He's been desperately hoping the takeover wouldn't happen just to prove him right ...

... that doesn't make him a Sunderland supporter.

I'm fact, it makes him worse than a Mag, it's their job to hope we fail.

He has been shown up to be the total fantasist he is. A very strange bloke

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
Scraping the barrel with this post NQD, full of conjecture and invention with no relationship to common sense.
 
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.
Can’t judge too much today, no Gooch, Wyke or O’Nien and changing formation without working on it is asking for trouble. I don’t think the formation is the problem anyway, more the instructions, selection and motivation.

Yeah I don't mind if he goes 3 at the back, it's the rest of the team that's important. Personally I'd go with 4 but maybe not in the first game.

If he's taking charge of the team today, it'll be really interesting to see what kind of team he sends out. Does he play 3 at the back still? Back 4? Who's in midfield and up front? Does he play the kids like Embleton, Diamond straight away? Is McGeady straight in or on the bench? Can't wait!!! I think this match could be a free hit for him. As fans we want him to win but has he actually taken any training yesterday to give the players an idea of how he wants them to play
 
He's got a hell of a job to try and prevent us from having our longest ever spell outside the top flight now. He'd be remembered for life if he manages it and never been to buy a pint again in town. I doubt he will as he's only got the rest of this one and the next two to do so but hopefully that's his ambition and he gets somewhere near

I don't think we can expect too much other than a motivational team talk mate....he's had no time with the players on formation etc.
Start of the second half might be interesting mind.
