I’m not bothered who owns the club
I support sunderland through thick and thin
We as supporters have no say in who owns the club or who plays
You just get behind your team and support whoever where’s the shirt
That the least you can do

My thoughts exactly Vince, I completely understand the other view but I support the club not the owners and have renewed our two season cards and look forward to getting back to watching live football. I reckon it will be U23's first so an extra travel for me.

I’m sorry but change is needed immensely. Staff are still on furlough till the end of the month and I know this as someone I know works at the academy. So we have no club shop open, no sales apart from online, no income basically. We need the shops open to support our revenue. Appears like they don’t give a toss. We haven’t even got an away shirt advertisement ffs

I spent £230 on strips for grand children and had to pay delivery

Interesting. I spend a lot of time hanging around non-league but I've never been to a Wessex League game though a friend of mine was physio at a Wessex League club for a bit. Is that Step 5? What are the attendances like at Romsey?

Afternoon Norton, the son in law only signed this season from Hythe and Dibden, he injured his knee in a pre season game and is out for another 3 weeks. Wessex league one is 2 leagues below the National League I believe, I've not asked about attendances but I know that they have been improving their ground, the lads 25 now and a strapping 6'4" central defender, Havant and Waterlooville wanted him but he couldn't commit the time for training and travelling etc as they just recently bought a dilapidated house which is his priority at the moment...
Edit...capacity in the stadium is 1,500

Didn't want to be the **** who can't be arsed reading but wants and update.

Tried to catch up, read 15 pages. Got to the point where some bloke is pretending he hasn't heard of Kittenmittons, much less he is kittenmittons, but is repeating him verbatim from the other forum.

I'm 50 pages behind. And I'm very much the **** who can't be arsed reading. I would very much like an update. Any movement?

Oh right, Step 3/4 then. That's parallel with the league I usually watch. Its a good standard- there's a handful move from the clubs I watch to the national league and football league every season. I love non-league, its full of characters and there are some very good players to watch. Good luck to your son in law for the forthcoming season and with his house! I'll be keeping an eye out for Romsey's results now.

No movement at the minute, and none expected for a while. Sounds like there might be more talks towards the end of the week but there's no guarantee that they're the kind of make or break talks that could see an announcement imminently following it. Personally not expecting any resolution to this for a while

I know Nick Barnes is doing a podcast today with Graham from What the Falk, I wonder if we'll get an update of sorts from the takeover on that today.

Hopefully. Although I feel like he was used to leak the news about exclusivity and has then been completely in the dark, but will be good to see if he does have any more on it

To be fair, do we really need to know everything? Ha it's exclusivity for a reason I guess.

I'd ideally just like to hear some slightly more official confirmation that there definitely is something progressing in the background. Confident there is from what others have said, but would be comforting if he confirmed the discussions he mentioned were still ongoing, even if he couldn't give any further details

Unfortunately I live in MK as you probably gather and dont get to go and watch him due to the distance and I'm recently disabled. Thanks for the good wishes, I think he has his priorities in the correct order. His name is Tom Switzer if your reading Dave Jones a ball playing right sided centre half....

Very sorry to hear that. I think you're right about priorities. If he ever fancies a move to Essex, there are lots of good clubs in the Isthmian League!
