Serious takeover talk

She incorporated a company called Cantervale Ltd which even at the time, she said had absolutely nothing to do with the Newcastle takeover and is actually trading now if you look at Companies House.

And her company didn't have an address of "Landfill NE1"

 

I've really appreciated all your info from the start, so thank you.

I wonder if it's possible that many of the participants will tap into the meeting via Skype or some other such video conference medium - they wouldn't necessarily need to be there in person, so there is potential that SD (or a stand in) could still be in the North East. I can't imagine Barnsley's owners coming across from China/America to attend as one example.

 

Having lost my jumping boots years agoi am perplexed by this:

This is really schit or bust for us imo ...

... in real trouble or in dreamland.

Riever i thought the deal was done and dusted?completed,.finalised.and awaiting announcement..are you being deliberately abstruse!

 

3 points and 3 billionaires on Saturday will do me nicely

 

This would make sense. A delegate could be at the meeting in his stead with video conferencing if required. League meeting at 9am, takeover announced at 11

 

I'll happily respond to all of your questions, post the link, etc if you say who you are on RTG.

It's no secret who I am, and other people have posted as the same people, so it's surely not a problem.

This is a very easy going forum and most posters know each other personally.

 

My guess is oddbod, based purely on illiteracy.

 

Shot myself in the foot there, obviously meant "is", damn my big fingers to hell.

 

Go into 'tools' and edit mate, you can do that at any time.

As a grammar pedant it's a Godsend

 

Sweet mate, hopefully will have things sussed by end of the week.

 

There were plans previously drawn up to convert the Sheepfolds area into a 'sports quarter' but the council couldn't fund it in these times of austerity. Maybe the Dell boys will look to rejuvenate that? Would mean a load of compulsory purchases and relocation of existing busineses but they look to have a decent bank balance and that could be a very good investment - modelled on Barca, lots of different sports facilities and team in the same location?

 

By the way, I'm Darius on both.

 

Bring on the Sunderland cricket team.

 

Indoor arena for Basketball and Ice Hockey as well as for concerts during winter

 

Didn't they state a couple of weeks ago that they were attending the MK Dons game. Maybe this was there intention all the time to break the news and be there for the first official match in charge?

 

I received quite a few WhatsApp messages from my Italian millionaire ex-employer but only had one conversation with him while he was in the States, time difference etc.

It really made me laugh out loud.

During our conversation he actually said, "So Smoog, what eez a sheep fold?"

That obviously doesn't look funny written down but it almost reduced me to tears, he was just baffled.

When we recovered ourselves he explained, as best he could, that part of what he thought he'd heard was that Sheepfolds should be flattened and the whole area redeveloped.

In reality none of those businesses have any need to be in that specific area and they certainly lend nothing to the riverscape.

The entire city of Sunderland should be thinking how they can get involved in helping the new people improve the place imo.

 

Who's the main culprit over there for questioning your info over there?

 

Sounds like the Italian version of 'allo 'allo! .

Could re-develop brownfield sites in Hendon or Pennywell and relocate the businesses there. Puts companies in better facilities with better access to transport routes like A19.

As a city, we really under-utilise the riverside upstream of the town bridge.
