    I think that maybe these snippets are being released to calm the masses. I honestly cant see why, if it is as tied up as it is supposed to be, a statement cannot happen. The joys of being a Sunderland fan but at least I never danced around with a towel on my head...… or a Stetson

    It's all weird at the moment isn't it.

    Our takeover/investment is imminent according to the club.

    The latest Newcastle takeover was imminent according to the Chronicle.

    They've both gone quiet as have the Mag protests against Ashley.

    What a bizarre time in the NE ...

    Exactly, it's like people who tell you to put a spoon into a champagne bottle to stop it going flat ...

    .... I have a much better method <bubbly>

    Never heard of that one always presumed you just popped it and drank it all like Wine.

    Not really a fan of champagne me like even the expensive stuff was given a glass at a work do years ago cost thousands for the bottle apparently unsure of proper cost but just tasted like fizzy white wine.

    Wish they would either announce it as off or on so we can concentrate on the performances on the pitch.

    I still think it's an investment / gradual takeover, but maybe its a cunning plan to drag it out till the January window so other clubs think we are skint

    Hasn’t it changed to being investment as opposed to a full blown takeover?

    apparently so, but i would think, investment wouldn't take as long as this has.
