Just finished listening. Interesting at the start when asked if he was in regular contact with SD he dodged the question and just said they had regular and constructive board meetings
Also get the feeling he doesn't know an awfully about the detail of the deal however
He constantly talks about them as buyers
And even at one point refers to them as the potential new owners of the club.

So yea nothing happening

Down to Donald that. Hoping the share issue has been rectified and it's more of a full blown wipe out of the past top brass. Don't think it will be fully but the more the better

“Lots of people are all over the internet claiming they're close to buying the football club, but only one party has ever shown us proof of funds and given us a credible plan to take the football club forward - and that's the party that we're currently in exclusivity with.”

At around 6:30 - 7:00 says the potential NEW OWNERS have been patient diligent and very credible
 
Up until now there has been no club comment and all info was coming from Barnes secret source. If it goes tits up that would give the club complete deniability and just claim the info was false/exaggerated. Now the club essentially confirmed it’s ongoing they are accepting that if it goes wrong now they will get the stick they got, quite rightly, when it fell through last year.
That would suggest an increased confidence from the club of it happening. We’ve been here before and it went wrong fingers crossed we will have something to cheer soon.
 
After many people on forums, including myself, saying we really need something from the club to let us know what's going on, I think they've read our words and that is it. Possibly the best they can do at present due to the sensitive stage of negotiations.

Without fans at matches, in the pubs or hospitality the only way for them to guage the mood is to come on the forums.

A few, from the club have actually posted but, after a burst of activity, have invariably vanished.

It's pathetic to see them pretending to be one of the lads, you either are or you aren't ...

... they, so obviously, aren't.

It's been agreed. I said on Sunday morning. Just checked to confirm. I wanted to be clear as the ink wasn't dry. But they have agreed terms.
 
No bother mate, all the people who've said that will be on here as soon as they've finished their tea ...

... of humble pie, sour grapes and a few red herrings <laugh>
Ha I'll be highly surprised if they come on and admit you were right
Plenty that appreciate the info from you @Prehab26 @Magnus @Wheatsheaf and any others , cheers lads . Friday beers time

You may well be due apologies from two different forums ...

... although I'm counting no chickens <laugh>

In all honesty I really don't want to be pointing fingers and I'm sure you, Magnus, etc feel the same. We're all supposed to be Sunderland together and all pull together. I hope things work out as we hope and we can just get back to supporting our team.

Rodwell specifically mentioned once due diligence on a deal is done the next stage would be to hopefully have a share purchase agreement drawn up and then the deal completed, that fits with what you are saying about where we are at currently.

Plenty on SMB with serious trust issues.

CEO of the club goes out of his way to go on a podcast days after a rumour of him saying no takeover in a pub, and states in podcast that there is actually a takeover.

Yet still some say he's making it up.

I don't know who are worst , the Sunderland fans seem hell bent on its not happening or Trump voters?
 
They'll say they're as happy as the rest of us, which is their whole set up anyway, we get bought out they win we don't they still get the consolation prize of being right.

"I think we'll get beaten easily by Portsmouth but no one will be more pleased than me to be wrong."

Same shyte every season tbh.
 
10th November people. I’ve got a feeling in my gut that @Wheatsheaf knows what he’s talking about. Although I don’t have a clue why they’d wait until then, but I guess that could just be a self imposed deadline the parties have set to their lawyers to get it all sorted.
