S.A.F.C. - the future

[Mick Sterbs]

Perfect analogy mate
Your making things up to suit your agenda just like trump
And your right it’s getting boring
Not sure why your even here you post nothing about Sunderland have no interest in any other discussion only appear on this one thread with one agenda.
Yea the takeover might fail at the last minute. These things happen the truth will out and we will move on supporting the lads that’s what matters to most people on this board not some warped agenda against the current owners. Try posting an opinion about the match on the match day thread you might get a bit more credibility

I don’t think NQD believes a single word of what he posts on here. He pushes an alternative narrative just to goad people into reacting. He spouts all sorts of ****e, all contrary to what others are saying, the press are saying and people close to the club are saying without a single piece of evidence to back up any of his claims. All just to be contrary.

he’s like a labour MP being interviewed on tv going against every policy the government have without a single alternative of their own. They stick to their guns even when it makes them look stupid because they must have the opposite view.

FWIW I find him quite entertaining. I imagine him typing away, tongue firmly in his cheek wondering what reactions he’ll get.

Are you suggesting that;

Sacking Parkinson
Moving towards a new internal structure
Hiring Speakman as Sporting Director (taking him away from an established post elsewhere)
Having Speakman hire a new Head of Recruitment
Hiring Johnson as head coach

All comes from a set up you've just described as clueless/amateurish?

Not to mention the money the above would involve- of which Donald does not have

There comes a time when people should just stop squirming and take defeat on the chin.

Imagine witnessing whats happened in the last week or so and still thinking a takeover aint done. The strange little world some people live in is terrifying like. If you want any evidence as to how close it is and who is now calling the shots here it is

 

[gillmackem]

Not really. Spoke to someone today and the loan deadline from FPP last week hasn’t been paid back and it seems like there’s still a lot of work to be done.

Heard and posted on here the deal looked like it was going to be completed in some capacity (re-distribution of shares at best) last week, but it looks like the french kids advisors have obviously said that a 60% majority with the 3 stooges and him footing the bill with 40% isn’t good enough

I stand by everything I’ve said since I came on here. The fans have been taken for mugs and the ITK’s have their sources who are close to CM/SD, Hence why since July they’ve said something has been happening etc When in-reality SD has been desperately trying to keep the show running

What was stated on here in July/Aug is totally different to what is supposedly happening now. Yet people for some reason still state they the ITK’s were correct all along. It’s a totally different scenario. I could drag up multiple examples of % or FPP or meetings on wearside etc. And nothing transpired. But because we’ve been linked with a french kid then gang means they were right all along despite nothing been heard about the french kid till recently

This french kid has only came on the scene the last month or so. And there’s still a long long way to go Even if he’s still interested with due diligence etc

I’m not getting into an argument. I’m not falling out with anyone. People can have hope but it’s been false hope, every Friday for the last 4 months

The 3 stooges want their cake and eat it. They’ve all ready had Cowley turn them down for the job die to the DoF model. They jumped the gun with Poyet by realising info to ‘fans’, same as the takeover being done last week to RR

I hope we get Johnson across the line, but the problem is he has to speak to the club, and that’s Where managers/players can see what a **** show we really are and run a mile

I think this is what’s happening with the french kid and his advisors unfortunately

He’s definitely interested, but not with the current regimes plans

Enjoy the game

Your entiteld to your opinion that's fine!
Hopefully your wrong and this is sartori kld
And jones that are restructuring the club but if it is Donald,methen and there cronies where are they getting the investment from?
The new dof when speaking of the way forward for the club costs alot of money
Not having a go at you btw but if you can tell me where Donald's getting the money from he's skint

 

[Comfy]

It really didn't.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danelaw
There were Norse raids and the graves of those raiders have been found but they never settled there like they did in Northern and Eastern England.

That was only one example mate, plenty of stories about Viking’s around the area but saying my original post was just a little jest taking in the op name and this being about the takeover then I’ll politely refrain from getting into a discussion about it.

 

[sheepman]

When this takeover happens will you promise to never post again you boring twat?

Did you say in a previous post Johnson hasn’t met anyone from the club?

Cheer’s mate you’ve summed up what I’ve been trying to say on one sentence

 

[JHmackem]

Lee Johnson confirmed

 

[Southern A]

You must log in or register to see media

In charge today!!!

 

[JHmackem]

He's ****ing taking charge today. That's brave like.

 

[PickleRick]

Johnson confirmed!
Welcome aboard. Get us promoted lad and prove the doubters(already) wrong!

 

[JHmackem]

Also, I had him at 26/1. Get the **** in.

 

[PickleRick]

He's ****ing taking charge today. That's brave like.

****ing hell. Does he even know the players names yet

'Get stuck into him number 4'
'Lovely pass 8'
'I'll learn your ****ing names at training Monday'

 

[Julio]

I will do the crazy thing of getting behind him and giving him a run of games before writing him off

 

[Davyred]

I'm going to keep off RTG for a bit

 

[Southern A]

Refers to Kristjaan, Jim, and “the owners”

Clear no reference to CM, SD or JS or KLD. The club are clearly not wanting to make it clear yet until it’s officially announced

 

[raven_5]

By the simpletons who cant think properly

As the fans of Barnsley and Bristol on rtg:

"he’s a record breaking head coach, he’s responsible for the longest losing runs, in the history of both Bristol and Barnsley. And he’s a bellender"

"I quite like Sunderland, so I reallyyyyyy hope you don't get him.

Not only is he a terrible manager - eight League One defeats in a row, with an FA Cup exit (deserved on the balance of play) to Altrincham - but he's also a snake."


I'm not writing him off but I don't see him the ideal appointment, not even close.
Very please with the set up on the whole.

 

[Southern A]

Taking over today is brave like. Lose and he’s in trouble before he’s had a chance on the training pitch

It takes balls and I love it.

 

[Scootsie]

Johnson taking charge today? Straight in, nee messing about.

Ha’way the ****ing lads!

 

[TonyG]

TBH I've only ever laughed at him, not with him, I never understood why people thought he was hilarious.

He says his children are profoundly deaf ...

... I think they're pretending.

As a registered deaf person

 

[sad-eyed prophet]

The takeover has to be done. There wouldn't be anywhere near the level of activity we've seen in recent days if it was still way off.

Not in the know at all but common sense tells me its signed off awaiting whatever before announcement.

The whatever is probably the sacking of Parkinson and having a new man in. Wouldn't be surprised if Johnson announced today and the takeover announced within next 7 days at an appropriate moment when dust settles a bit after recruitment carry on and the management team are ready to face the inevitable media requirements.

Good post mate. I'm not itk either,and I try to look at what's happening with a bit of common sense.
Parkinson's general demeanour over recent weeks,coupled with an obvious drop in performance from the players, would indicate something afoot.
Surprise,surprise...him being sacked.
McGeady being recalled to the squad.
At least half a dozen people on here and elsewhere getting information of changes in the ownership being imminent......good people,not given to wind-ups.
Comments from Hunter and others in the media.
KLD twitter account clearly giving a thumbs up.
Speakman's interview,definately stating a long term plan in place,with clear,well funded objectives....completely new for us.
A young,ambitious manager with experience of this league ,and the one above, being appointed.(To be confirmed at the time of writing!)
If I ask myself if any of the above would indicate that SD was still in control and was the driving force behind all of this,I answer highly unlikely!
