Only problem I have is that I’ve put a few clem on during lockdown so my SunDELLand T-shirt doesn’t fit me. I look like a strangulated testicle with it on
Bloody hope so, but if they have waited this long, then surely with everything up in the air, they would just wait and wait, and turn the screw more and more on Donald. The only way i can see it is if Donald defaults on the loan payment on purpose, to lose us for the 10 million. I have no idea how it is structured, and i probably still wouldn't have a Scooby Doo even if the contracts were put in front of me. We need some good news, i know that much
I have been wondering why we had no interested buyers as we have been told we are debt free etc...own a tremendous training facility and premier league ground with massive support. Well I understand now....black hole!
He may have only paid £12m (or whatever) but that doesn't meant that was the value of the club. If this £25m was paid to Short then that would make the value nearer £40m. What he paid doesn't diminish the value of the club, though whether it's worth anywhere near that now is another story.
Ah ok, that's good I think then as he posted the same over there just before you put it on here so looking like it's coming from two different sources so hopefully true. Fingers and everything else crossed.
So does that mean that some of this anger should be directed at Short for allowing this to happen and essentially not leaving us debt free?
But thats not why they bought it. They thought we can just have this as a profit, people have called them chancers. I would be sued if I typed what I think of these 2 gentlemen. I went to The Sunderland legends things, Charlie was speaking, our lass said he speaks very well, my response, posh double glazing salesman
With all this to'ing and fro'ing going on..is there a chance the club could go bust? How much debt does the club have and to whom is it owing?
£10 million, or dollars to FPP thats all I know about. These lads just left that money on the table, it was like fishing
Fair enough. With him being present at one or both of the finals last season and something that I vaguely remember being said on here once, I have often wondered if he retained some kind of financial control
Have you heard anything similar to Whiteleas and Doon Toon, Smug? Both seemed to have heard more last night? I have the SunDELLland t shirt in large, hoping it still fits.
I’ve heard from taxi drivers - I know I know - that shipped SD, CM and co between the Roker Hotel and the SOL that CMs lass would mention Short in conversations.
If there's one thing I would like it's certainty. Donald has basically dangled potential investors or future takeovers in front of us from literally his initial press conference. That means we're always hanging on for the big bucks and never able to relax and only think about the on pitch stuff. If anyone gets the club for £10m it's a great deal for them and Donald is losing money, somewhere between £5m-10m. I don't think that's likely but we shall see. I'd also be shocked if he and FPP could get a deal done in a few days even at that price, so I'm taking it with a pinch of salt. He clearly didn't appoint Jim Rodwell with this in mind, so to do this would have meant changing his mind as a result of these stories yesterday.
Smug this has been an assumption for a few months now Do you think it has now come to a head and is now a fact ??????
