Can't quite believe the article in the adver by Sturrock today. Can't quite put my finger on my disatisfaction but there is something about today's article that smells a little fishy to me. Link : http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/display.var.1559628.0.sturrocks_plans_on_ice.phpWhen we had no 'investor', we were able to sign players, including one for a fee if the press are to be beleieved. All of Sturrock's meetings with the investor's have gone well according to his statements. And now, weeks down the line, "takeover talks have "frozen" potential transfer dealings". I suppose the other side of the argument will be that due diligence needs to be completed and that will determine the level of investment and therefore the transfer fund but for some reason this leaves me with a bitter taste in my mouth. It can only be that there has been so much crap coming out of SN1 in the last few weeks that this is just more of the same. :chunder: |

Exasperated is the word I would use but I am very hopeful by the time I am back from Austria I will have a clearer picture of what is happening at this football club.
That is a worrying statement to come from a Manager IMO. |

All the article says to me is that Sturrock is trying to get the process sped up by making such comments. Obviously if these investors do take over he's been promised a budget, he wants it asap so it makes sense for him to voice his frustrations.

As a manager, you are forced to use diplomatic language (as Sturrock has been doing for months). If you wanted to put these comments through a translator to find his true feelings, I think you would find he's absolutely livid and as worried about the future as the rest of us.
Let's ne honest...if another club were to approach PS with an attractive managerial position, would you really blame him for showing an interest (contract considerations aside)? Neither would I.
Not good enough.

He will when this fucking bullshit make believe "investor" falls through and we're left with -10 points and a winding up order :roll: Tbh though i think we can safely say that this investor(s) really does exist. Why we appoint Rufus Brevett? Whether or not a deal gets done remains to be seen. |

You really think so Rich? I'm a bloody investor for fucks sake, we all are. It doesn't mean we're going to pay the CVA though does it? Personally I see this whole facade as another bullshit time buying exercise for that cunt Diamandis. I've not believed any of this shite from the start, and it still looks like a big scam to me. I hope I'm wrong but I can't see any positives coming from anywhere at the moment. Not one.

You could say the same about the Fans Consortium being a facade for Bill Power to take over the club....

No I couldn't. There is no facade at all with the FC, which is the beauty of the idea. You think it was all a facade?

I don't think that, but until he takes over the club and runs it (if ever) then we won't ever know.
Isn't the Fans Consortium made up of other backers (supposedly)? I don't know their identities either.
