Nah all wood mate. I'm doing it myself so not a chance I'm messing on cutting lumps of glass :)

Seen some glass screened decks and you're right, they look great - but more money than I'm willing to spend
Aye they do look good mate but it's toughened glass so there is no cutting, delivered ready cut also looks nice in between timber panels as well keeps the cost down.
 
Correct mate, it was Fuhrman sending a series of WhatsApp messages to his mate which he was showing me.

I was offered a job by the mate but Mrs Smug didn't care for his wife so I turned it down.

Since then the contact has dwindled down to next to nothing, shame.


Shìt, I thought it was a reliable source.






Joking mate :p


Yeah I remember now you posted that and someone else had heard him say it at the ground, possibly @ISOE II on about his mate back then.
 
State of over the road, posters putting up initials of people and then further on saying that the initials arent real but some people will know who they are. That site is just a group of lunatics thinking they're clones of Steven hawkings

Agree mate. It's a site where wind up merchants can flourish. Not for me at the minute.

Sad attention seekers who will come out when something happens saying "told you so" regardless of what happened. Unsure why there's such a desire to appear like you know something to people you don't know online.
You can always tell who actually knows information and who is just posting ****e based on the way they've posted anyway.
 
Didn’t Fuhrman separate from the group as well, from MSD who then went onto Southampton?

Here’s a bit with that as well MSD/Liebherr at Southampton.

Furhman/O’Brien at Sunderland.

Doesn’t O’Brien hire Liebherr plant equipment?

It’s more speculation but it’s a very long straw to connect some dots there.
Are Liebherr the monorail link... it's all coming together now

It's my coworker and he's on the far left of the picture.

<laugh>

Yeah ISOE said they were chatting about it quite happily at the match. My Italian friend, who was in the US, also said it was a hot, but open, topic in the legal firm he and FPP use.

I may have been a bit carried away but when they subsequently appeared at the Wimbledon match I thought it was game over ...

... in my position which Sunderland supporter wouldn't, it all seemed to fit.

I've been ridiculed by loads of people saying FPP have gone, dissolved the company, been paid back, etc. But, as things stand they haven't gone, or dissolved the company and they're currently the biggest investors in the club.

So all of those people were wrong, fact.

You see any logic in my thought that Fuhrman could be involved separately, he separated from the others after 20plus years shortly before the Southampton investment by MSD, and there’s business links therefore across all of the speculation.

MSD-Fuhrman-Southampton-Liebherr-O’Brien-SAFC?
 
Like me mate. Member since 2014 but got fed up the beginning of this year. I closed my account and have never been back.
Been a member since 2004 ( when It was good ) haven't deleted but very rarely go on. Too much to read to get info when you can get it easily on here

the majority of us know you were posting what you heard in good faith and as a lifelong good fan unlike some idiots that just post ****e in the hope of being liked by strangers over the net. I for one hope you keep posting what you hear as there’s not been too much to get excited about recently.

Is it a covered deck? I've got what you would call privacy blinds around mine. Still allow air circulation but 95% wind and water proof.

We face the ocean so get **** loads of weather but it certainly stops the wind and the rain. Can be retracted so as to allow an open setting as well.

There's no reason why not tbh but it's all confusing.

The initial message was "I've just agreed to buy Sunderland."

When it was subsequently reported that Dell were the proposed buyers I assumed that's what Fuhrman was actually saying.

But, looking back, I was perhaps mislead by the media.

the mods have lost control over there.
I’ll say no more because I got a warning from one, when I complained turned out it was based from something I said on here

There’s a link there isn’t there, maybe even he was keen to push the deal through and as such confidently made that claim, then when they’ve gone another way he’s stepped out.

The logic is there, and the reality that he’d want someone else to run the club, the O’Briens have links to the US which would kind of make another link, they have large holdings on the East Coast, but the O’Briens probably don’t have the net worth to carry it forward alone, whereas Fuhrman does, both individually and though his own investment company he set up.

Like I say, it’s just really interesting to me that of all the clubs the others went into it was Southampton. I know the ownership has changed down there but the ties to O’Brien, may well be coincidence given the industry, but there’s a lot of links there however small and speculative.
