Takeover Rumours

apologies if already posted
there was a really posh private helicopter flying really low up the coast this morning, it wasn't a run of the mill one, it was a top of the range job, and big for a private one tbh (very dark grey in colour from what I could see)
it was coming in from the south, went right along the coast of teeside heading towards seaham hall, it started decending, but I couldn't make out if it was as far up as seaham (can anyone substantiate this ?) it looked like they were taking the coastline in as they came in to land, bit of sightseeing etc...….

I don’t have an agenda. I believe they got this football club for a song and yes, have done some work around cutting costs. I have never been a fan of them, from getting supporters in to replace the seats to the twitter presence, the denigration of agents via the podcasts, the undermining of the manager with the 100 point malarkey, the different accounts of the money that was used to purchase the club, the direct criticism of our fans following defeat at Wembley when we had 3-4K unsold tickets, the complete and utter mishandling of the Josh Maja situation and so on. That isn’t an agenda, that is just my take from their time at the club. I accept other people see things differently and if having them here means that we move on with what look to be serious investors, then fair enough. What I have never been able to accept is the complete disregard on this board for an alternative view to their presence.

It should also be noted that Donald has carried out many differing aspects of genuine human kindness during his time here and the people he has affected during that will be forever grateful. I completely understand and respect that.

None of it is saying he is a bad man, he isn’t. But at the same time, I don’t want him running this place.

A fair and reasoned response.

I will be eternally grateful for what they have done for SAFC, however this has not come without the odd mistake and ill-minded comment. Overall thought I think they have done a cracking job and would not begrudge them if they were to stay on and manage things (with guidance) for the foreseeable.

Never slated BSA, so gets your facts right , all I said was I don’t find his style of play entertaining

Could you provide a better style of play? Have you ever managed before?

This is literally your go to nonsense. Its embarrassing as I'm sure you'll notice.

They've definitely done well on the business side. Not as well on the football side

Changing the football side takes a lot longer, this has been a losing club for years , plus I don’t think they have done that bad if we had got another 5 or 6 points last season people would of said they have done a good job if we had went up. And I think this season we will go up even though a lot on here don’t like Ross

Agree to an extent but losing a play off final to a goal with the last kick is pretty close to achieving their objective on the field too.

The margin for error is so thin in football.

It's not like they sorted the finances but we finished 15th.
 
Big sam might be good as a director of football. You need contacts and he has plenty of them. Which we surely need if we are to progress.

We were never winning that game, even after the gift of an early lead. I think most supporters knew we’d be beat in ET if that late winner didn’t come. Pathetic ‘performance’.

From that point they've turned us around off the field, particularly financially, and generated a much better culture and atmosphere. We sold more season tickets this season than last and they have embraced some wonderful initiatives like the flags in the south stand.

People keep saying this based purely on SD and CM telling them it

I'd be kind if I were to say recruitment has been mediocre.

Given the resources we had finishing 5th was pretty disappointing.

Think you will find your embarrassing everything you say is just rubbish you need to log off. First you say I slated BSA and know you realise your wrong you just keep coming back with more rubbish, I am a manager now all be it not professional but have my preferred style of play, if I was manager of safc I would have my preferred style of play. This argument of yours has literally nothing to do with running a football club
