    Please accept this as fact, they have not fell out at all, they speak regularly and I have been in their company since the play off final.
    It is just not true they have fell out.

    Do you know any new investor or new shareholders have to stick their pro rata % in cash in to an escrow account for 16 month to cover the running of the club.

    Yeah, I do, Bob. Which is why I highlighted the bit in Southern A's comment about no further funding being available unless raised by buying their crypto. If they can't show evidence of funds they fail straight away. It's why this reaks of being dodgy as hell to me.

    56 million of that negaive net spend was our first season in league 1 getting rid of as many high earners as possible.

    Don't let the facts cloud your judgement though.

    Taking the anomoly of the first season in league 1 out we had a negative net spend (according to transfermarket) of approximately 1.4 million over the last 3 years.

    Every time I come on here I assume we have moved on. If there has ever been a dafter story associated with our club it isnt in my lifetime. Lets just all gan fishin and share stories, much more relevant.

    Social media builds up these stories to a ridiculous degree tbh.

    The club aren't even involved in this share sale but are taking endless flak.

    I think this furore is a legacy from the last takeover when it actually mattered.

    surely i am not alone here...one after another 'new member' 'long time lurker' 'low post number' are appearing and not one has anything remotely positive to say, all questioning the lads trying to offer a bit gossip (yep, that is all it is, gossip and it is as likely to be true as not be true but some seem to hang on every word as if it is gospel waiting to pounce) can one of you please, and this is a genuine request, tell me why you have to be so negative...why can you not either join in the chat without the agression/ignore the entire episode/sit and read and wait to see what happens?

    personally, i choose to think the lads are passing on what they have genuinely heard, they may turn out to be correct or they may find out it was bollox but i just cannot see why anyone would get so het up about it, i mean, it is hardly as if they are asking for cash for each bit of info, they stand to gain absolutely nothing from passing it all on yet some feel the need to dig, dig and dig again hoping to 'trip them up', honestly it is so damn childish from adults.

    Even after all this time I have not the slightest clue what William Storey is doing regarding SAFC. I don't know if he's insane or everyone else is but it makes no sense and never has done. Yet it's still going on.

    That reminded me of a series of excited texts I got late the other night.

    The gist was that Niall Quinn was involved in another group wanting to buy into the club <laugh>

    I didn't post it, because I think it's just wild gossip, but looking at Quinn’s face at Wembley made me wish it was true.

    I know what you mean, his persistence is admirable. It's also what makes me think he might be quite mad because it's never been a possibility from the start, which was years ago.

    I've seen it suggested many times that he's a mag plant but he's inoffensive and a big time suck up to Sunderland so I doubt it. I don't think there are any mags out there with the intelligence or subtlety to cook this **** up and keep it going for this long.

    I genuinely believe he's in with the other two. Has been from the start.

    Refreshing to have a few pages debating this without resorting to abuse!

    Re WMS article I linked earlier there were some valid questions but I think it's fair to say the assumption was very much negative without knowing the facts. Worth debating at least :emoticon-0105-wink:

    I do not know Chris from WMS or if he is negative, but those that put a negative spin on anything always seem to have the solution for that negatively if you read RTG.
