He's back on Wednesday and will be at Lincoln on the train via Nottingham
Think it may have been more in a sense that power robson and maddison all nominated so it was a sunderland takeover of goal of the day
Sorry but not on Twitter so for the sake of fellow dinosaurs could you please clarify

wonder why he liked that post strangeYou must log in or register to see media
Awkward
Look who ‘liked’ the post...
Someone has posted a link to the Sun story and tagged Donald and just copied the headline “takeover on the brink of collapse as black cats haggle over price” and Donald liked the tweet for some reason. Don’t think he’s read it properly tbh.
Because he knows its ****e,he hates the sun

That is ****ing terrible journalism like. All it does is regurgitate the tweet Donald put out earlier about the deal being more than 50-50. Not once does it mention the deal collapsing because Donald wants more cash. Classic example of a click bait headline to get some fannies wailing and gnashing. I reckon Donald has liked it for the ****s and giggles as he's not exactly best mates with the Sun.
Pancho is adamant that no no journalists have signed up to rtg to stir ****. I’m one of the least most qualified people on this planet to argue otherwise as i’m rubbish at all things IT but surely that’s nonsense. How would you know what occupation a newbie does when they sign up to a message board?
While it is frustrating waiting maybe that all parties are thoroughly examining their positions is a good thing.
I wouldnt want anyone taking over who wasnt fully committed and who was coming in not knowing the task ahead.
The mags were overjoyed when ashley waltzed in as were we when short bought out drumaville.
Both walked into 5hitstorms ( in the financial sense ). Short 'threw'away anywhere between 150 and 200m, ie at least 10% of his personal wealth...for what?
Ashley is in the same boat but he is way too canny with his dosh. He wants it all back. His business model ( retail shops ) is on it's way out thanks to eg Amazon. They were going down the pan thanks to the financial rape and pillage of fat fred and dodgie doug. He saved them and now he is detested at best and despised ar worst.
Owning a football club is an ego thing in most instances. Expecting owners to continually put their hands in their pockets is a fools errand. Even abramovic got fed up with that.
We need to develop and spot talent and accept that bigger clubs may cherry pick such talent ( it happens to spurs and arsenal so why not us )
We need to live within our means ie football and marketing revenue.
If new owners manage this..jobs a good un

Sure mods can see which IP a user is signed in from - using that you can see if its a business address thats using that IP - easily done but also easily circumvented by signing in from say a phone.
Ahh that is an argument for using real names? Of course that can be circumvented also
It's pitiful that an unpaid volunteer Mod, who treats the board as his own little kingdom, can repeat such idiotic fantasies as fact. Its so typical of a man who openly threatens posters with bans if they disagree with his ludicrous opinions.
I was tipped off about journalists posting on forums years ago, why wouldn't they. It's obvious that, on RTG, there are dozens of people pretending to be lifelong dedicated Sunderland supporters when they're obviously nothing of the sort.
Over the years I've seen many instances of media quotes from fanzines & forums which have been singled out as 'what Sunderland supporters think'. That's quite annoying when it's come from a known 5th columnist Mag infiltrator or obvious Wum.
It would be the easiest thing to create an account, throw on a few harmless posts and then start posting false info thereby prompting a reaction. We've all seen the appalling standards of journalism, from the likes of Lee Ryder, who'll stoop to absolutely any low to guide opinion. Ryder, chief football correspondent, who once replayed a Sunderland game on a computer game until Newcastle won and published it ffs.
Is it really so bizarre that bored football journalists, on trains and in hotel rooms, should entertain themselves wumming on forums.
I really think some people live in such an insular little bubble that they can't imagine anything other than what goes on in their dull boring lives.
Pancho seems typical of that.

Whether journalists have signed up or not, as I have said before, people have posted information in good faith from what they believe are reliable trusted sources.
Even GOM has received flack for passing on messages from a banned poster.
I can't get my head round why certain people seem intent on pulling apart what has been passed on in good faith.
No doubt the ones having sly digs at GOM will be ignoring his annual review of the accounts and putting into plain English for us all

Stewart Donald has, unsurprisingly, commented on Twitter that the sun article about the takeover being on the brink of collapse is a load of **** (I paraphrase, think he actually says its absolute rubbish). Also liked a tweet saying which said that surely the price would have been one of the first things agreed. So price must be agreed, takeover not on brink of collapse, all good
