Also if the board are putting nails in there own coffin, then they are either, a) not in it, or b) nailing it from the inside.
Not sure where either leaves the metaphor.

I think my point was lost way back when it became an argument on positivity or negativity. What I was trying to say was by Sturrock saying in the press he NEEDS a higher playing budget to do well he has increased the pressure on the board to either have an investor (i.e not make one up) or sell to the consortium.

Fucks sake.
Give them a fucking chance.
I thought we'd been doing that for the past five odd years, no?

Lets face it. SSW / Diamandis / someone does not want to sell to the consortium.
Its not going to happen, especially if this "mystery investor" turns out to be real and puts a few million working capital into the club. So no, I dont think the board have put a nail in their coffin. They know they are disliked and a fair percentage of the fanbase properly hate them but they dont really seem to care. They are not going anywhere any time soon.

You're right Ralphy. We should all be thinking about Star Wars.

They could be working tirelesly behind the scenes to secure investment as they are in the last chance saloon, if this doesn't come off which should be the case as any succesful businessman would have to be insane to invest with them at the helm then I still see they have little choice but to sell up. There is every possibility they could be stalling on the NDA with the consortium as long as possible as they try every person they know in the desperate hope that someone wants to chuck money down the pan and if it all proves fruitless then just enter the NDA and sell the club.

A year ago I would have agreed with that , but A certain Mr B Power invested with them at the helm

I agree, if this investor turns out to be nothing we are well and truly fucked. Unfortunately there is very little I think we can do. The whole Bill Power thing just looks less and less like it will ever happen now. Its a shame, be nice to have someone who respects and understands the fans running the club.
I can see us getting relegated next year, low crowds, this then leads to an increase in ticket prices and us going to administration. Its a never ending circle.

He put 1 million in and it basically went missing on operating 'costs'. Would you invest having known the previous investor was shafted?
