I've just been asked, by PM, about who sent the messages I was shown last year regarding the takeover.
I've just replied and thought 'wtf, i may as well paste it on here'.
"I was at the house of millionaire art dealer Ben Brown who wanted a couple to manage his estate.
He asked about my accent and I mentioned Sunderland whereupon he laughed. I was a bit peeved until he said 'my mate has just bought your club' and showed me WhatsApp messages where Fuhrman gave him the news and Brown congratulated him etc etc etc.
When the news broke about FPP I assumed that's what Fuhrman actually meant but now looks as if it may have been just him.
That's the reason I went all hysterical, on RTG/606/PM, you just can't get better than first hand info from a billionaire.
I'd defy any Sunderland supporter to act any different mate, you included."
No one had heard of Brown until I mentioned him, then he was subsequently found to be following Fuhrman, on Twitter, by someone on RTG.
I was invited back for lunch/2nd interview but Mrs Smug didn't like the wife so we sacked it off and eventually took this job in the south of France. I was gutted as I thought I'd have a boss who was close friends with the Sunderland owner. Brown is a Chelsea supporter and Fuhrman goes with him when he's over as well as staying at Brown's mansion. If people think I'm capable of making all this up I'll take it as a compliment tbh.
