Fair enough. Just trying and failing to calm things down. I'm convinced most would get on well down the pub and have frank, friendly conversations.
Hope that's not me you're trying to pick a fight with! Just pointing out name calling does not help. We are obviously all a bit anxious. I'm always an optimist but a bit of a barrack room lawyer (wrong term but might be true as well) as well. Just want us all to get on
Out of interest, why point that out specifically to me and not the person calling other posters liars?
Applies to all really, although you did directly call an individual a clown. I missed the liars bit initially. Hey, I defend you quite a lot, although more than capable of defending yourself.
The fact that it's so secretive makes me wonder if it is in house, ie Sartori becoming major shareholder.
I've just had my first reliable news in ages. Part of the delay was Donald wanting to sell 90% of his shares at a certain price but retain 10%. For those remaining 10% he wants more, lots more. So he's basically trying to blackmail the buyers into removing him completely. I'm quite happy to back this up so, if anyone wants to sue me, you know where I am.
Which is what people were guessing at - Donald wanting to keep a stake in the club for his own benefit.
Possibly, there seemed to be a lot of info leaked last time via smug for instance. Either more careful this time, or in house shift making it easier not to leak info. Anyway it looks like things are definitely progressing this time. That's all that really matters. As long as they are mega rich decent owners lol.
All just confirmation that he is a selfish greedy little ****e who only wants to make cash out of us and doesn’t have our best interests at heart.
You do know that you'll be hounded out now for using the term 'black' in a negative context! There will be equality activists reporting back to parliament as we speak and you will have to resign all connection with decent football... Oer, hang on a minute, once they appreciate that you support Sunderland, and with what we've had served up to us on the pitch over the last few seasons, they'll think that you already have!
How many of the 23000 you mention watch the match on dodgy boxes and firesticks. I know a load of people that do.
And right here lies the problem we are all worried about. SD changing the goal posts late in the day and potentially scuppering yet another takeover.
I spoke to the friend of SD today, not giving anything away. I asked if deal done, he said ‘not heard anything officially! But I know things are progressing, fit and proper part is a long drawn out process.’
I sincerely hope that any new owners have told him to do one - and thats been the delay and he's now accepted it and will move on. He doesnt deserve to make money out of this deal - hes set us back years.
