Serious takeover talk

I'd be absolutely foaming with SD if this takeover does fail due to him ****ing about for his personal interests when he has repeatedly said he will do the best by the club. Thing is, none of us really know wtf is going on at the minute and who has done or not done what, so for the time being I think we need to hold off apportioning blame until actual facts come out - if indeed this takeover doesn't happen that is

 

I’m still confident we will get there we are too far down the line. Fortunes spent on legal teams etc. This information flies in the face of most of the evidence we have thus far.

 

Disagree.
Donald and Methan are chancers.

 

*****THIS ISN'T OFF SMUG/RIV*****
It's also just a bit of a rumour and I can't say if it's true or not but you can make your own minds up. I'm not ITK or passing this one as 100% truth


"I've been told to ignore rumours its off and that its very much still on."



With that in mind Donald's tweet has me confused tbh.

 

This takeover is worse than any comedown I've ever had, up and down like a yoyo you'd think id took a dodgy cowie.

 

Sounds to me like the Dell boys have gotten cold feet.

 

Fed up of this like. Future of the club being batted about like the ball in a tennis match. Even if it actually isn't that's how it feels.

 

Who have managed to put our club on a financial level footing..

 

I think it would be a lot easier to digest (if it is off!) if we were playing decent football under a bright manager and were top of the league...but we're not

 

One interpretation of that is that the Chronicle has without corroboration copied the Sun story which was printed without corroboration which was probably based upon the threads yesterday.

SD appears (to me) to be denying the issue they're all speculating about even exists?

 

His twitter replies although, possibly deliberately vague do not suggest it’s off to me. People will read into it what they want to.

 

No sources given, not even the vaguest of vague attributing to 'someone from SAFC' or 'someone close to Sunderland's ownership team'.

Sun Journalism! Alan Nixon could have been reading yesterday's RTG and just put together a total guesswork article that will, later on, either be lauded as a scoop or just quietly forgotten or updated with a 'Sunderland's on - off billionaire take-over is is believed to be back on again as behind the scenes dealing overcomes club valuation figures!'

 

if it is off, thats business I guess, nobody will know for sure who is to blame etc. Have to say though this honestly felt like our biggest and last bite at the cherry. I guess we will have to wait and see ultimately.

 

I don't think they are particular reassuring either mate

 

The don has tweeted hel update us at the weekend so surely if was 100% off he’d just confirm it and be done

 

Echo know nowt anymore. Not even local.

 

His wording where he says 'I haven’t changed the deal' again says to me.. Much like his tweet after Consett.. Gives me the feeling that the Americans are haggling.

 

Ross has gone!!!

 

I take your point but there’s probably very little he can say if NDA’s are in place. I think his comments are fairly neutral but as I say people will read it the way they want to interpret it.
