    Doesn't appear to be. He also received a positive one.

    Nixon claiming it's still on but stuff to work through.

    The problem is now, any negative rumour is going wild. Everyone has gone to ground in terms of leaks coming out.

  3. Think you're right mate. Rocky over on SMB suggesting those thinking the deal's off may have been a bit hasty!
    FFS........don't know how much more of this I can endure!

    I saw you this morning, I shouted over and when you turned around you were actually Alan Barnes.
    Very similar.

    I personally don't believe anything that's leaking from anything like WhatsApp messages, if there ever were any genuine leaked messages from a private group then Donald etc would know not to post anything else in there in future because it can't be trusted not to get out.

    I also doubt he's getting out of meetings and spreading around the outcome amongst people who can't keep their traps shut.

    I’m far uglier than him but not ugly enough to knock you back.

    although my gut instinct tells me this has gone tits-up I find it difficult to believe that a business deal involving professionals at the top of their field would signal problems/cancellation of a proposed deal on WhatsApp

    You look like a picasso after he imbibed 25 scrumpy Jack's, 3 scotch eggs and a Yorkie bar to comfort himself from his dog dying.

    The journalist who told me 'off' is now admitting he was repeating what he'd heard from someone else.

    FFS am I sick of all this shyte.

    Balls to informing people, i'm only posting anything that comes from someone connected to the club from now on.

    The last definite info, from there, is that a big meeting is planned.

    And that's it, I can't say another word and sorry for ignoring any pm's.

    This being Sunderland my natural reaction is to think "sod it, it's off, what did you expect?"

    However, if the Americans are serious about buying into English football the optimist in me thinks "I can't seriously think of another club that gives them a better opportunity to buy into a club with as many positives as SAFC" - thinking in terms of pure debt held, infrastructure already in place and potential.

    If this falls apart, it's their loss not ours.

    Let's just hope one way or another it's sorted soon, this is no good for anyone's sanity. **** me, when it started I thought "I'll not do much work this week". I'm now about a month into doing **** all, going to end up sacked before long! Mind, it's pretty telling that even when I do next to nowt no one notices!
