I know a few people have touched on it in the other thread but thought it was quite important for people to not miss it so here you go

As I said in the other thread:

He does say the right things.

At times he spoke as though he thinks the court case is a formality. Already has scouts scouting for players (he says)

"Would I want to build the stadium?", he asks "Yeah I probably would". (But he'd want it 'ticked off' by the fans - he says)

His company has a turnover of 'a couple of hundred million' a year, according to Clem. I wonder what that would mean in terms of profit.

My thoughts copied from the other thread.

Lots to like, of course at the moment its only lip service but what he said was positive.

Getting fans and Don Rogers on the board sounds good to me.
Tarting up the stadium, can't be bad.
He has a CEO in mind as well as a scouting team so he's clearly done a lot of work behind the scenes to hopefully hit the ground running if he gets to take over.
Has spoken about keeping communications with fans open and transparent. I like the sound of the plans for the stadium but he stated any plans would be cross referenced with supporters, which sounds excellent.
Sounds realistic and ambitious.

Liked everything he had to say, and no Jed roarrr vibes!

Ambitious yet grounded - wasn't promising unrealistic expectations. Also glad that he appears to have sourced key staff and seems to have the groundwork already laid out should he win in September. Feared that if he won the case he may be a bit unprepared, but this video definitely alleviated that worry.

Also like that he seems to have a heavy focus on scouting. With how the game has gone, unearthing diamonds in the rough within a budget has become more and more important.

I honestly can’t see why anyone could possibly be adverse to him taking over. Some might wish for a Bournemouth type billionaire but for right here, right now, he sounds just like what we need.

I don't think anyone is adverse to it.

There's also no harm in fans performing their own form of 'due diligence' though.

Able emerging might put a cat amongst the pigeons but, for many, it's too late.

I have not seen a single person say they are averse to it.

 Neither have I. Just saying I can’t see a reason why anybody would be.

Good to see, albeit I thought Digby was employed by the club in some manner, if so interesting to see him chipping in...

It’s all well and good but I didn’t hear one mention of a bar in The Town End.

He did mention a Sports bar, it depends on what the plans are for each individual stand I guess

Not averse to Clem. He said a lot of things I want to hear.  He answered the question on return of his investment saying he didn't need the money. Given our track record of owners, that makes me nervous.

Talks the talk and came across like a decent bloke.

Hope it all goes through and he can walk the walk
