It's the total amount for the club, from memory.

Although if it's accurate then it's almost there, subject to due diligence being completed and not throwing up any curve balls and then subject to regulatory approval, which sounds like they have already got a verbal OK from the SFA.

Leeds aren't in a position to pay dividends so I doubt cash has been taken out. Their balance sheet makes horrible reading as they have net liabilities in excess of £100m. Interestingly enough, they are due to pay over £21m in bonuses if they get promoted!

2-0 Dessers

Yeah, that's one of the risks. At least the current owners have got an emotional connection and are happy to fund. There will be a number of pros and cons about the takeover. Let's just hope the cons are minimised.

If the 49ers control 51% then the Parks 11.5% largely become irrelevant.

So fully responsible for not forcing us to sell half our squad, still being able to buy players like Igamane and reaching the last 16 in Europe. I know you only want to look at them as being the big bad and refuse to see any positives but things could be a hell of a lot worse if it wasn't for them.

It's too simplistic to suggest that it's all down to woeful decisions. Yes, that's part of it, but so is the ambition to win the league and do well in Europe. They could have reduced budgets and playing quality (!) to balance the budget, rather than willing to overspend with the knowledge that they may have to put in financial support, and we'd potentially be even further behind in the league and out of Europe. Yes, they've made mistakes and they're having to help fund the running of the club but I don't believe anyone can suggest that it wasn't done with the underlying hope that we'll be successful. To be fair, they're hardly likely to show the support a business plan, of which I'm sure there will be one, and they'd face criticism for it if part of their plan was offering financial support from the investors as you've shown. However they have suggested several plans in the past and they seem to last around 9 months before they seem to drop them. They have lost the support from a chunk of the support and as such, you're probably right that they are a busted flush, particularly as a viable alternative has appeared, something I thought was extremely unlikely a couple of weeks ago.

There's certainly a higher risk involved than sticking with the status quo. However it would be good to get some excitement back into the club and, as you say, these investors seem to be surprisingly largely positive, and it's potentially better to go with them than wait for another investor to come along that's not as good. My major concern is how they see us fitting into the structure (are we just going to be a Leeds feeder club?) but there's not much we can do but wait and see (and hope).

McGregor looks so chuffed.

With the chance to manage in Europe? Plenty would jump at the chance, including those who have managed at a far higher level than Clyde, Kelty Hearts and Alloa.

There's lots of candidates out there. Are you saying that if another SPL club or a Championship club in England were looking for a temporary manager they couldn't come up with a better solution than an ex-Alloa manager who's been out of work for 3 years?

I now can't get too excited about McCann calling Morelos an idiot for his goal celebration on one occasion. Many on here have called him far worse. He shouldn't have done it, but a one-off comment at a player that many find frustrating isn't a hanging offence.

I've generally found McCann to be unbiased. I don't recall him ever mocking or ridiculing the club. Dodds, on the other hand....

Kilmarnock 1 - 1 Rangers FGS - Dessers

Who made the decision to put that management "team" in place? I doubt it was Patrick Stewart, so who decided that the ex-manager of Kelty Hearts and Alloa, who has been out of work for 3 years, is the best candidate to take us into the last 16 of the Europa League? I'd hoped we'd moved away from the old boys act, but it's back with a vengeance.

The first two were expected....

I'm going for Dessers only because he seemed to put in more effort than the rest of the team, but he was far from great. I can't pick any for their actual performance.

A defence that couldn't handle 2 strong forwards. A midfield 2 that got overrun by a midfield 3. Wide players with no pace. A centre forward with no support that had two on him the whole game. The opposition 5-3-2 is a playbook of how to play against us.

Yeah, because when we do have fans in the boardroom there's protests against them 😉

It's sad that he feels the need to be the centre of attention and to break the confidentiality of it all, if any of his story has any truth to it anyway. It was interesting to see Rab Marshall predict this very thing, that King would break cover and take credit for the deal.

Rangers 2 - 0 St.Mirren FGS Dessers

The 20p was confirmed by Davie Edgar on the H&H daily update.

Has the 20p been confirmed or is that just speculation?
