    He, and I, didn't say it was a given.

    He does believe they'd make a statement out of courtesy to the supporters ....

    .... especially as they're intent on buying a football club.

    Yeah I get that, I'm just saying that based on what they've done before, they haven't ever clarified that they were interested in buying us publicly, or even talked about it in any way. Making a statement confirming they're not interested in something doesn't seem to fit their style so far.

    Be a turn-up if it was him. Not quite sure how that would work, and not sure they'd bin FPP off necessarily if it was him... he's already a shareholder in Madrox so he's one of the few people who probably would keep the current structure the same potentially.

    To be fair though, it's a hell of a sized bit part. If they invested the same amount in us that they invested in The Marlins, Id be delighted

    Please....someone take on this club and do the right thing, We have 47,000 stadium that we could fill if the right owners made the right decisions, we have a world class academy, we have the most enviable fan base...surely someone can see this or this me just being blinkered.

    One of those things was always vague and never at a point that could be announced.

    The other, not buying the club, would be definitive.

    So they're two entirely different things.

    True, but I guess my feeling is that based on their profile, they aren't a 'public statement' group of guys. Another reason why I quite like them really, clearly isn't a vanity project.

    I'm just laughing at Jardine on RTG mate.

    He's obviously been desperately waiting for FPP to fall through so he could have a go at me ...

    ... he's seen this news, got himself all excited and dived in feet first <laugh>

    What a miserable sack of shyte the lad is ...

    ... openly celebrating what could be a massive blow to our club.

    Aye alas a spurned Charlie has informed FPP of the "Sunderland Disease"(it's well known in the game). The fans "unrealistic expectations" is directly responsible for the club anually fighting off relegation from the Premier League, the ultimate relegation that ensued, the subsequent relegation to the third tier and it's failure to achieve promotion. If only the club could rid itself of these 30-40,000 people success would be a formality. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Sadly crowd size/gate receipts are less important these days.
