the original statement said the sale was agreed by both old and new members of the board didn't it
Either way, it sounds like the new board made a promise to PDC and then broke it, almost immediately. Can't blame him if he walks. |

The worst bit for me is the prospect of going from a club owned by multi-millionaire astute businessmen with a world renowned manager, to a club owned by a double glazing salesman and his mates with a lower league has-been for a manager.
The sooner we find out who this consortium is, the better.
Indeed. The worst thing is the (potentially) regression in ambition. Being a run of the mill lower league club going no where just isn't the same. |

This. It's beginning to feel reminiscent of the pre-Fitton days. |

Perhaps the money simply isn't there with the new owners who infact have little money if none whatsoever?

Agree with Samdy, but surely the new owners have the funds to help progress the club?
If not it'd be like me going out and buying a Ferrari. I could probably afford the monthly payments but not to run the motor.
Very worrying times.

Or worse, a consortium unable to even service costs. Or no takeover whatsoever. SNAFU. |

Yes, find new owners within the next few weeks or administration |

We survive off the Ritchie money until someone else steps in/ we run out. Black stays at the helm but puts no more money in. In that respect, the sale makes sense. Guarantees immediate future whatever happens. |

I do suspect that the potential new owners do not have enough capital to even start running our club
If they don't (and I pray they do) then the FL will not OK the sale
if this is a cock-up it is the current board who are responsible

Yeah, but you could sell your mum's house and use the money to make a few monthly payments. Then dump it when the money runs out. |

You think a strongly worded letter writing campaign will help? |

Just a friendly visit, chat over a cuppa, anyone have a 4x4 to plough through his front gates? |
