    Comes round to the idea he acts more like a fan than a chairman?

    Yeah I think he loves the limelight, and he craves acceptance from fans and people in football. I think in some ways that does mean he'll try to find the best deal that balances his own interests and those of the fans though, because he'll be desperate for people to look back on his tenure as a success in some way.

    Nowt wrong with that, it's his baby. He is entitled to make a profit and protect his interest. He's put the hard work in the early months. I personally dont begrudge him that even tho its us that suffer. Unfortunately there's nothing we can do about it except be patient. Yet again.

    Like when people moan about players getting a ton of money for little work. Yes it’s obscene but you look out for number 1 first

    We look like we're not going up so can the Yank consortium just buy the club at a knockdown price asap and give us some hope?

    It seems like Donald won’t make enough money from that particular deal. He tried messing with better businessmen, got his fingers burnt, but it’s the club that suffers. The ****ing ****er

    I'm of the opinion now that there are no interested parties.
    Failure to even make the play offs could be a blessing in disguise

    I’m of the same opinion mate, right on renewal time, there are “5 parties interested”. He has ****ed up the biggest chance that this club has ever had. Detest the man

    You'd definitely think people would remember how foolish some of the OTT hot-takes and statements looked within a few weeks of Christmas before going in too hard.

    It was a bad result, but we can still get promoted. A few bad results and all hell has yet again broken loose. I wonder how many people screaming blue murder at Donald and Parkinson now were the same ones criticising the fans groups for their statements in January.

    Certainly not me, I’ve kept quiet about Parkinson since he put a few wins together, but that is only because the jury is still out after I gave him pelters for his start and I still don’t think he is the right man, long term and was just a cheap appointment. Donald can **** off as quick as he likes, nowt has changed there since the statements

    what will be will be..... I can't imagine Donald wants to hang on to this club if we are left in league 1. I hope against hope that someone out there will realise the massive potential we have and buy the club and give us some direction. But then again I always wanted to win Masters Golf in Augusta....

    Anyone with the money to buy us will now wait and watch as SD gets more desperate to sell, then snatch it for peanuts in the end. Mad not to.

    That squad would need serious investment to survive in the Championship. We are significantly worse than last season (23 points worse off at the corresponding stage). As we know Luton, Barnsley and Charlton were decent teams last year.

    Without significant investment, it’s going to get harder and harder to get out of this league with every passing year. We know from the lack of spending on transfer fees that Donald has not got the money.

    I wish he would go on BBC Newcastle and give us all an update.

    Donalds arse will completely fall out once they stop folk from attending live matches.

    He's about to get DP'd in the ass
