I have idiots complaining that I should always check the provenance of my information ...
... do they think I work for the Times
"Hello, Mr Donald, I've been given some info and, before I post it on an anonymous little chat forum, I need to ask you for written corroboration."
Haway man some of these people need to ask their carers if they can go for a walk in the park.

Looks like the Sun has picked up on things, reckons it’s close to collapse all based on nothing

Headline - haggling over price.
Story - no mention of anything to do with price.
Classic Coverdale “journalism”
No mention of Donald saying in a later tweet he never goes back on a deal once it's made, as it is not the done thing. Complete fabrication by a paper that has an agenda against Mr. Donald.
Unreal how reporting standards have plumetted.
You may remember I posted, perhaps when you were on holiday, that journos were scanning the forums, for stories, and even posting so they can generate rumours and influence opinion.
I was ridiculed and called a liar, etc etc etc.
It's so easy isn't it. Create a bogus account and post a few harmless bits about football. Then post that you've been told the takeover is in jeopardy and there's your story.
"Black Cats fans believe the takeover will fail."
He could have knocked that up in 5 minutes, what happened to cross referencing facts and interviewing people ?Unreal how reporting standards have plumetted.

I've been attacked today, on RTG, for less ...
... some of them were posting about me during the match.
I shouldn't laugh but
I think you probably take more care posting on internet forums (which are basically the equivalant of gossip down the pub) than these supposed "journalists" take with their stories.I've been attacked today, on RTG, for less ...

It’s literally all based on SD’s tweet and fans panicking. Sunderland fans panicking is hardly newsUnreal how reporting standards have plumetted.

Yeah I saw what you posted about the journos scanning forums.
Incidentally I've had a message from a respected poster, who I've not met, but spoke to someone close to the club at the match today. He was suggesting that CM may not endure whereas SD is looking to put down roots.
However, neither may have their future in their own hands for long.
I'm amazed how quiet the O'Brien situation is tbh.
If, as Donald stated at Consett, his future is uncertain why would he appoint a new director ....
... unless he's no longer in a position to make those decisions.

Bloody hell Smug the "newbies" (sorry Vince) will have a field day with this post
I just mentioned over there that someone said that reporters were lurking and possibly posting and it looks like they were right.. Looks like a good call squire.Unreal how reporting standards have plumetted.

And neglecting to mention the further tweets saying once a "deal" is struck he doesn't haggle further as that is not the done thing.

As I said I was just thinking that - trawl an internet, look at Twitter - the old investigative journalists must look out in horror
We’re any of the Dell boys at the match today, do we know?How?
Not sure why that was posted as a reply to WW’s comment.??
