so everyone knows what is the latest:



I think it's also worth pointing out (no criticism of prehab!):

'Share realignment' isn't actually a real term, or certainly not one that has a defined meaning. It's a euphemism that CM and SD (I assume it started with them because it smells like their bullshit) have used to specifically describe whatever is happening in this deal.

My understanding of what they mean by it is that Donald is selling 31% or more of his shares to Sartori, who will then have a majority stake, while Donald will then have a minority stake. That's the only way it makes any remote sense.

The only 'favourable' thing I can think that would attach to this is that perhaps JS has secured some funding from somewhere to throw some money at us in the short term.

But if any new shareholders are inbound, I wouldn't think that the 'share realignment' would be the right term, which is... confusing!

Rodwell mentioned “buyers” in the latest announcement (about cancelling the RAWA meeting). How would that tie in?

We heard all of this weeks ago. And because a cancelled RAWA meeting and the statement. Perfect opportunity for ITK’s to say they’ve heard something positive. As they normally do after any interaction like this.

Well the reason I trust prehab is that @Guinness Guzzler has vouched for him. Plain and simple, I think GG would say if he thought it was bollocks.

It's definitely amusing watching other ITK's pretend this is also what they've been hearing all along though. I think for some, they feel that literally anyone buying the club might make people forget that their specific info was completely different.

To call a meeting off the day before is still nothing short of ignorant
A . Something changed dramatically late on
B. They just took coward way out

Only one of above.

Totally B, there is nothing happening, I can hear Charlie now, “ If we play this right, those thick northerners will swallow our bullshit story about a takeover for even longer, till maybe January, February we just keep kicking the can down the road Stewart”
All that’s Perfect.

I've just got my first piece of information for a few weeks and can confirm that this definitely ties in with what I've heard there mate
