    Quite right mate.

    I've posted what I can and haven't even given hints about the couple of things I've been asked not to mention.

    I happen to think Don may well end up with some minor shareholding but I can't see it just being a reshuffle of existing shareholders. Why would existing shareholders need a period of exclusivity, which is what Barnes reported. I might be missing something but that doesn't make sense to me.

    Great update thanks, I remember back at the start although you cant share the details you were happy with what you were told and it would be good for the club, is that still the case?

    The only thing kitten mittens lost was the plot.

    Until earlier today I was certainly not “ITK”. Today I had reason to speak to a director of an EFL club who has an historic link to SAFC.

    After the business end of the call ended I told him about me being a Sunderland supporter and asked if he had any knowledge about the proposed takeover...

    He took a deep breath and told me he knew nothing - I can therefore officially confirm that I know nothing about the takeover and neither does the guy I spoke to...

    I hope that he doesn’t think I’ve broken his confidence

    There has definitely been a big effort this time around to keep things away from the public
    Like Keith Downie said in his experience deals done away from media speculation and a bigger audience have a better chance of going through

    As mentioned yesterday we have to take the updates coming through with a positive outlook. Everyone should appreciate the updates and remain upbeat.
    On a scale of 1-10 how confident are you currently feeling that it will go through this time?

    Thanks, I'll take that .. Compared to previous potential takeovers it definitely feels like there is more of a drive to get the deal done by all the relevant parties this time

    Callum Wilson is an annoyingly good signing for the scruffs up the road so we deserve a takeover.

    Sorry like but Nick Barnes is not sticking his head on the chopping board by repeating again on Saturday that a deal is progressing well and even going one step further by saying its about to be passed to the EFL if new people aint about to takeover.

    In my opinion he is getting the info direct from SD aswell.

    Peoples heads would explode <laugh>

    Even admits himself that it hasn’t even got past the bid stage. Complete muppet!
