    As GG says, there's a suitable company to buy Madrox and even if there wasn't you can create a company in a morning. If FPP want the club they'll get it. I'm not knocking other people, who believe in Gray, but I'm not sure he can persuade people to risk up to a million quid for due diligence which might be a wild goose chase if FPP step in.

    As Smug says it takes about 20 minutes to create a company - I did it last year :D But even so, I believe FPP Sunderland still technically exists - they just issued a notice advising it was closing but didn't actually close it. Feels like it was more brinkmanship from them. May be wrong tho

    You're not smart enough to be annoying, you can just about achieve mildly irritating. Although I am quite happy to point out how full of **** you are. And when the takeover goes through you'll slink off, only to be seen again under a new username and the whole cycle starts again.

    End of the month seems to be what Barnes was hinting at. So 3 or 4 weeks, at least.
    Nothing to back it up but personally I don't think anything will be done before the transfer window shuts.

    Why don’t you say who your source is, you expect others to.

    The prospective new owners might want to complete in a different manner, especially after the last takeover broke down at the last minute.

    I've heard from an impeccable source that you're on the money. ITV is bringing back Beadele's About but with Barnes hosting the show and the whole takover talk is an elaborate wind up which culiminates with the cackling Don bursting out of a massive cake just before the Bristol City game.

    Thanks. Was just lurking and accidentally hit the quote button after one of NQD’s longer posts. The only way I could manage not to post anything was sticking in the “.” Anyway back to lurking for me !

    Being a billionaire owner doesn’t of course make you a good owner and we’ve seen that before. What it does do, it enables risks to be taken in terms of pumping money into things other than just the first team ie academy etc without it being financial suicide.

    If things don’t work out, a billionaire owner can afford to have another go at it. We’ve see. With SD his plan hasn’t worked and he needs to sell asap cos he can’t afford not to
