Parky said that he looked forward to meeting the new owners and telling them his thoughts on what was needed in order to move forward. I think that we could all agree what needs to be number one on the list Parky lad.

I'm sure Dreyfus etc will be looking forward to hearing Jurrasics plans to bring in a 38 year old centre back in January.

This does not sound like a takeover to me more shuffling of deck chairs.

you cant expect someone to takeover and then rid the club of top end management straight away! These things will take time and of course things will be in the pipeline and people will be expected to perform, but the short term goal (look it up Parky) is to get it right on the football side first
Anyone who expects them to come in and throw the axe at every head in the first week aren't being realistic.
And those who keep repeating this shite about shuffling the deck chairs aren't even using the correct metaphor, unless they helicoptered someone in to take charge of most of the chairs seconds before it hit a giant ice cube

So what? That was the paper you were quoting. No deal has been done. However, potentially we have a billionaire takinng 60% of Donald's shares to immediately become the major new influence of the club. There is a concern regading his age but there is no doubt he is steeped in football having shares in OM. You have basically read a couple of purely speculative articles by local journos and decided that its a 'shuffling of the deck chairs'. If I took over a club I would look at what is working and what is not and act accordingly - where it goes from here is down to the ambition of the young man. Bringing in a football brain as has been suggested seems sensible.
Donald will have no influence unless the major shareholder wants him to. However, it appears you have written this off because a couple of speculative, premature local articles.

So new man comes in with 60% of the shares and it isn't a takeover.

Two comfy deck chairs at the helm and two piss stained ones in the stores.
The Northern Echo piece is just a rehash of French story. No new information. As you were.
