What happened to Garbutt signing a three year deal? Hope you've a different source for the takeover info!
It’s been confirmed by a family member a 3year deal was agreed and wage cap ****ed it but an alternative deal may be reached
How many times are people gonna have to be told this. Some people just ready and waiting to jump down someone’s throat because of what someone said that never happened. Does it remind you of another forum
Hopefully you are correct, and I’m wrong, but I don’t think I am unfortunately. I’m not trying to blow my own trumpet or be billy big time regarding what I’ve said. Maybe some will disagree with the way I wrote it last week, but he’s going no where anytime soon... why sack staff and actively try and hire a head of academy if you are selling? He’s clinging on and intends to do so till he’s backed into a corner and FPP take over. It will happen, and it’s more when rather than if but he’s got a good 2-3 months left, but that’s a long time In football especially with Covid hovering over us all. A lot can happen, but it’s not as close as you believe, but hey, that’s football... it’s all about opinions. Pisses me off what he’s doing with the club, but we have to take inspiration from Leeds, Sheff Utd and Burnley and hope we can perform a Phoenix from the flames once this **** show is over
I have been itk maybe 2 times in my life and when I shared info on RTG the amount of abuse I got was intolerable, I honestly wouldn’t bother again If I ever did, it’s like a Lynch mob
Don’t blame you mate, I’ll never be itk and to be honest just reading what people say I wouldn’t want to
Everyone knew the wage cap was happening, should have pushed it through if it was agreed. Anyway @Magnus said he was signing after the wage cap. Not trying to say he's lying or anything just a bit concerning that he was completely wrong on that front.
He was about to as was another player who would have been a good signing but the salary cap pulled the rug from under them
I have been involved in 2 massive takeovers involving HSBC and Lloyds bank and I can tell you 100% that it’s business as usual, if there is a refurbishment budget for example it will still be used if there is a recruitment drive or cull planned it will still happen regardless of a takeover or even a closure of a department etc
I don’t think he was mate, the time lines have been checked it’s all in this thread somewhere

Agree regarding an establishment like a major bank with 1000’s of staff members, branches, share holders etc
But this Sunderland with a little man from oxford running us, not a massive Institute like a bank
Fecking hell man do you have to be right all the time, why can’t you just accept that someone generally knows something that you don’t
I can't find the post but it was well after the cap had been voted on and it said Garbutt would be in training on a Wednesday and had agreed a deal. If this stuff about two deals collapsing because of the cap we want shooting with ****. We'd known for ages that it would be voted through and we should have got deals done before it happened. Especially if the players were keen.
Not trying to be right. Just offering an opinion in a discussion... that’s what happens in a conversation. Just because I have a different view doesn’t make me right or wrong, but if I have a different view I’ll express it. I’m not being aggressive or judgemental. Apologies if that upsets you still though
He'll stick around alright BB, in fact that's all he is doing now. There is interest and he isn't selling because he thinks he knows better. Against all the evidence he seems to think of himself as some master businessman who controls it all. I think it might be this thing about him inheriting his insurance business from his dad. He seems desperate to prove himself, and is digging himself further into the ground as he tries.
The hope is that we all don't suffer for his vanity.
