Mr Methven, you like talking ...

[T_Bone]

How many times do I have to say I couldn't care less, I'm really not interested in being ITK.

I post what I can and I sometimes have to omit certain FACTS such as was the case here. I was told the whole story but could only post a few hints.

Posting info attracts a lot more flak than 'attention' as your endless sniping demonstrates.

As I've said, don't judge everyone by your own agenda, I don't care what anyone thinks.

Who are you replying to ?

This is just a word soup. I'm asking a simple question, if you were told the whole story, when are FPP taking over now that the obstacle is removed?

I never said I was told the whole story, neither was Donald by the look of it.

And, would you believe, the story has changed as people have negotiated and shifted positions ...

... as happens with almost every deal.

Could feasibly be the case that they wanted Methven gone, Donald dug his heels in so he stayed but developments since have made his position untenable and/or made Donald see their point of view.

That's my take on it mate FWIW.

I mean... what would you think?

I was told the whole story about Methven going but not every detail about the intentions of FPP ...

... seriously man, stop and think before you jump in.

You seem absolutely desperate to prove some kind of point but, as usual, I've no idea what it is.

Instead of obsessing about me, and constantly derailing the thread, why not talk about the subject ....

... Methven has gone.

Are you talking to me ? You are not making it clear who you are referring to in your posts.

They all bottle it when the going gets tough and bugger off, we are here for life ! if Maja had stayed this would not have happened.

He's talking to Mr Forensic - kittens.

Apparently this is what has been said in the RAWA meeting. "The area is doomed and the thing is you dont understand is most Sunderland fans are unbelievably uneducated"
I think.
"In a business sense"

So you don't know if it's a takeover? Gotcha.

In all seriousness because I know you take things to heart x...

I agree with GOM on this, the most likely explanation for this is that he's ****ing tired and him snapping at fans recently is because he's at the end of his tether. As a PR guy, you can't have him alienating fans the way he has, and he has clearly got to the point where whatever is bugging him (having to do work?) is becoming more than it's worth to him. I doubt his job is 'fun', per se.

As someone who is in the process of doing something similar (mrs moving up here from London) I can sympathise with his problem if that's the case.

Several (although I must stress not all by any means) of the non-league club owners that I have come across seem to be in it for the ego trip and revel in being told that they're the big man and how wonderful they are. I know that they packaged it as 'openness' and 'communicating with the fans' but, as they came from non-league, I wonder if Stewie and Charlie thought they'd get the same thing but on a much bigger scale with us. Its turned out that it's not like that and is actually much more pressurised than they thought and that's what's lead to Charlie's angry outbursts.

If that’s true it’s shocking, regardless it’s all very strange

Absolutely nothing I said would lead a normal person to that conclusion.

It seems that, not only are you are incapable of making a point, you're incapable of getting the point

To help you let me quote someone who works for the club and posts what he believes he can, as do I, on RTG.

"sorry mate. It’s my livelihood on the line if I blurt stuff directly.

But the upcoming (and first) board meeting under the current owners should be a lively one!!


hopefully it quickens their takeover. Today is good news"

There is a recording going about but i have not been able to get a copy yet.

If he's actually said that I'm gobsmacked nobody has stood up and grabbed a hold of him.

Cheeky bastard.

Ha Ha. I’d forgot Ive got his recipient on ignore and thought he might have been replying to me !
I was just about to hit the “Here we go” button

Yeah I agree with this really. Neither of them strike me as the type who will stay excited when the going gets tough.

They thought they could be a bit cavalier, impress the locals etc. To them it probably felt like 'can't lose' territory, particularly as there was the unusual ability to avoid having to have the cash in the bank to get started.

As for @Smug in Boots I'll leave his ego alone. Maybe FPP will buy us now that his 'staffing issue' has been resolved.

I think to some extent they were right to try to be more connected with the fans. I think they didn't bank on how much scrutiny their every word be subjected to though. It's probably been much harder work than they expected.
