I think he's tired of the same endless conversation.

"When do you think it'll happen mate?"

"In the next few weeks, hard to say."

"Could it be this week?"

"It's possible."

"Ha, you said it could be this week and now it's Saturday ... you're just guessing." <doh>

Makes sense really, doesn't it. And they would now be dealing with like-minded, successful business people, where failure is NOT an option......rather than a pair of chancers.

My own, not being in the know, reading of the situation is that Donald could not afford to fund Sunderland, certainly not after the parachute payments ceased. So I presume their plan was all along to get us promoted then sell for a profit.
Now as we have not been promoted they have to sell or the club goes bust, hanging on to a minority shareholding in the hope of a profit in the future.

Not sure what FPP etc position is I guess at some point they were intending to buy the club, but that has not come off?

I probably know the least of any of those people but I'm confident about my info.

Still nothing to say Fuhrman has given up.

FPP must've put £1m into this all so far, with DD, lawyers, advisors, feasibility studies, flights, etc.

Things are clear for me if you look at it this way ...

... they invested in a club being run by a chancer with little real wealth, why not continue to invest now when we have serious people?

That investment could eventually make them a lot more than if Donald and Methven were still there.

Thing I’ve found odd is they haven’t even been mentioned in any of the articles at all. They get a big say in this deal, and even if they were being paid off and leaving I would expect that to be mentioned. It’s like their names are being deliberately kept out of it.

Personally, I think if they had doubts about the levels money they would need to invest in the long term in the championship, having someone like KLD to set things in motion and maybe one of them gets their foot in the door with even something like 5%.

Oh and bring on page 1k soon let that 1st comment be a good one lads no pressure hahaha
 
In my dreams there will be a catch-up episode of Sunderland Till I Die covering the covid years and Sunderland football club through to the vaccine.

Then in the final scenes it cuts away to a successful vaccine being deployed to the masses and the takeover officially announced. The final scene is the stadium of light packed to the rafters for the first properly attended game since covid 19 is reported as being driven into the ground.

The show plays out to Kinna Granis version of wise men say and then I will cry my eyes out
