    I think up until that point it was all set to be announced.

    Hopefully they can iron out any issues and complete the deal.

    Guinness Guzzler is that far undercover, he’s drinking Carlsberg. That is dedication, they will never guess

    They'd rather quit the board than admit I was right about a single thing mate. I've apologised more than anyone when I've been wrong.

    There's a massive difference between me and the forum cowards.

    I actually go to the matches, home & away, so I can't hide. My photo has been on both boards as well as my phone number and my usual place in the pub I always use for home games.

    I'd repeat anything to anyone's face that I've ever posted and given these cowards an open invitation to do the same.

    In over a decade only one person has ever showed up to confront me and he still posts on here.

    like a an AA meeting this now, can we get back to football discussion.

    Life’s too short to worry about what’s happened in the past. Focus on what’s to come

    Really sorry to bring this up but ...

    ... Wow!!!

    The 'alternative takeover thread' has broken out into open warfare.

    It's like an ice hockey match ...

    ... the gloves are off and they're laying into each other, blood all over the ice.

    Pancho is on the ropes, Jardine has turned on the Mods, Steve3000 is crying that he was banned just for his honest opinions, people are cowering behind their laptops!!!

    Really sorry to distract people but ffs, it's funny <laugh>

    What is needed is a end to the takeover talks, it does not really matter if it is leave or remain... I have gone past caring what the final deal is.

    We all just have to stop fighting each other and support our team/country remember what unites us not divides us.

    For anyone interested I'm hoping to arrange a light hearted meeting with Charlie Methven at Lincoln.

    I've met him before and he was absolutely charming.

    I'm quite sure he'll be quick to take me to task if I've been out of order ...

    ... a charge to which I've often had to admit over the years :)

    I'm naive and believe everyone on a Sunderland chat forum should want the best for the club.

    I have faith in this board, and the posters herein, that this is the case.

    The problem is that information was shared in good faith, people take it to the extreme and then bicker when it didn't happen. There are so many people who expect instant results. Even Riv will admit grumpy and too a much lesser extent I was saying that these things nearly always have hitches,rocky patches and take time to get over the line. It doesn't mean it is 50/50 or will fall through but even at 99.99999999% through they can collapse. This is not buying a corner shop (mind you at times we have seemed like a corner shop). There was more than Riv mentioned the deal was done but the smallest thing can hold a deal up. Just a shame people can't have a bit crack and accept things are done in good faith. If we were having the discussion in the pub or on the terraces less people would behave like they do behind a keyboard

    Sincere apologies mate. I can totally understand why you'd be a fan of a hard working cultured midfielder who could read the game, win a tackle and ping a pass. Who was also desperate to join the club... Over....umm....I'm struggling to think of anything old chip head offered...? Good engine I suppose. That goal at Palace....aaaand, I'm out.
