    Don't shoot etc but I was told tonight that Ellis Short is far more heavily involved in the club still than we realise.
    This came from a local journalist who I know..

    He must be trying to put them out of business.

    Would be class if we got under Ellis Shorts skin so much that he personally sought out very wealthy and sensible investors for us.

    Not being funny and doubting your info, but wouldn't this be published somewhere in legal documents/companies house etc. If he is involved as an active party it would surely be above board and should be made public.

    Not doubting your info btw!

    No worries man. As I said it was a bit lacking in detail what I was told.

    I may have read the post wrong, is ES still involved in the investment in an official capacity or just meeting and greeting our current owners to the prospective owners? He owns the hotel which is a topic of discussion in terms of the widwr sheepfolds investments so he probably does have a decent size say in our future.

    I'd love to see the interview the Sunderland till I die crew did with him. 4 hours of him talking about everything SAFC apparently, but they decided not to release it as it didn't fit into the final production.
