this is excellent news. Donald and Methven can’t afford to hang on much longer. Will have to yield.
What so Dreyfus ha came in last minute and says he wants more hence renegotiations?
 
Paras are soft as ****e anyway. You would’ve won quite easily with both hands tied behind your back and dressed as a fairy.
In fact, if you look closely you’ll see @Makemstine Roger in this bit of film showing them practicing drill.

They maybe soft these days but certainly weren't on D Day, never saw my old man being soft.
 
I'll chuck my two pence in on this one and offer an alternate view - after buying a bottle when I read about it on here...

Really heavy and syrupy... a bit like watered down jam... not pleasant at all. So bad in fact that I committed a cardinal sin and tipped half the bottle down the sink <devil> I think it's made from concentrate.

I'd recommend spending the same money on a nice bottle of Cotes du Rhone (most supermarkets have a few varieties for different budgets) or a Douro (Aldi/Morrisons) - very tasty :)
This for me as well, each to their own taste's
 
it can be - there are several checks they can do with the EFL - hence the dialogue already starting as confirmed by Rodwell.

It seems inevitable that KLD takes a stake - the question is now how much. This could be a perfect scenario.

FPP wanting their money in full now will also mean Donald is pressured into selling more to pay for it

FPP are in a no lose situation ...

... whatever happens their money is safe.

Jeez mate, it’s humour ffs. If it helps it’s a pisstake of Makemstien who regularly tells us he was a para.
I did 11 years in the army. I’m fully aware of what the Parachute Regiment are capable of. I’ve met enough of them. My brother in law finished up as a Colour Sergeant in 3 Para. I did my corporals course at 10 Airborne Workshop in Aldershot in 1990.
The last unit I served with before I left the army was part of the D-Day 50 commemorations in Aromanche in 1994 where I had the honour of meeting lots of very brave men and women.
Your dad was clearly a very brave man and I genuinely take my hat off to him and to everybody else who did their part in the carnage that was WW2.

I understand the comedy side of it but as my dad isn't about I tend to get a bit tetchy about any belittling of what he was, but the main thing is FTM. Merry Christmas
 
If Nixons crack is right about KLD wanting more that could be excellent news. I'd be happy to wait a little longer if it meant KLD taking a majority share. Found it strange the suggestion that the most anyone person would have 40%
 
Just like the Poyet situation. All parts are lined up, deals agreed, handshakes etc. but unfortunately, until signatures are on bits of paper, nothing or no one can prepare for a person's change of heart.

Still just have to wait and see. I did, however, think that Sunderland may knock back the "bail out" money because why would we need it? Surely if the deal is that close it wouldn't be an issue or an option that Donald mite consider. IMO a lot of this is paper talk with a hint of envy from the press as to how rich a club we could become.

KTF and FTM.
 
I don't like the sound of this. Its sounds like another round of negotiations which then brings more risk of it collapsing.

Just get it ****ing signed off. Fans have had enough uncertainty.

Uncertainty at the top destroys football clubs. We've had it for 5 years.

This just my opinion but I think Donald will stubbornly hold out on any takeover/investment/shares etc that would put him further down the pecking order so to speak. I reckon his ego wants this last chance to get promotion while he's owner, seeing how we do under Johnson and wait until the summer, again.
Like I say, imo.

I was puzzled why would anyone want to invest big money just for 40% of the club.
Makes sense for Dreyfus to want more, but I can't see how it got this far without this problem being sorted?
It doesn' look good, I'm afraid now that Donald would take an EFL loan and getting his hopes up with the latest result he could f.... up this takeover too.
Never that simple at Sunderland isn't it?

Agreed. Pegasus Bridge should be Ox and Bucks Bridge!

Well that answers the questions people have been asking about whether the change of manager and new appointments are down to the potential new ownership. All of these decisons have been made by the current owners. Worth noting of course that Sartori is a current board member and will most certainly have had dialogue with KDF of the changes.
