Looks like he's involved with a consortium looking to takeover the club and is using the march he organised to force the board out so he can step in.
Thoughts?

It seems odd to me.
I'm not going to march on the 21st because I don't agree with just being all angry without any kind of credible plan i.e. what we do once the shareholders / Ryan McKnight are gone.
If there were some kind of consortium who could put money into the team (I'm not going to use the term "invest" because that implies they'd have a chance of ever seeing their money again), then I'd happily back them and try to pressure the existing shareholders into writing off their debts and walking away from their shares.
So surely it would've made more sense for him to be up front about his intentions?
As with the all the other takeover rumours, I won't believe a word of it until someone has shown us the colour of their money.

For me, you can file him alongside Melrose and Evans as a waste of time nobody.

Someone is using the pretense that it's for the benefit of the fans as a means to suit their own hidden agenda?! Shock horror. I'm genuinely not surprised it's certainly not the first time however at this point it is just a rumour that he's involved in some consortium bid? Come clean Steve confirm or deny

Just makes his persistence with this march seem a bit fishy now.
Interested to see how this will pan out then, it could be that he is part of a viable consortium, lets not write him/then off just yet.

I was sceptical about it in the first instance, but now it seems like its downright dodgy!

You need to act quick here SS to nip this in the bud before it undermines your entire protest.

I've just spoken to him on the phone. He PM'd me asking to call, so I did. Nothing particularly enlightening and I repeated that the march will be a farce if people think it's to install him and his team as new management.

Did you ask him straight up if he is planning a take over?
If so, what was the answer?

Unless something concrete come from him all I can see is him using the fans march under false pretences.
To abuse the trust of fellow fans like that is disgusting.
File with Melrose, Evans et al.

This club over the past 5 years has been about individuals and not the fans. That's where it's wrong. I can't involve myself with a club (as a fan) when it's always about self righteous arseholes.
I'm out. I was only going to turn up to get these arseholes out, but to me it seems there's more hearsay going about. It's very bad PR for the 'consortium', they've got lots of work to do to turn it around if they want in.

RM and the rest of the shower in charge must laugh their ar*es off at the fans .... we have a credible and laudible group via the COOP and yet 85% of fans can't be bothered joining, we have a protest planned but now "I'm not going as I am being used blah blah' .... jeeze, who cares what underlying reasons there might be? WE ARE DYING!!!! its nearly all over already .... I couldn't give a monkeys of the politics as it can hardly be worse, what would anyone be following? Uncle 'let me scarper whilst I can' Ellewood? The 'Trust in us' Trust? The Scouse party goers? this bleedin* lot? A consortium made up of Sloths couldn't do any worse and the COOP only have a chance if the 'sleep walkers' could be bothered joining ... we bang on about 'great fans' but in truth only County could go the way we have gone with hardly a whimper, Accy fans could teach us a thing or two when it comes to 'not letting your club die'

You might think it's nearly over, but we are finished. Make no mistake about it.

Yawn. Why do people have to go blabbing? Not aimed at you Suedehead but the guys involved. Do your business quietly and talk about it once the deal is done.
Lost credibility straight away with bullshit flying around the messageboards and people jumping to conclusions regarding the march but nobody there to deny/confirm it.
Saint Saviour does himself no favours with his riddles but to be fair he seems to have done a lot for the club over the years and Fitzy is somebody who the majority would like involved.
Don't write them off just yet but they'll have to appease the fans at some point after this PR cock up.
And somebody clear up what's happening on the 21st before it descends into farce.

Re: 21st dec march
Posted by Saint SaviourUser Info on 3/12/2013, 7:28 pm, in reply to "21st dec march "
I know my intentions were set in motion without motive other than the 4 objectives I outlined right at the outset. I provided Total Clarity.
I expected to be walking alone and protesting with my one man banner but was overwhelmed by the support from far and wide.
Days after I popped my head up "yes days after" I was approached to help a selective set of business county fans who thought I could help "wouldn't we all if we could".?
So my conscience is totally clear. I set a protest in motion to help rid our club of the silent seven. I responded to a call for help from a group of guys who only have the very best of intentions to relieve our club of its dire position. I listened and I believe I can help.
No motive, clear conscience. I will be protesting for the 4 objectives on Dec 21st. If that's alone then that's as I envisaged when I popped my head up.. But if you all walk with me I am telling you, you will help achieve something that was impossible for years... One fanbase, supporting one complete set of people as they all have the same affection for Scfc that you do...
Over to you...
