Serious takeover talk

Probably the same people my 2nd lot of info came from.

I can appreciate it looked like I was carried away with it but, as a mad SAFC supporter, it was all very exciting.

Once I'd posted a few things more people, some with good reason to know things, approached me and gave me info.

It all just snowballed and then, around the time of the Consett fiasco, went deathly quiet.

2 of the 3 'sources' stopped responding and I think one had been feeding me duff info.

The remaining one, more from the buyers perspective, still says a few things, mainly 'don't panic'.

 

Sounds good, no need to give any personal detail.

I'm just intrigued by the kind of tasks and what you'll be getting up to.

 

I wish the club had put a statement out alot sooner to calm down all the excitement. Hopefully something will still come of it anyway.

 

Could be, he was one weird cookie....

 

Wasn't meant to be a dig mate, I know yr genuine and appreciate all the info etc, helped sort you out with tickets in the past on the other forum.

Was more the fact that when the news broke initially via other sources, RR etc, alongside the ALS t shirts it gave the impression everything was over the line.

The t shirts was/is cringeworthy but certainly made me think that it was all done and dusted.

FWIW I think/hope there is still a possibility with this group but that we have to get promotion this season hence Ross getting the bullet.

 

Not sure what your point is, he wasn’t the only one posting about it. Did you have a go at ALS and RR as well

 

Bang on marra...must not have seen those SunDELLand t shirts eh?

 

I didn't take offence mate, not a bit.

It was all mad and, of course, I wanted it to happen.

Everything I posted about was what I'd been told.

There were feasibility studies done in every aspect of the club from the badge to the stadium to the AOL. Why wouldn't there be, these people have a huge army of of office dwellers who do this continually throughout their businesses.

It doesn't mean they applied for planning permission to knock down the Wheatsheaf

 

Woah woah woah, that would have been a step too far, love that place.

 

Except that’s where Disneyland Sunderland was going to be.

 

Edited because I can

 

No your safe mate
I heard it was the old police station, Dun house, the Deaf Club etc.
Well we have to build that new train station somewhere

Mind it was the voices in my head that told me

 

Would have been a tremendous coup mate, hopefully not all dead in the water

 

Typical Sunderland always the kick in the balls but we come back for more.

 

Follow Sunderland rinse and repeat until you are dead

 

I used to drink ne@@@@@ brown ale in there
When I was 16 before we went up the ramp into night club

 

This was posted on the night of the Consett talk-in. For me this was the one that started the doubts. The description of the body language spoke volumes that all was not going as we hoped and expected. SD gave a non comital explanation “ it was on going etc more than 50/50 etc.” But we’d had Jack Ross saying he’d met or spoken to the “new owners” and the Max Power interview after the Sheffield Utd game in which “new owners” and “richest club in the world” was mentioned. Now CM is saying it was never about new owners just about future investors. Things don’t add up here and although they done a lot of good things since they arrived, the goodwill they have created has taken a massive dive with the way they gave let thus run and they way it has eventually panned out.
Let’s just hope the new manager scenario works out well cos the next thing that goes pear shaped and I reckon the tide could turn against SD and CM

 

I can relate to this, although the region I live isn't really sub tropical, but it doesn't really get cold. Coldest I've felt was about 5oc when I left work at mid night.

 

Christ, aye I’d forgotten that about Ross meeting them and Power’s comment after the Sheff U game.

 

Weren't we told that all the body language was much more positive than the words spoken?
