GOM just said something over the road which I thought was interesting. Fuhrman has already been through the efl checks, that firstly tells us how close it actually was. And secondly it points to fpp deciding not to announce anything until everything was done last year, something thats appears to be happening again now.

If it's Fuhrman and Sartori, I believe they've both gone through the fit and proper tests, so it would be more a case of checking the business plan, so it could be much shorter. It only takes much longer if there are doubts over the completeness and accuracy of the details provided, or that the buyers might be human rights abusing, copyright pirating, murderers."
You're the only person claiming to have information that says basically no sale and the Don still being the owner. The only person. Four others, all of whom know folk off the board and go to matches with them and in at least 3 cases have posted for years all say different. Surely you can see why folk would think you're passing off nothing more than an opinion and pretending to have a source.
Because we're two people who've never met and both posting what we can. I have, as I've admitted, been told very little this time. I could easily do an 'ifs, buts and maybe' routine, as you seem to be doing, but that's pointless.
Really? Not doubting you, that's a 'Really?' of utmost surprise. Because the only reason I could see for doing that would be if you were buying a club, as there si no other reason for having one. I'm not sure you need one to chuck a loan in.
fwiw Barnes never mentioned the fit and proper test - just that the EFL would be informed and the administrative work with them can begin. That is likely to be fit and proper tests but may also just be a box ticking exercise.
I've heard the exact same as the poster tbf. As mentioned earlier I've also heard there is something happening and that it's close from another person that I know in real life (prehab). I'm sure there's conflicting information coming out of the club because the person who told me they don't think anything is happening definitely wouldn't be making it up. NQD has said things previously that lead me to believe he has a source at the club so I don't doubt him. I'm just hoping that the positive stuff that's coming out is the real reflection of the position.
They were buying the club last year I have zero doubt about that, you dont set up fpp sunderland just for a loan. And Donald was telling anyone who would listen the deal was done.
I could loan Donald money without DD, EFL or WTF ... ... although now I'd need permission from FPP, OK?
FPP already have companies and addresses that could've bought the club. But they created a new company using the SOL as an address with the permission of the current owners. I've never seen that ever before unless it was for the purposes of a takeover. I was ridiculed, for ages, for saying it was a takeover ... ... it was a takeover.
The only thing I think seriously, is you guess at everything, the same as everybody does btw, so that’s no criticism, but you tend to put it in language that indicates certainty, and people jump on that, as you put all sides to all arguments, and therefore can’t be right or wrong. Oh and you use different user names on both forums, and were banned here under your original name then came back as this transformation. Anyway you ok kittens m8?
Fair comment. Obviously I hope you are wrong. Although I did think if Donald dragged us from administration, Sustained us and gave us the chance to get new owners and revive the club, I wouldn't begrudge him a profit. I don't know the facts same as most. Hopefully he isn't holding out for a greedy over inflated profit and does the right thing for the club.
The moment anyone claims they're 'unaware of RTG or people on this forum' is where they throw any credibility out the window. "Who is this Mittens person of whom you speak."
