I don’t buy any of it personally, but will wait and see what comes out. The fact that’s been written on notes on an iPhone with near perfect grammar suggests it was thought out and planned, and the fact we have been able to sign multiple players this week, as well as pay off Cattermole is another contradiction. There’s a massive witch-hunt against Donald due to the nature of his purchase of the club, and if it comes back and puts the entire foundations of the club back at risk then I wonder what these folk hope to achieve. As part of fit and proper, you have to prove and set aside enough finance to run a club for 3 years, or offer guarantees to such. As he’s been in a year, I just don’t buy it. He never pretended to be a billionaire, he openly spoke about investment from a very early stage, he reiterated this, Sartori was always ‘someone who may come in as we move up the ladder’ and Methven was always more an excellent PR man. I await any single shred of anything to suggest Donald doesn’t continue to have the best for the club at heart, even if it is for his own future financial gain.
Where's it supposed to have come from? I could write any old bollocks on my iPhone notes and post it to Twitter.
Exactly, and as you use notes on iPhone only on the go, it would never be so correctly typed. It’s pre meditated. When I use notes, it usually takes an hour to decipher the ****er.
True, it all sounds like something calculated to target any concerns about our situation. Wouldn't exactly be the first time some mag faked something like this.
The 2 of them did the Roker Rapport podcast together at the end of the season, and everything seemed fine Even if it is true, we are now a solvent club. This time last year we were Donal Ducked - not now The only thing I find strange is that someone wants to buy 65% of our Club, but don't want to run it for themselves
If this is proved to be nonsense there's little wonder that Donald has pulled the draw bridge up on social media. Being a bit thick on computer things I take it that this could be classed as social media as I've no idea what iPhone notes are as I don't have an iphone.
I was sat two seats from the royal box at the playoff final. Donald and Methven certainly didn't sit together. But then why would they? Stewart appeared to be with his wife and kids and Charlie seemed to be with a couple of other blokes. There didn't appear to be any kind of problem and they were both laughing and smiling and shaking hands with people like Quinny and load of others. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen them sitting together at a game.
Also, I could see Juan Sartori from where I was sitting and he didn't look like he was under duress to be there at all. He was laughing and smiling and going round talking to people. Looked chuffed to bits to be there.
Absolutely, I remember pics being circulated of the 3 of them having pre game drinks the lot. It’s absolute horse **** the lot of it for me.
No smoke without fire and all that. While I don't believe the majority of the OP the investment/takeover has gone seriously quiet since we were told it would be done weeks ago.
Skunks loose manager Owner wont invest Owner sells best players Looking like Championship again next season. quick lets take the piss out of Sunderland before they come on our board and own us
That was the papers saying that though. As Donald said, don't believe what the papers say... erm.....
Heard it was said at one of the fans' forums it'd be done and dusted by the 19th of June. It's all deadly silent now too. I dunno, I do have a feeling that something isn't quite right tbh.
I suppose if you look at various things that have or haven't happened recently, it is possible to make a case that there is something up. So maybe you're right.
