    If the club was so concerned about statements that the deal was done then why didn’t they refute the ALS article which was titled “Takeover Confirmed” on the 22nd of August? Why did they not release a statement rebutting the RR podcast, the opening sentence of which was “Following Sunderland’s takeover this week by Michael Dell”? Why didn’t they do more in August when it was claimed that “sources close to the club” had revealed far more detail than the only other news article before that, and that they actually managed to beat The Times to an exclusive?

    Personally I think if he gets us to a better position than when short was taking us to oblivion, and makes a few bob in the process, then good luck to him. Not having a go btw m8, just saying it as I see it, sd can ultimately do whatever he wants, he’s the owner, we have no influence at all other than as customers of his club, if we disagree with his methods or actions our only real solution is to stop going to matches.

    I read it that way too, when the biggest leak of the lot was via the chosen PR channels.

    It’s the murky game we’re in. Football is a business so he may make some cash and get us to a better place, or he may make more and get us somewhere less better if that makes sense , but the reality is there is pressure on Donald to get this done. The party he is negotiating with have huge potential and he has whet our appetite intentionally or not. So why would a concerned fan not want Donald to be under pressure to do the deal?

    The pease pudding will be some sort of foam, the ham will be shaped like a swan and the stottie cake will come in a glass.

    OK mate, but I'll do it on the Mr RAW thread.

    I'm sure he won't mind me borrowing his thread for a while.

    It'll be on there in about half an hour.

    I can't name the property or client but, as Mrs Smug isn't keen on the job, I can post the gist of the role and a few clues.

    If you guess the name please don't name her, on here, as they have people tracking Internet searches.

    Cheers
