Just heard an interview with David Eland on ABC radio..
Basically saying terms have been agreed with new owners group, but will take a few weeks to finalise.. (So same thing that was hinted at a few weeks ago)..
I saw Matty write it up above (nice work, mate), but I couldn't help but chuckle when the interviewer was asking him if it was a "dun deel".. I'm going to go out on a limb and say it was accidental, seeing as how he referred to our coach as Scott McDonald..

least he's not afraid to sack the coach
That's not his club.
This, is his club.
The article is about his club though, despite Jeterpool getting the name wrong.
Rectified.

so with this ownership deal with this mystery consortium taking forever to be finalised its looking unlikely that any community engagement in the ownership will be likely to happen. We assume Thompson is involved in this consortium but details of who else are no where to be seen. I reckon when its finally completed this consortium will take over and community ownership wont even be mentioned. The ffa just made it seem like a possibility while they were conducting their member/business/community forums just to give fans and members some false hope and keep them as members for this season. Does it really have to be so secretive as to who is involved in this consortium and these talks. Whether the deal is completed or not it will eventually come out. Cant really see why the people involved have to be a secret it gives me the shits actually. What would have happened if all existing members refused to renew memberships until details were released or the deal was actually completed before they chose to renew or not. Its a business deal for a sporting team so why the need for secret squirrel talk. Just doesnt seem fair for members to pay money to be a part of something they know nothing about !
Whilst I would also love to know a bit more information. Most business transactions negotiations are commercial in confidence and to be honest I would be a bit worried if it were being all played out in public. Your membership/season tickets is money forked out to watch live football, that is still there regardless of ownership talks behind the scenes, we know who the players are, who is coaching them and you make a choice to either pay money to come watch or not. You are not buying shares and your membership is not going to increase or decrease in value dependent on ownership business like it would shares, therefore it is really not any business of anybody other that those parties involved from a business point of view.
I think there is more to being a member than just "money forked out to watch live football". Anyone can fork out money each week to go to a game and watch live football without being a member. Why the big push for membership drives these days ?. Being a member is making a financial commitment to a club to show support and helps fund the club before you even attend any games. I can watch every game at home live and give the team my support without giving them any money. I realise the details of the deal shouldnt be public knowledge. Just think it may be unfair for members to sign up and be kept in the dark for so long now. Being a member is meant to make you feel an important part of the club isnt it.
Ciftci, Mackay-Steven & Armstrong all gone to Celtic last season or before the start of this one. Plus they have McGowan at the backDundee U coming last in SPL after 10 games......hummmm....just saying
all gone a bit quite hasn't it.
I saw a tweet a week ago or so suggesting the ffa were asking for too much for the licence and that Thompson and co were refusing to pay that price. I guess they know they are the only one interested
So ahhhh.... Is this still a thing?
well De Bohun told us it should be done at end of the month - so we will see

Jimmy Gardiners Mail is that a deal is agreed in principle and the lawyers are looking over it. F@&King lawyers dragging things out as usual.
