    Exactly mate.

    At one time that happening to a L1 side, or peddling the most popular player, would've sounded ludicrous.

    Now, people just accept it as common knowledge.

    And, as I keep saying, FPP are currently the biggest investors in the club.

    The idea they'd go through EFL checks, due diligence, feasibility studies, flights, solicitors fees, etc just to lend a few million is just daft imo.

    They just want the club on their terms.

    Tbh I will be happy when we consign messrs donald, methven, sartori to a small appendix in our history books.
    They are not the sort of people we need at a club that we hope aspires to integrity, decency, morality etc

    Can’t see sd selling before the summer now , we are right in the mix for promotion, if he holds out for another 4 months he could get an extra 40m+

    Bad memory you've got Fulwell.
    At the very least he sorted out Ndong, Rodwell and Dilybodji.
    The club is in a better position than 20 months ago but lets not give credit where it is due eh?

    Fulwell Bri knows as much about Safc as George Best knows about temperance.
    Clueless.

    Oh no, I've got the RTG big hitters coming over to see what I'm saying then going back over there to disagree.

    There's some clever lads, over there, who don't actually know anything at all ...

    ... but they're always really quick at contradicting you <laugh>

    A club spiralling out of control and falling into the abyss with an owner who lost interest and cut off funding.
    Donald steadied the ship and pushed for promotion.
    And we are pushing again.
    I'm happy with him so far.

    Will he be forgiven for his petulance if we go up?

    I'd forgive anyone who has the clubs best interest at heart.
    Not saying he has but i think he has and not just to earn a buck although I won't begrudge him if he helps get us up.
    There's a lot of young uns only know us mostly in the prem and want instant success,
    just as petulant or more.
    Rome wasn't built in a day and i realise SD hasn't the financial clout to build a city but i do think he's putting good foundations in from the ruins ;)
