Really, where is it being widely reported?

And, no you're right, no one knows if giving a running commentary on transfer situations would have an effect ...

... perhaps the reason football clubs don't do it.
News now sunderland is a great agrigator for safc news. Multiple sources for the deal being pulled.

True clubs don't give commentary of deals they just do them. Bizarre what's happening to date.

every single source of "news" has taken it from the Daily Mail article.

not saying the Daily Mail article is wrong, and its not surprising that not many of the main outlets are reporting on it as it seems that we really are keeping cards close to chest nowadays. Can only assume Gallacher's side leaked this to the DM rather than us.
 
Being concerned isn't a problem, But judging a window before it's finished, Speakman been wrote off, kld been wrote off, clubs fault Pritchard has covid, people complain we aren't going for young upcoming player, we go and get a young and upcoming player, 'too young him' Harvey been wrote off, window been wrote off yet 5 weeks left of it

You have Being concerned and then you have toxic,

you have fans saying if we get best off Wigan the will be hell on. Brilliant that isn't it 1 game into the season ?

Never known a window get judged before it's finished
My post that you responded to was nothing like writing them off though. Irrespective of the window still being open, I will repeat people can only comment on what we have done so far, because those are the guarantees. Will there be more coming in, probably, do we know the quality of course we don’t. Of course it’s a bigger picture and long term, but the short term is to get out of this league. Do you know what’s worse mate? The fact that I am losing the passion that I have had for 50 years, now that may not be of a concern to you, but will be to the people who know what I am like with regards Sunderland AFC. I can’t help that, it’s not something I am doing deliberately, it’s just not there but hopefully it will return when the club starts repaying our faith.
 
Don't think anyone has judged it yet ?
Fans are just getting anxious that's all .

It's all well judging the window on the 1st September we've got 5 league games to play by then if we don't start well it could be the difference at the end of the season .
Then we'll all be saying imagine if we weren't having to play Winchester at rb or Neil at lb for the first 4 games
That's the reality!!


Lots of people have judged it, you must not have read a lot of the comments, even on this site, Max Power is now a midfield powerhouse, Charlie Wyke is now a 30 goal every season striker, we should be terrified

Nit all are quoting dm so nit striktely true. Other media outlets also have their own sources and as you say no one has said dm are wrong. I can agree that speakman shouldn't be giving regular updates (someone from club should comment on the dm story on this occasion though and guessing that'll be lj tomorrow post game). Time for Action not words from the recruitment team.

Could you imagine the responses to some of those posts? Its bad enough now when no-one really knows whats happening behind the scenes but if they posted about a bid being turned down, they might as well just deactivate the account straight away!

Cant say I've read every comment , but we should never be going into the final pre season game with some positions having zero players available.
If Donald was Still in charge there would be hell on over this

I've seen a few people say this. As far as I can see, there is already.

It's a transfer window, they're always bizarre.
Successful ones aren't generally. Remember that we have had those. Even if they were in distant past. Mic mac reid and big Sam all had good ones. This one won't be judges yet but we're currently weaker than last year where we finished 4th in arguably a more competitive league. Lots to do

I remember the reaction to that ....

.... mostly 'who' 'wtf'' 'never heard of him' 'we're doomed'.
 
The thing is, I’ve said I’m losing the passion but go on like this. I’m a bit confused I haven’t lost the passion but am losing the will to go and watch ****e. It’s a chore
My passion is still there, hence my current disappointment in the apparent shambles
I feel the same but it can turn around so quickly and the fact were as worried as we are is a good sign that we still care. I want to be proven wrong, wake up in the morning to 5 quality signings in the positions we need. The more days that go by the worse the mood gets though. If we get the players imagine the atmosphere against wigan though!
