    I don't know him from Adam and I'm sure he's a really nice lad
    All I can go on are his posts and they seem to be always clouded with an anti SD agenda
    I might be wrong but that's how it comes across

    Thanks to you and everyone else who's had kind things to say.

    I have nothing to gain, by what I post, and lots to lose.

    People I've got on with previously have turned against me and others turn a blind eye to the abuse I get.

    I know hundreds of Sunderland supporters, many from here, and I count them all as friends. If I was shown to be lying to them they'd quite rightly want my blood at the next away game I'm at.

    I wouldn't risk that for a few likes on a website.

    I have a great photo of myself, the President of the HA and my 3 sons outside Rock City where I was a doorman for 11 years. I could post that, in my defence, but why the **** would I bother ...

    ... to satisfy a bunch of Internet weirdos?

    I could post photos of me in the south of France bodyguarding the likes of Penelope Cruz. I have photos of me in a 500k Porsche, on my power boat, etc etc. I could hoy them on here if I chose ....

    ... but I don't need to, I know who and what I am.

    Besides, the same bunch of wasters would only accuse me of showing off.

    No you are correct. That's exactly how I see it. He's the same on Facebook.

    Don’t doubt you for a second mate.

    I actually used to get a load of ITK **** when I worked for airline, and when I lived in Marbella you’d meet players and agents.

    Now I work for Sky, and everyone knows that means I know nowt ITK <laugh>

    I’ve heard a bit gaffer stuff mind that I’ve posted on gaffer thread.

    Here’s a not hard to believe bit of speculation on my part.

    We didn’t have to call off this weekends game.

    We sacked Ross somewhat out of the blue, time wise at least.

    It all went quiet in the takeover side (leading to all this bullshit)

    This all just happened to happen around an international break, or was the timing deliberate?

    It could all actually be meticulously planned.

    I know that’s got a few hopes up. It makes sense, immaculate sense, but it’s pure speculation on my part, and I’m half a bottle deep in Haig Club.

    This is what people fail to grasp mate, you work for Sky, I work for billionaires ...

    ... someone has to, no big deal.

    More than anyone else, I've stuck my neck out with what I've said ...

    ... some like that, some don't.

    Happy to take your word for it.

    To me he's someone who just pops up every now and then with kosher information, and it's been mentioned a few times he was on the periphery of one of the groups. When it was said a few times (even tonight) without response I just accepted it was true.

    I'm in no way saying either of them aren't great lads, just that their posting (like everyone else's) should be viewed through a lens of context regarding their previous posts possibly having an agenda based upon information / opinions they have that we don't know.

    Interestingly kittenmittens has just posted he was on the periphery of the Spanish consortium that SD was initially part of.
    He then goes "full tinfoil" with his speculation that Ellis Short and SD conspired together to ditch the spaniards after they'd done the EFL application.

    I dealt with folk in those circles when I lived in Marbella, to a degree. It’s another reason for me to believe you hear bits.

    As the money goes up the circles become incredibly small.

    Anyone know where the alleged 'meeting' is at, what time it's taking place and who's going to it.

    Oh, and what it's about -:emoticon-0105-wink:

    I've been dropping hints all week mate.

    I can't say too much.

    What I can say is that me and Mrs Smug have an interview tomorrow, for a work project, at the Intercontinental on Park Lane. We'll be having lunch at the Guards Club round the corner where we've been before. Anyone from here is welcome to join us, I can have you signed in providing you pay. I'm only saying this because I love seeing it 'in print' tbh.

    Anyway, this is the kind of place someone might greet guests and their legal representatives ...
    ... not the Roker Hotel, no offence :)

    Like I said in a earlier post speedy is close to Stephen Elliot, so I imagine that a lot of information comes from there. But there's no question that he does get information but that doesn't mean it's all correct.

    How much info would Stephen Elliot realistically get?

    Someone get Jeff Whitley or Emerson Thome on the blower.

    And the cancellation keeps a proverbial card up the sleeve for a later date when we've a better hand to play?

    Tell you what, I’ve heard a bunch of helicopters flying about in the last 10 minutes or so.
    Not to get anyone’s hopes up, but they’re definitely blasting Pink Floyd - Money...
