    I'll start by saying I don't know what credibility these have but the first came from someone on twitter who chose to private message me rather than comment on a tweet I sent about Coleman sounding like he knew something was happening.

    Him: 73 group currently in talks with short. Chinese deal fell through yesterday

    Me: Fingers crossed. Anything known about the Chinese group? Have they completely walked away?


    Him: They were here Saturday and Sunday as guests, money men were supposed to turn up on Tuesday/Wednesday but never did. As much as I know. Amanda stavley has been at last home/away game but wouldn’t get too excited lol

    Now I don't know this lad personally but I remember he told me the German Consortium takeover was off the night before it broke in the press.

    Interesting that a certain blonde ladies name was brought up. I'd not seen her name mentioned with regard to being involved with us then all of a sudden a second person in response to my tweet throws her name in the mix.

    Him
    "People said I was crazy for saying Amanda Staveley was going to take over the club. Seeing her at the stadium of light against villa, rumours she was there at boro, Chris saying let’s see who owns the club at the end of it.
    Amanda Staveley she’s coming to save us https://t.co/CDOvdhtPfw

    Me: Did you actually see her?

    Him: Yes I saw her get out of merc limo and head into the stadium with stewards stopping anyone who tried to get near her before the villa game.

    Trying not to get carried away and tend to take these things with a pinch of salt so I was wondering if anyone on here had heard any rumours?

    Never hear anything way out west as we are here but I've got a bag of salt ready just in case<laugh>
    Dont think a pinch is enough when dealing with our club.

    I heard a rumour that every time Sunderland get my hopes up they get mercilessly shat on from a great height so I'll take one of Cumbrian's bags of salt until something is officially announced.

    I was told this morning to expect some 'very good news' regarding S.A.F.C. within the next two weeks, from a very reliable source that I can't mention. I can't confirm what this news is, and I don't do rumours, but I believe that something is about to happen :emoticon-0105-wink:

    I've already told you all. Cha Ching is making us his new project and Sum Ting Wong is going to be his first signing.
