You said in an earlier post you got it wrong. Well not quite, You were right about FPP, it just turned out to be a loan rather than a takeover. I might be wrong here so someone correct me but wasn't this exactly a year ago ? I'm just wondering if the loan was Donald hoping to get promotion and get a better price from FPP. A 12 month loan, now the 12 months are up but the agreement was a sale either way ? Shot in the dark but I've always thought there must be more to it than billionaires turning up and just borrowing us 9 million.
Aye I’d be happy to go somewhere UK, but we’ve already a week planned for that end September, and there’s threat of thunderstorms all ower this week. Guess it’s Ramside. Not the same as the Côte d’Azur like
Not quite tbh. It was always supposed to be a takeover. It was only when that faltered that a loan was arranged. I was wrong because I posted what I'd been told, that it was a done deal. Donald obviously thought so when he introduced 'the new owners' to Jack Ross ... ... he didn't say, 'we're taking out a loan from these blokes'.
Thats what i mean, Like Donald still wanted part of it or some such. Negotiations may have changed from takeover to , well here's some money, get the club up and we'll come back in 12 months with a better offer, or one closer to Donald's expectations.
We just back from Berwick this afternoon, went up on Friday, to haven, rocked up for a pint, nope gotta book, kids wanted to go swimming, nope gotta book, all quite bizzare, necessary I know, nowt wrong with a staycation mate
Bar enough trying to have a pint mate, went to meet pal for a ‘quick couple’ yesterday. 40 mins to get into Spoons.
No, Ross said he'd been introduced to the new owners after the Wimbledon game iirc. They then went to the match at the new Spurs ground on the Sunday.
Was ok once we knew what we were doing, sat outside with our own table, bowl for the dog and table service, do it al via the app, covid Safe, one way systems etc, wasn’t unnerving at all, expensive though considering, no entertainment or activities on
Wonder if I can go in Dragons Den. ‘I’m looking for £150million for a 99% stake in my business’ Wing it back to the Prem, cash out my 1% for £30million. Sound.
Still nice to get away though mate ain’t it. The entertainment is just background noise while you have a pint anyway. Any time away is good for the soul even if it’s just up the road. I like Berwick and the surrounding area. Nice up there.
Was just about to ask this. That was the reply to my message over there about him being a reliable source.
Storey just isn’t going away like... If our bid successful we will publish a 20 point plan for the club on the day we take control. We have conducted a root & branch audit of the club & want our plans on the academy, recruitment, ticket prices & growth strategy to be public. The fans are the club. #Sunderland #SAFC
Aye it was nice mate, especially as I’ve been shielding since March, Berwick has lovely beaches, dog friendly, only 90 mins away, wasn’t busy at all, takeaways to the caravan, Alton towers this weekend
