He is still hugely important especially regarding the takeover. It's his (and others) shares that the 49ers need to get their controlling interest. Once officially sold, he'll become irrelevant, until then he kinda is the "kingpin". He isn't and can't dictate anything - he got asked his opinion and gave an answer as well as reason as to why he believed SG would be the best candidate.

60 Million, not a penny less.

Modric will be 40 come September are we opening a retirement home

Always thought of Guillem Balague as a Spanish Keith Jackson tbh. He dropped the ball with that article making it seem like Modric didn't say no to coming here when what I think he was trying to convey was the respect Ancelotti Jnr had from the players. Another journo who, if was chocolate, would eat himself up.

Better the spiv you know n all that 🙄😂

But think of the carbon footprint, dB, think of the carbon footprint!

Yes; but what locus does he have now (or at least when the shares are gone, or outwith his control prior to disposal)?

Talking about stats and hold hands ... I checked how Lundstram fared at Trabzonspor, who finished 7th. He played 43 games, 25 as DM, 9 as CM and another 9 as CB. He scored 3 goals and missed 1 game through illness. Borna Barisic, on loan to Leganes from Trabzonspor for half a season, on the other hand, missed a big chunk of the season due to a cruciate ligament tear, playing just 16 games, missing 222 days.

Aye - but at least he was our spiv!🤣

Saved us from the spivs and in turn themselves became spivs. Now we need saved again.

Except to say that he saved us from the spivs. For that, he has my eternal gratitude.

You sound like Keith Jackson. Well, he could not have had a better football education. Untested or not.

Shooting messengers is so much out of date. Though I have to inform you that the Kinzhal has taken off ...

Thanks to Dave King for stepping in!

I can deny it. I believe very little that comes out his mouth these days. Yes he will have been approached about the sale of his shares, which he's been trying to punt for years, but I very much doubt his involvement was much more than that.

The current board will have little to no say on the new manager.

About time somebody said it. Thank you Dave King. It needs to be Gerrard if we can't afford Ferguson. This current board are going to make a terrible mistake (no surprise to me) and give it to the untested Ancelotti.

Dave King is, as a matter of plain fact, a dog who has had his day. This may be a cause of regret, or of rejoicing, but that is a debate for elsewhere, one with which I would, almost certainly, decline to engage. As he leaves the building, his response to questioning, on appointment of a coach, or indeed on any other matters pertaining to the future running of the Club, should have been short, simple, and to the point: 'It's not my call - ask the new guys on the block. I will keep my own counsel, unless they ask for my opinion, or advice.' That would have been both polite, and politic.
