    He is, I know it’s old news but that’s pretty much how he talked when he came to see me dad, was like talking to a mate in the pub about football, mind he’s got a business brain too. So not like my mates at all :emoticon-0140-rofl:

    Even if he can't answer probing questions directly his body language should be telling.

    Look North Dawny just said a group of American businessmen should be installed as the new Sunderland owners in the next few days. Voice was going a bit like she had a lump in her throat. Sounded emotional :emoticon-0106-cryin

    Can we not have a separate talk in thread that only attendees can post in until it's over.

    It would be a good test of will power for the rest of us. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    That’s totally fair enough, but suggests news is a foot, one way or the other

    okay, so i bit the bullet and signed up for this one as well, as others have said, it was getting a wee bit mental with all the calling and sniping.

    looking forward to actually reading updates ;)

    There's alcohol and daft lads mate, absolutely zero chance of keeping a lid on what's said ...

    ... despite the most noble intentions.

    It's a talk in to inform Sunderland supporters when all said and done.

    Repeating what's been said, to friends, is in no way disrespectful imo.

    Think they've got far too much faith in our fans like! People are bound to text mates and the likes, someone will blab. Hopefully you can at least say whether it's been a positive night or not! Bit odd if there's anything fairly major and they're only letting a couple of hundred who are randomly at a talk in know about it mind, but as long as it's good news I'm not arsed!

    I’d be staggered if there isn’t something on Twitter within minutes of the talk in starting tbh.

    Also, and all joking aside, it seems incredibly **** that the thousands of Sunderland fans who don’t happen to be in the Consett branch can’t find out what’s happening with the club when the owner is clearly happy to answer questions about it.
