Nice one mate, you're a character.

I'm sure we've argued before but never held grudges ...

... you'll fit in well here.

Cheers mate. We've had a couple of differences of opinion but I think it was Cloughie who said "if you agree with everybody all the time you're telling somebody lies".

Ah sod it!

Since I posted that I've had messages from half a dozen other people who know the same thing.

One lad obviously knows a lot more than me and told me things that surprised me involving the rumours about extending the stadium, etc.

He doesn't want the hassle of posting anything and I don't blame him one bit, it's draining tbh.

But he, and other people, have confirmed what I've been told about the badge. So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't take this an any indication that the takeover is done/not done/undone or anything else but ....

.... yes, its the badge.

This is how it was put to me. The current badge looks like it was designed in Victoria times, has more symbols than the da Vinci code and a Latin motto that's basically meaningless.

They want something that makes an impact and says something.

That's it, no big deal in itself but, to us, it's a massive massive deal and they need to get it bang on. The stadium name is another area of discussion and the same thinking applies. It puts us back in Victoria times and, although people in the area appreciate the link with mining, it says nothing to the rest of the world or bring in any money.

I suppose these things are like a comfort blanket to us, taking us back to massive shipyards, full employment and the glory days when we won league titles and celebrated at Wembley.

This is going to be like a tsunami for the club and everything connected to it.

Disclaimer: All of the above is my opinion based on things repeated to me.

I was persuaded to go into The Jungle on North Shields quayside by a monster Sunderland head case in the 1980's.

FFS man, it was absolutely evil and full of Mag fishermen and dockers.

Derek, my jolly Sunderland chum, was shot in the shoulder with a crossbow bolt the week after.

That's no bullshit mate, he brought his X-ray into my office to show me ...

... really proud he was <laugh>
