I don't believe it mate, he gets his info from an ex-player and I don't see how he would know tbh.

To be fair I haven't been told FPP were repaid but expect that to happen now KLD is there.
Might have been what it took for FPP to approve the takeover. That was required, right?. We might only have a day to two more for this kind of speculation.
 
I lived in no 12 till 68 other side of the Rd did your house back onto the lockies and were you opposite Micky Coleman?
Nan’s house was two thirds down opposite yours. The Square behind Gen havelock had a gate into the lockies/backies used to pitch a tent there when we were kids and gan Apple raiding, dare do out us Ford lads <laugh>
 
Spot on. Although I will add, for me personally and probably echoing the feelings and thoughts of many, that feeling of cynicism and "aye whatever" hasn't left me since we were relegated from the premier league. I in no way, shape or form felt any connection toward the ownership following Short. I never bought into it, believed it or enjoyed it. Hindsight is 20/20 and is beautiful, but that's how I genuinely feel. Now, onto the next owner/owners elect, I'm excited. Clear plans in place, some direction and footballing people with pedigree. It's looking bright for us imo.
Ditto for me, there was something amiss from day one with Donald, with hindsight everything was amiss.

His tenure as majority owner ranks him as the worst owner in the history of Sunderland no one comes close in my opinion. That's some going in his short time at the club and not the legacy his ego ever desired. Hopefully with the new owner installed we can come to remember Donald more "fondly" as someone who knew he was over his head and did his best to hand the club to the best person out there willing to take on this sleeping giant of the game, warts and all.

We used to have a bonfire in there every year and loads of families turned up great times every body new everybody.
