    I think it’s just educated guesswork mate, surely nobody at the club is that stupid to give critical information out...........

    Walked past them when I came out over the gym. They looked bored to tears rather than eagerly expectant. Car park rammed, suspect its academy related tbh.

    Only party that could possibly benefit from the fans being wipped into a frenzy and strengthen their hands is the Americans .Any hint at things going wrong and the fans will pile pressure onto the club and Donald .

    This is the meeting in London and as you can see the pen is in hand and paperwork on desk ready to be signed to finalise the deal. Given the way the "it's off" mini meltdown went on earlier then they just can't bear to end it all by completing the takeover!

    To be fair mate, only 1 of your last 7 posts, on here, have been about the thread subject.

    We're all guilty of going off on tangents, I'm as bad as anyone.

    The more people post about the topic the better it will be.

    Tell you what that's a bloody good and smart idea that if true.

    Get the fans thinking SD has cost us a potential of competing at the top level again which will obviously turn them against him.

    Making his position untenerable so he has to just make his money and move on so they can get in who they want rather than have SD and CM staying on for 10 years.

    I think the positive info he received was from a shareholder at the club.

    My gut feeling (and I've not heard anyone mention it) when SD came out and said that he doesn't change a deal once it's made, was that he was being honest but also making a point as the Americans were trying to change it.

    All pure conjecture but it fits the puzzle.

    It’s Sunderland, I suppose we should expect people to be unprofessional.

    The only people who truly know will be MDS/SD and even then it is clear somethings are being ironed out. Could be do with warranties (normal in a deal) or anything - with the way the Alvares deal panned out I would be making sure warranties were water tight
