Re: “ Sell before we Dai “ supporters action group v2.2

And your alternative plan is? Not my job I'm afraid. The protest group deliberately excluded HNA, they have made their choices and will have to live with them. Ah right, so if only they had issued a gold-plated invitation to you personally, you'd be able to give them the benefit of your wisdom and ...

Yeah that will show them Delboy. And your alternative plan is? Not my job I'm afraid. The protest group deliberately excluded HNA, they have made their choices and will have to live with them.

Re: “ Sell before we Dai “ supporters action group v2.2

So here are my thoughts on reforms that should happen in football. A governing body should be given the power to take control of a club (possibly following a court order) in situations like ours. That governing body then appoints an entity to run the club and arrange the sale of the club, for an in...

Re: “ Sell before we Dai “ supporters action group v2.2

Rubbish. I don't say Dai is to blame for everything Gourlay did because he appointed him. I blame Dai for appointing him, doing nothing to oversee him, agreeing all the budgeting and spending, overruling him on Moore's sale and contract and so on. People try to scapegoat Gourlay for absolutely ever...

Re: “ Sell before we Dai “ supporters action group v2.2

It really is baffling how people still can't quite grasp it. It is, but I also file under people blaming Dai for Ron Gourlay. Ian seems the first to chime in when someone blames the Fit and proper test, and rightly so btw, he is, of course, correct on this. But is also the first person to jump in a...

Re: “ Sell before we Dai “ supporters action group v2.1

Oh lord. Lets be real, we all knew it would end up going this way. Soft. All efforts should have been put into the first league game of the season, doing things at PSF's have little or no impact. So we have: No manager (officially) A winding up order in place Barely any established first team playe...

Re: Fans’ takeover

Any fan ownership wouldn't last long. #SellBeforeWeDai have looked into this ( STAR ) and found that in most case's the Clubs have to find a wealthy long-term buyer after a couple of years. We really need to hope the next buyer is a decent one, but I've lost all faith in that after the corrupt Zing...

Re: “ Sell before we Dai “ supporters action group v2.1

The club shouldn't be owned by someone who (for whatever reason) would allow key obligations to go unpaid for any period of time. This is key, even if we get organised over the summer, restrictions are lifted and we were to start to have some forms of success he's shown he cannot be trusted. The nu...

I listened back to the #SellBeforeWeDai podcast this morning and the way that little kid - who just wanted to talk about the manager - was treated was disgusting.

Re: “ Sell before we Dai “ supporters action group v2.0

I thought this was foolishness, wanting to get rid of an owner who is putting money into the club, albeit badly. Who is going to buy him out? But the drip drip drip of financial bad news and incompetence just keeps coming, and we face a third season with points deductions. I'm 100% Dai out as of la...
