I don’t mind posters telling what they have heard from different sources, it’s a message board after all. You can easily pick out the WUMs though and if you get wild expectations over a rumour someone has posted, that is your fault not theirs

I understand people want to know what's happening.

But these 'ITKs' appear to just come out with scenarios that cover every angle, all to support the theory that they are right.

It's pathetic.
 
In the last few days these 'ITK' posters have told us every man and his dog are trying to buy the club.

I know some people appreciate the info, but the word 'info' should be used very lightly when it comes to these rumours, because so far nothing has happened and that's been the case for months now.

As helpful as these 'ITK' posters think they are being, in the long run what they are doing is quite damaging.

Because after being told every billionaire under the sun is after us, if someone does eventually come along, they might not match the fans growingly wild expectations.

I hope this saga ends well for us but personally I think these 'ITKs' should just relax.

When something actually does happen, we will find out.
Well if it helps narrow it down a little i can confirm that it's not me that's looking at buying the club and i'm not a billionaire <cheers>
 
I know SD appears to be a horrible hamster faced twitchy spiv singularly unsuited to run a football club, but shirley he'd only duff a deal if he thinks he has a better one in the pipeline?

Yes, MSD is the same people. FPP was disbanded when there interest in Sunderland ended, as evidenced on companies house.

Fuhrman left MSD and the rest remained.
MSD is Michael Dells investment vehicle, owned by MD and partly ran by the individuals behind FPP. FPPs completely separate US set up FPP LLP are the ones who've made the loan to Madrox and are still very active. People need to discount their UK company as it's pretty much meaningless and can easily be reformed if needed.

Yeah, I get all that, and the investment in Sunderland was never actually linked to the Dell investment firm, it was the 3 of them acting as individuals.

It’s then said that Fuhrman left the group, although MSD own website suggests otherwise, more that he set up a separate company on his own alongside it.
 
I can confirm that I am not a billionaire and not involved in buying Sunderland. I do think that rubberface is giving legit 'info' though, so that's one consortium down, which I'm guessing is the Mucky Gray one. However, Furnham remians with cash already in the club and Don's bollocks in a vice.From everything that came out last year I've always thought it will be Furnham that will end up owning us, and I still think that now. In the know, that's not me.

I agree.

It's pathetic clicking a thread called 'takeover rumour' then complaining that it contains rumours about a takeover.

It's like having a nut allergy and chomping down a Snickers bar <doh>

They do, but it is up to the individual what to believe mate. Don’t get taken in and take it for what it’s worth. The bit I don’t get is all of those who completely balk at the idea that someone might know something, things like “no one will know what is happening”. That is utter bollocks, because people, no matter what position they are in, do talk and people will get to hear that also. There may be a case of Chinese Whispers like, but to say no one will know anything is completely and utterly wrong.
