    No I've not done that at all. Donald deserves criticism for how he's run the club, no question, but he's been pushing his own agenda for ages. "The takeover that cried wolf", bollox. Thats him pushing his agenda to look clever. And he's likely to do the same if he doesn't like the next lot of owners. End of the day my opinion is there is a takeover happening, too slow for my liking, but still going on and I'll be glad to see the back of Donald and Methven. But it won't stop some twisting, moaning, griping about whoever is in charge just because things don't go exactly how they want them to go or jumping on the back of something to make a name or profile for themselves

    Thanks for the update. You could argue it’s not agreed until it’s signed. It’s certainly not water tight. Verbal agreements are no good to us. We need signed legally binding contracts and announcements! Thanks anyway.

    Thanks for the info. It’s positive as in it’s all agreed, shouldn’t be long for announcements you would think if signing off the deal is what’s left.

    Its like when we sign a player it always seems to drag on for ages. You would think if its all agreed the signing part would be the easiest bit

    But this is Sunderland

    No mate, not at all.

    My info comes from two people loosely connected to FPP.

    Neither would be able to say anything to me.

    I'm in the same position as you in this instance.

    It hasn't changed for a while now. It's agreed but not signed. Some minor issues to sort not relating to to terms of agreement.

    No bother. Said the same a while ago mate. Was told it would be sorted before now, hence why I messaged some people with some specifics but it's apparently got some administration issues but nowt major.

    Cheers for the info.
    Hope the new people/person have their own man lined up also instead of Parkinson. He must be also replaced.

    New owners will obviously be massive, new manager is another boost we really need right now.
