GOM just said something over the road which I thought was interesting. Fuhrman has already been through the efl checks, that firstly tells us how close it actually was. And secondly it points to fpp deciding not to announce anything until everything was done last year, something thats appears to be happening again now.

"Depends on who's involved. If it's Fuhrman and Sartori, I believe they've both gone through the fit and proper tests, so it would be more a case of checking the business plan, so it could be much shorter. It only takes much longer if there are doubts over the completeness and accuracy of the details provided, or that the buyers might be human rights abusing, copyright pirating, murderers."
 
That’s up to you. Others will give their view/information. I’ve given mine. You choose to believe who you want. I said SD would still be owner first game of the season and he was

I still say he’ll be owner come the close of the window in Oct or still part of the club with a mock up of a change having taken place, but he’ll still be rattling around... I believe the first scenario as he can’t miss out on his big pay day (which he still believes will come)

You're the only person claiming to have information that says basically no sale and the Don still being the owner. The only person. Four others, all of whom know folk off the board and go to matches with them and in at least 3 cases have posted for years all say different. Surely you can see why folk would think you're passing off nothing more than an opinion and pretending to have a source.
 
You think he’s going to take all the risks just to let his mates have a piece of the cake if it turns out successful?

I don’t think Fuhrman is a mug, mate.

only if he allows them to at a price he's happy with
 
How does Magnus know % break downs and Smug ‘knows’ bits

Time will tell for us all

Because we're two people who've never met and both posting what we can.

I have, as I've admitted, been told very little this time.

I could easily do an 'ifs, buts and maybe' routine, as you seem to be doing, but that's pointless.

Really? Not doubting you, that's a 'Really?' of utmost surprise. Because the only reason I could see for doing that would be if you were buying a club, as there si no other reason for having one. I'm not sure you need one to chuck a loan in.

fwiw Barnes never mentioned the fit and proper test - just that the EFL would be informed and the administrative work with them can begin. That is likely to be fit and proper tests but may also just be a box ticking exercise.

I've heard the exact same as the poster tbf. As mentioned earlier I've also heard there is something happening and that it's close from another person that I know in real life (prehab). I'm sure there's conflicting information coming out of the club because the person who told me they don't think anything is happening definitely wouldn't be making it up. NQD has said things previously that lead me to believe he has a source at the club so I don't doubt him. I'm just hoping that the positive stuff that's coming out is the real reflection of the position.

They were buying the club last year I have zero doubt about that, you dont set up fpp sunderland just for a loan. And Donald was telling anyone who would listen the deal was done.

I could loan Donald money without DD, EFL or WTF ...

... although now I'd need permission from FPP, OK?

FPP already have companies and addresses that could've bought the club.

But they created a new company using the SOL as an address with the permission of the current owners.

I've never seen that ever before unless it was for the purposes of a takeover.

I was ridiculed, for ages, for saying it was a takeover ...

... it was a takeover.
 
There’s meetings/discussions all the time I’m guessing. SD’s been trying to sell the club form the moment he walked through the door. What I said was that the ‘meetings’ didn’t mean anything was close. Obviously FPP/GF are interested In the club, and want the club, Hence the loan and continued involvement but that doesn’t mean anything is happening ‘with their lot’.

what is happening with the rest-shuffling’ of the current bums on seats, who knows. But that isn’t a takeover in my eyes. It’s shuffling the seats around in the Titanic. Means nothing

I still stand by nothing happening at the club, takeover wise, but possibly some ‘changing if the guard’. Nothing to get too excited about as it will be just the same. All I’m saying is FPP/GF aren’t at the stage of discussions regarding their own takeover. No one knows who the ‘new owners’ will be as they aren’t any. It’s status who. SD ‘leaves’ bit hangs around in the background like a bad smell while his ‘mates’ take over and he’ll still get his big pay day with none of the grief from the fans

Again, I’ve never Heard of this page fill the Magnus screen shot appeared on Facebook of the % breakdown and I’ve obviously Looked at RTG before i. passing but never contributed as too many posts to keep a check on... and too much opinion rather than fact

I’m not really fussed who thinks wjatvaboutvme
The only thing I think seriously, is you guess at everything, the same as everybody does btw, so that’s no criticism, but you tend to put it in language that indicates certainty, and people jump on that, as you put all sides to all arguments, and therefore can’t be right or wrong. Oh and you use different user names on both forums, and were banned here under your original name then came back as this transformation. Anyway you ok kittens m8?

Fair comment.
Obviously I hope you are wrong.
Although I did think if Donald dragged us from administration,
Sustained us and gave us the chance to get new owners and revive the club, I wouldn't begrudge him a profit.
I don't know the facts same as most. Hopefully he isn't holding out for a greedy over inflated profit and does the right thing for the club.

The moment anyone claims they're 'unaware of RTG or people on this forum' is where they throw any credibility out the window.

"Who is this Mittens person of whom you speak." <doh>
