‘The real story of the takeover’

[KarenDent]

takeover talk before the semi final first leg and now this shite before the final

The mags are only jealous , nee body is tacking a punt on them , if someone could do the same to Ashley, then sell on at a profit the tone of the article would be very much different

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

If he makes 37 million after spending as little as he has then its sly as fuck like. They are being made out to be heroes, and I am not sure why

If.

 

[The Rat]

If the own the club then surely the club's money is their money.

Well thereyou go, so them saving the club is bullshit then ain't it, anyone could have done that, essentially free money for them.

 

[Mackem Tommy]

Is there even any new information in that story?

 

[Roker Mackem]

Poor Conor Bromley. Not even name checked ... just .. the podcast host!

The writer is a mag isn't he ?

Craig Hope is a Mag yeah

 

[Mighty Boosh]

Convenient timing just before our biggest game in the last 2 seasons.

Let's face it the wider media don't want us to go up especially as we are playing a team from London

Whether you agree with the article or not, the idea that this is some sort of mag stitch up man

Well you couldn't cos you aint got £5m.

Its a national newspaper, the others aren't mags, its a tabloid article, you might not agree with it, but its fuck all to do with being mags like.

 

[BumbleBee]

Would explain the "missing" 10 mill though.

 

[roker beach]

There is no sane person can say they have done more than Short like, he paid off over £100 million quid ma

Yes, Short made a great gesture, fair comment. The new owners do not have his money but they have worked hard and really got into the culture of the club and the fans. The big question is where do they go from here.

 

[The Rat]

So thats the basis of your argument? seriously?

Well they've not used any of their own money to do it by the sounds of it.

so pleased dom't compared them to short

 

[offmenut]

It is a bit dodgy like, they are only here for one thing lets be honest and have barely spent a penny of their own money

Not sure Short had this in mind when he wiped the debt like, a quick flip and profit.

Using the clubs own money to pay short isnt great like

Expect them to be backed to the hilt as usual though.



Not common knowledge that he has only put forward £5m of his own money like



What not using his own money to buy the club?

They have put loads of work in to get the club running properly.
They could have been like sisus.
If all they want is a quick buck, why f***ing goto every game and liase with the fans?
There is no point in cm really doing what he's doing if they want to sell straight away.
If they hsve made us a good target for a takeover, good on them tbh

 

[scott934]

Is there even any new information in that story?

No, it's very heavily slanted to make old news, the £40m owed to Short being secured with Parachute Payments, look much worse than it is.

eh? because it's very enjoyable.

No good on Short and us

Argument? Use of that word sums you up.

 

[BumbleBee]

think the big question is "why" tbh.

 

[The Rat]

Argument? That word sums you up.

No it doesn't, I don't have £5m? what sort of point is that

very strange.

They were very, very careful in podcasts to give enough away to make themselves sound fully transparent but were never really pushed on specifics of the deal and never properly clarified situations.

Plenty will dismiss the article based upon some paranoia of an anti-Sunderland agenda but there are some fairly decent sports journalists worked on that piece and it should it be taken seriously.

@Grumpy Old Man

Please explain this. The Mail couldn’t be more off the mark but I probably can’t put it as eloquently as yourself
