After a very long and unusual silence, Thomas Sandgaard has spoken out on LinkedIn about the takeover and he's directing the fire at Methven's consortium.
Too much water has passed under the bridge for anyone to swallow any baloney about Top 6 recruitment, however, I am not at all surprised by what else he has had to say about the would-be buyers. It's only common sense based on what has happened and where we find ourselves.
He has been desperate to get out and there is zero logic in him playing silly buggers time and again to try and nickel 'n dime his buyers when he is on the hook for hefty monthly losses.
Indeed, Methven has been caught out repeatedly feeding guff to stooges bad-mouthing Sandgaard and trying to get supporters on his back. To some extent that has worked but Sandgaard has remained tight-lipped and more professional than those spreading rumours.
"Arrogant, bullying and penny-pinching." I can see the arrogance and what he would deem bullying. The line these guys are trotting out is that they will "break him financially" if he is not careful. An empty threat if ever I heard one and one designed to impress gullible football fans. As I have said before, it made more sense that Sandgaard was being leveraged in these negotiations because they didn't have the funds first time around and these guys know they are paying over the top to match Spiegel.
They are making a big play about wanting a deal done by 14th June when the window opens but haven't we also been told that they have all agreed a transfer budget so that will continue whoever the owner is?
The urgency of the transfer window is nonsense in my opinion. None of them will really splash any cash and we will do most of our business in July and August inside our existing pay budget.
Time for Methven's backers to get real or throw the towel in.
