The longer it drags on the more likely that this is the case. Lets see what is said once the window closes. If it is the case I expect he will pop his head out of his arse to say the "talks" have come to nothing so we are stuck with him but that he is fully behind the club and has given the club the best budget in the league to push for promotion. Then the fans calm down until December when leaks are made there is another group interested in a takeover so nothing is spent in January either.

All the while Donald is sat in his bunker with his fingers crossed hoping for a miracle so he can sell a Championship club and pocket the profit.

I hate Donald.

Just thought I needed to add that.

Said exact same thing last week unfortunately

Why doesn't dave Jones pipe up and say something he must know whats going on if anything

He’s obviously keeping quiet so Sky have the ‘exclusive’ as some on here have suggested in the last few months. Why Sky wouldn’t just report on a league one team being in talks with someone, yet wants to keep it quiet is beyond me... we’re not Real Madrid. But it fits some people’s narrative I guess

My only real info, on this, is what I posted ages ago which is that 'FPP want a resolution'.

As Donald is 'absent', under financial pressure, owing them £9m and risking a third failed promotion attempt I took that to mean a takeover was on the cards.

I still believe that but this PL money is a worry ...

... if Sunderland's 'share' turned out to £9m I'd be looking for for a high building to jump off.

FPP have wanted a resolution since day one. It’s SD who’s taking the piss. Why FPP don’t just come out and say what’s happened in the past is beyond me. Yes there’s ways and means to do business, and these are obviously proper business people (unlike SD and his cronies) but you’d have thought, the same way SD has used people, they would have ‘leaked’ there version and turned up the heat on him. Nixon from the sun reported in what he could last year (I heard it was from the FPP camp) regarding the changes in payments/fee etc but the could have done a lot more to highlight SD for what he is. They want a resolution but seeming to allow be allowing SD to self implode.
 
I agree it doesn’t looks good, but don’t be quick to think nothing is going, this isn’t just coming from the club about a takeover,

but I’ll agree if it’s a close as few of us have been told he wouldn’t be voting, the one things you can cling to, and it’s massively clinging, Is the only thing this would help is club like Eastleigh <doh>

It never looked good from the day I first saw your comment regarding the % break down, which was why I joined here. You obviously posted this on good faith as you trust the person who told you... big anyone with direct links with the club have direct links to SD. That’s shut I’ve been trying to say. I take no pleasure in this as the club needs to be sold to progress... but SD has taken the piss out of NB’s and more importantly the fans once again...

If they want to buy the club why not come out and say so whats the big secret?

It Hasn’t just come from the club that
 
Ssssshhh... they’ll all turn on you

It’s lonely over here on your Own


You have said that you hoped you were wrong.
So did I and everyone else.
So if you posted information you believed to be true hoping it was wrong thats fair enough ;)
I still think something was going on but after last years debacle I really should know better.
If Donald has scuppered two chances from FPP...... Well :emoticon-0130-devil

When the club make an announcement (they will have to address the social media rumours/Storey some point in the next few weeks), they’ll probably acknowledge the ‘made up rumour’ as fact, say because regarding covid things couldn’t happen or that the party they were in discussions with weren’t credible etc. They are still actively trying to work on a sale during these difficult period and will continue to back PP never the less Etc

I’m guessing after the window shuts on Fri, before the next game

Was it Donald voting or was it Methven? I thought it was Methven and there was always a chance he was staying on wasn't there?

I don’t believe cm would be able to make that choice with just 6% it would have to be Donald agreeing to it

Bidders are definately getting pissed off with Donald and his cronies farting about. I fear that they will walk away and leave us with what we have , incompetent owners.
