This is actually getting my attention. I like the buzz about it, I have posted with Smug for about 10 years across here and the original 606 and have not a shred of doubt that if he says he’s had info, he’s had it. It all remains gossip until there’s meat going on. Storey in town last week, meets with Rodwell, as I’ve said, could that have been the club having a last listen up? Rumours from left right and centre today and Storey, who it’s safe to say financed or not has been in talks, he knows the setup of the FFP loan and has alluded to them trying to ‘pinch’ the club (a scenario we’ve all wanted on here since the loan was put in, frankly...), and then on this day he puts out several desperate sounding tweets about ‘steps forward’ looking more like a rejected teenager. I’m not having that all of these things are running around at the same time and there’s nowt happening. I simply am not having that.
There is something going on 100% The talks of Dell at later stage along with the rich Russian though.. not saying its untrue btw @Magnus it just sounds like the stuff of dreams. We are Sunderland after all it never happens to us but that's just the Sunderland supporter in me. I just hope for once it finally does go our way. If any set or supporters deserve it its us with the amount of ****e weve had served up.
Aye, but let’s have a different spin on that. Take Sunderland as the middle ground entity, is a hard to see a group of US billionaires doing a joint venture with a Russian billionaire? Absolutely not. With the strained relationship between the US and Russia and allegiance there could be absolute business gold. Bringing folk together through the fire. We could, and I will say I think it’s one or the other, if either, just be in the right place at the right time for them to join forces. It’s fantasy island but you never know. This is a group of men who’s wealth makes Trump look like a ****ing jobseeker.
I've had some very positive news this evening that I absolutely can't repeat. All I can say is that my optimism, of two days ago, looks well founded I've finally allowed myself to believe, sod it.
Stop flirting man. I’m meant to be having a relaxing night here cos I’m getting my teeth done tomorrow and I’m up a height checking a ****ing football forum every 15 seconds.
We are a good buy to the right owner. Under the right management getting us back to the Premier league will 10x the value of the club. Obviously a lot of spending on the way but I dont think it would take 270m. Also they already have the loan so bit invested too.
