    No, that was Trevor Ford in the 50s I think.

    Takeover called off, EFL loan accepted. A week in the life of Sunderland AFC ahead?

    the fact he’s using words like that tell me he’s trying to be crystal clear for the reasons @Magnus said.

    It’s interesting the echo ran the same quotes but also said it was their understanding the new investor was kept up to speed and ultimately had an involvement, given KLD was liking Johnsons appointment on instagram he obviously didnt have an issue with it. @Magnus was probably right it has to be seen to be done by the old board or they risk another situation like they had with Coleman

    Totally agree. Exactly the same thought occurred to me after watching that performance yesterday.

    Yeah I agree with this, in reality unless how can Rodwell be sure KLD won’t come in and rip it up unless he knows he’s happy with ut

    I'm reading all today's news that the takeover has been delayed due to loans to FPP and kld wanting more % etc and seeing some people having a bit doubt still.
    Rodwell has said the paperwork is with the efl and I'm taking that as the press are normally slow with the news and all that has been ironed out and now awaiting credit checks and police checks haha to be done on the new owners and shouldn't hopefully take much longer tbf, not long now till Jan window and they'll want that done by then

    Very true.
    I don't if you have seen the film Longest Day, the guy who played Major Howard (Richard Todd) he was actually one of the paras who jumped with the other first 200 to land along with my dad to take the bridge .

    People can believe me or not but if it come from the new guy Parkinson could take the club to court, like Colman did, for once the club is saying the right things

    Sitting here doing a crossword while waiting for my dinner my thoughts turn to the takeover.
    My opinion for what it's worth the takeover will go through and we will get promoted.
    Thanks to Prehab, Magnus and Smug for all their positive posts.

    If SD takes the EFL loan and the takeover collapses because of it, that's the end of Sunderland like. If that happens, we need to absolutely destroy the **** in any and every way possible.

    On what basis they could sue the club? The signatures are of the current owners and they can take advise from anyone for a decision, including Dreyfus or Sartori.

    I don’t think it’s necessarily Parkinson who’d be the problem but the EFL. The fit and proper test is there for a reason, as ridiculous as the implementation of it is. If our new owner is making decisions before he’s approved to, it shows we have zero respect for their rules.
