I've said all along that I can see Methven left holding the baby.
Once the yanks realise the bullshit and bluster he spouted when he got them involved was just that, they'll be off.

Which would be very interesting and possibly quite concerning.

It's not a good situation and it is concerning but I think we are getting a bit too far ahead to start saying the big money will pull out.

I think the big money are already on the case regarding the set up and effectiveness of the SMT.

Certainly don’t think the ‘larger owners’ will pull out, and it’s irresponsible and ignorant to think that they’ve been sold a pup- these guys are 10x the business men that Murray/Duchatelet/methven are and have extensive brains that these decisions will have been run through.

i’d imagine the slight hit the ownership will have by ACA dropping out will just be enveloped and swallowed by the 3 big guys - probably better for them anyway considering a ‘nothing entity’ has faded away.
would be surprised if ACA were brought on board for the whole ‘academy’ set up and scouting- really can’t seem them bringing much e

Just guesswork but it might be an issue with owning greater than a certain percentage of the club.  I can't remember the exact percentages but if any of the owners has more than a certain percentage then they have to be more transparent to FA about ownership and source of funds.  At a lower percentage I don't think that applies - so the various existing owners might be reticent to increase their individual holdings and hence a new investor might be needed.  just a thought.

Not sure who brought ACA to the group but, if that was Charlie, it raises yet more questions about his judgment and ability to be part of an effective SMT.

Murray made a considerably better job of running our football club on the evidence to date, despite being a minority shareholder. He also gave it more attention. He did pretty well with his own businesses too.

We can argue about 2006 onwards but everything from 1991 until that point was him too.

I don’t doubt the Americans are clever as well as successful, but how much do they care?
