Very good decision to take charge today IMO. *Should* be a win for us, and if we do win then he gets off to a brilliant start and looks great. If we don’t win, then I don’t think he can be blamed. Win-Win for Johnson.

There comes a time when people should just stop squirming and take defeat on the chin.
He’s one of the “ ‘I’ll be the first to hold my hands up if I’m wrong “ crowd but turns out he’s probably going to be the last one to hold his hands up. He’d get more respect if he did but I suspect that’s not what motivates him.

Not really. Spoke to someone today and the loan deadline from FPP last week hasn’t been paid back and it seems like there’s still a lot of work to be done.

Heard and posted on here the deal looked like it was going to be completed in some capacity (re-distribution of shares at best) last week, but it looks like the french kids advisors have obviously said that a 60% majority with the 3 stooges and him footing the bill with 40% isn’t good enough

I stand by everything I’ve said since I came on here. The fans have been taken for mugs and the ITK’s have their sources who are close to CM/SD, Hence why since July they’ve said something has been happening etc When in-reality SD has been desperately trying to keep the show running

What was stated on here in July/Aug is totally different to what is supposedly happening now. Yet people for some reason still state they the ITK’s were correct all along. It’s a totally different scenario. I could drag up multiple examples of % or FPP or meetings on wearside etc. And nothing transpired. But because we’ve been linked with a french kid then gang means they were right all along despite nothing been heard about the french kid till recently

This french kid has only came on the scene the last month or so. And there’s still a long long way to go Even if he’s still interested with due diligence etc

I’m not getting into an argument. I’m not falling out with anyone. People can have hope but it’s been false hope, every Friday for the last 4 months

The 3 stooges want their cake and eat it. They’ve all ready had Cowley turn them down for the job die to the DoF model. They jumped the gun with Poyet by realising info to ‘fans’, same as the takeover being done last week to RR

I hope we get Johnson across the line, but the problem is he has to speak to the club, and that’s Where managers/players can see what a **** show we really are and run a mile

I think this is what’s happening with the french kid and his advisors unfortunately

He’s definitely interested, but not with the current regimes plans

Enjoy the game

Hahahahhahahahahqhahhahahaha you’ve just shown to be a total dick and a total liar

So Johnson will run a mile when he speaks to the club? And he’s not interested with the current regimes plans? Is this all going to happen after he takes charge of the match today? Or has he not spoken to the club but signed the contract anyway? You’ve just lost any credibility you had left. I wouldn’t usually say this but I’m starting to think you’re a mag.
 
Will be interesting at 2pm when the team is announced. There will be full on melt downs if he goes 3 at the back . Ha'way the lads, let's get the 3 points.

Interesting points marra, we'll wait and see how this pans out. KTF
I might be naive but I don’t think anyone would roll up to this forum specifically to spout lies and wind posters up. Niall Quinn’s Dad is coming out with things that people don’t want to hear but I believe he believes what he is saying.
He seems to me to be getting info from someone/ somewhere and he is passing it on believing it to be true.
Let’s hope his info is wrong but I don’t think he is posting to wind up people.
 
Happy Birthday Janey, hope you have a great day. Used to live in Bournmoor, The Meadows, Kevin ball lived just over in Castlefields,
anyway have a good day and hope some of the takeover news is good for your day.
 
, Johnson said: “Speaking to Kristjaan, Jim and the owners, I was absolutely blown away by their plans and dreams for the club. I can see so much potential and I see it everywhere. I see it in the league and how we can step up, I see it in the facilities, I see it in the community and the passion the people of Sunderland have, and I also see it in the academy. The feeling I got from the ownership group [made this the right club for me]. There was other interest, but that doesn’t matter now and I want to be successful and to see a brave new Sunderland. I want to be bold in my own decisions, I want to be bold for the team in the way that we play and the philosophy that we play to, but I also want the club to make bold decisions and that is what I’ve truly bought into. We have to connect the team and the fan base because that can be really powerful at a club like this
