    Why would you even think that when there's nothing to suggest it?

    Well we simply do not know at the moment. There’s been plenty of speculation about other people being involved but no clear evidence of it.

    Of course we know.

    The clear evidence is that Louis Dreyfus is the chairman and majority owner with total control.

    All the idiotic speculation in the world, or anything you post, can't change that.

    it
    it'll be interesting to find out, I'm sure Grumps over on RTG will have an eye on developments.

    It might become important if information came out about the backers? What backers? Backers of whom?

    While you're here, can I ask if you're a Sunderland supporter, simple question.

    In which case why is this thread your main cause of concern and why do you never post on match threads ...


    ... even when we're going up the table and winning trophies at Wembley?

    I’ll be honest after group chats, podcasts etc I don’t really have the time to engage in that type of chat. This place does have a pretty up to date takeover thread so that is why I posted here today. Don’t imagine it’d have made much sense in a match day thread!

    OK, so why would you post this as fact,

    "I think we as a fan base need to be careful.

    We’re retaining the same owners with new investment and are reliant up on a minority shareholder suddenly becoming a lot more active than he has been for 2 and a half years."

    Or do you accept that was actually nonsense with no basis is fact?

    That was widely reported in autumn of last year in the press, it was also widely reported that some time after that we had moved towards a change of control.

    No it wasn't.

    It was posted relentlessly by wums such as yourself.

    Most of them have given up but you're still here, presumably because you have nothing better to do.

    I've seen quite a few liars on here, you're just the latest.

    I don’t mind people having different opinions and making it clear they disagree with me but chucking around terms like liar is uncalled for.

    I'm only saying that because I believe 100% you're a liar.

    I never say that flippantly but I've seen dozens like you on these forums.

    You're not putting forward a different opinion because you don't actually have one that's based on anything but your desire to wum.

    You're suggesting the owner and chairman is hiding something ...

    .... what an idiot.

    You believed 'the media' when it suited you, now you disbelieve it because it suits you ... grow up ffs <doh>

    Smug is WUM hunting. Mrs Smug must be out or forgotten to give him his job list.

    Worthless Uninteresting Mugs <laugh>

    Seriously it's a wind up merchant mate ...

    ... not a great term because they bore people rather than wind them up, they don't have the brains to do that.
