Just been for a gander on their board, there's much whinging going on about our potential new owners. Wouldn't mind betting there's a huge drop in sandal sales on Wearside if the takeover happens.
Twitter and the internet is awash with the same stuff that has been regurgitated daily for the last week now. Still no actual official statement or information from any parties. Makes me slightly worried. I hope for something today or tomorrow.
Of course there's whining mate... it's their apathy shields. To focus on human rights helps them convince themselves our takeover is just a sham. The irony is.. with so many anti-saudi sentiments in Wearside... why don't they refuse to fill up their ladas given it likely Saudi Oil they are ultimately using.... or stop using Twitter where the Saudis have a larger shareholding than the founder.... the list goes on. Morals are a convenient comfit blanket for some at times...
Just been to pick up my click and collect shopping so drove back past the stadium on my way home. I can confirm that there is absolutely nothing happening around the ground at the moment, the van with the massive satellite dish is gone...there is literally nothing going on so it's clearly happening behind the scenes. A few omens on my way home which confirm it's definitely happening tho, as I was coming round past the RVI on my way to the ground Going Home came on in the car, I then noticed a couple of magpies on the roundabout at the end of the Redheugh Bridge and then to top it off on my way along Saltwell Road I passed a lad with a Toon top on. A hat-trick of omens if you will. It's on like donkey kong like.
