No you're absolutely right, from experience as the seller. It's mutually beneficial for both parties once it reaches the stage where the headline terms are broadly agreed.

For example, we had three interested parties, but one that was preferable to the others. Once we reached DD it was a matter of acting in good faith to act with exclusivity and defer any other potential interest until the primary investor is resolved.

So if he's negotiating with others, the MSD deal could well be at best stalled to the point that he no longer wishes to give them the impression that they're his only option. Doesn't really bode well for where the progress is.

Maybe the Americans are playing the long game knowing they’ll be able to buy the club for pennies on the pound if we stay down?

I completely fabricated this before it ends up in The Sun.

And ‘death warrant’ is a widely used expression, folk use it when a manager is about to get fired etc, there was no suggestion the lad meant someone was gonna cap Stu. If that was ever gonna happen Moyes wouldn’t be walking the streets <laugh>

No suggestion you say? Shocking saying or sharing on social media.

Apologies if I've misread your post.

‘Death Warrant’ is often used as a metephorical term, meaning something has to end.

The lad wasn’t suggesting somebody was gonna take Stu out.

Social media is a weird place full of weird people and things get taken out of context when they wouldn't if it was face to face. Best be really careful with metaphors as I'm not sure every reader fully understands the concept

Wasn’t my quote mate, I just think people are flying off the edge over everything at the minute and they need to breathe a bit.

I think the most important thing with saying stuff like that is not that anyone seriously believes they'd do it, but that the subject then gets the cop out of 'I've had death threats on social media' and they just use that to play a victim card that deflects from real issues like 'can we have a manager please?' for example.

I think it's pretty cold to imply Donald is making up death threats against his family but this lad agrees 100%

Another thinly veiled attack on Stewart Donald, you have no way of knowing what his private messages contain and yet you are prepared to question his word.
