NB’s hasn’t gone down this route because of social media posts he’s read. He’s fine this because I’m assuming his source comes from the top (SD). But as I’ve said I still wouldn’t believe a word of it. What DD can he do on his own? He spoke to a solicitor friend who said, I’m gathering in his opinion, that Covid could delay things... it was also the opinions on Twitter by some accounts that the accounts were denuded purely because of Covid, despite it transpiring they were signed off in Jan... What DD could NB’s of done to confirm what he’s being told??? He doesn’t know who the ‘potential’ owners are, he’s just getting the info SD chooses to give him so open to anyone, what DD could NB’s have done to back is source up???
I'm a little bit anxious about that because he doesn't mean that he's confirmed with the buyers (as he doesn't know who they are) and might not even have checked with anyone else at the club. The only checking he's confirmed is that, after being told its being delayed by Covid, he asked a lawyer who isn't in any way involved with the deal who simply confirmed that, yes, Covid could delay business deals. I hope his other checks have been more related to the specific of this deal and from people who would know. Like I say I've heard plenty from people I trust who say things are progressing so I'm leaning towards something happening. I'm also sure that Barnes is confident it is. I just have an uneasy feeling that Barnes might not have the watertight source and confirmation that people think.
Niall Quinn’s Dad said: ↑ Really annoying you aren’t I for some reason. I’ve already stated I believe who I’ve spoke to to be very accurate with a number of things, and I have no doubt on this either. What NB’s says is fine, but until he states his source isn’t SD or one of his cronies, everyone will discredit him as they don’t trust SD. He’s a professional and I’m just a fan. He’s leading with this news (no one else is), he’s reporting the takeover in the media (no one else is).... so I hope for all of our sakes it comes to fruition. I unfortunately still don’t think it will. Obviously people are getting giddy again, and it will be all over here for the next month, but all we can do is wait till NB’s drip feeds us his sources Tid bits here and there. As I said, the lad who told me is pretty accurate, if that changes I’ll believe him, but at the moment it’s still the same. I wouldn’t trust SD or anything he says, so don’t be upset when nothing happens
not saying he’s bull ****ting, anything. He believes what he’s been told how can he verify what he’s being told, when only one side is being given to him????
Do you know why he wants out? Could understand if he had a role that took a lot of his time up, but currently he's just a shareholder isn't he? Unless he needs the cash that would be unlocked by a sale I'm not sure why he'd be desperate to get out. If he's desperate to get out quickly it would explain a fair bit mind
I’ve not been on either ‘for months’ All I know is he made some stupid comments at a fans talk in, then had to step down saying his partner was expecting, he was starting to do more work with Brexit and his PR company and couldn’t commit to Sunderland basically excuses for what he said, or am I totally kidding the point?
He's called out on this regularly and still persists with his message, that his message is emphatic and everyone else is wrong. He was asked if he was in the club's employ to pass out a message and replied with "wow". Called out again and said he couldn't remember me calling him out and wouldn't look back to the exchange - even thought the "wow" remark is fairly memorable. If he's not a person in the company's employ he's an intelligent robot in their employ.
Lets be honest here there is not a cat in hells chance your source is right above the numerous ones Nick Barnes has that have all told him what he is saying is correct
He has recovered from his cancer scare. This was documented in his first season here when he lead the promotion in Oct/Nov from what I believe
Where have I said I want him to reveal his source??? I don’t care what he or anyone else does.. it’s a simple fact that till he’s does, some people will be sceptical
Exactly. I can’t verify anything, and not pretending to I’ve been told what I believe to me true, end of. I’m not in any position to verify anything apart from when it doesn’t materialise
You've categorically said that no talks are progressing ... ... but, in other posts, accept they are. Neither are opinions, both are statements of facts.
well I hope you’re wrong, or if not his health improves quickly. Despite what people think of him, no one wants something like that hanging over them but I’ve been told he’s back on the scene.
Just got round to listening to the podcast. Sensible update from Barnes and he obviously believes it's gong to happen, that's good enough for me
again you are picking and choosing what you want to hear/read.. there’s always ‘talks’ as the clubs been for sale since SD walked through the door. But a simple enquiry from some foreign business man compared to a deal being passed to the EFL are on very different parts of the scale
