Wouldn't trust him to spend it anyway, he'd be looking for basketball players..

Donald says that isn't a problem in this league.

Unless he only said that to shut the fans up?

This club is set up for more than that. Premier league ground and training facilities, stuck in league one with a conference league owner.

No wonder sir Bob is angry at our position. We're much better than this, we're being held back.

Aye this is true sir Bob is really annoyed at things and to think we didn't appreciate things at the time. I've heard him a few times and seen him on TV recently. Put yourself in his shoes.

Bob laid all the foundations, and now they're in fpp's hands if SD doesn't pay back a 10m loan secured on those foundations.

Lets hope fpp have good intentions if they happen to capitalise on sd's potential failure to pay back that loan.

Otherwise we're in unknown territory. If that ever happens, FPP might not even be interested in running a football club, they might only see this as just another deal where they get a business on the cheap, then flip it to ANYONE as long as they make a bit profit on their initial 10m outlay.

Sir Bob and all of us have every right to be concerned, SD has effectively mortgaged the future of this club hoping for a bit of profit.
