Crikey this rollercoaster is wild. Fans really don’t deserve this. Just can’t get my head around how Martin thinks this is acceptable. Running us into the ground purposefully and not paying the poor staff. It’s worthy of jail IMHO, let alone not being allowed to run a community asset. It’s honestly shameful and if he can stoop this low, what else is he capable of?

Something will have to give soon, this pain cant continue (although what follows could be worse). The sale either goes through, or falls through, and if its the latter I can't see us surviving. RM has given up, and no one else is going to jump in and save us at this late stage. One way or another this part of the SUFC saga has to be over by next Wednesday.

Blimey, it's quiet on here today. Maybe that's a positive sign. Oh for a positive sign.

Agreed, ominously. We fans really have no clue if we have reason for hope or if our club is on course to no longer exist this time next week.

Should we be hopeful or seriously concerned, ITK’s?

On reflection I reckon it's better to be a hopeful ITK. If you are a seriously concerned ITK, then it's better to not be ITK at all. :Winking:

I think it is quite possible and indeed likely that someone will jump in and save us if this sale doesn't go through . Things are nowhere near as bad as you imagine . Keep the faith, my friend .

Really, I think they are rock bottom at the moment, which our current owner has put us in this dire situation.

I think your crystal ball needs a good clean. You seem as deluded as Martin, if that is possible 🤔
 
Judging from the Article CP put out yesterday I still remain cautiously optimistic it'll be done before next Weds, it simply has to be for all parties to be satisfied. The line from Winstone "The people that are going in there have great intentions" says to me that regardless of circumstance it's still likely to happen, but yes it's probably last minute haggling due to liabilities, creditors and whatever else DD has thrown up. Remember it's in the buyers interests for it to go as late as possible as it means the selling party (RM) have minimal time to find and explore alternative solutions.

While everyone from players to staff to fans are acceptable collateral damage, to Ronald anyway…
