Takeover in trouble

I know I don't understand business etc but if true we need to fuck them off. I know negotiations happen but this sounds (again if true) like quite a substantial moving of the goal posts. If it was just after the play off final then fair enough since it confirmed league one status instead of championship but now we need it sorted and we need to get on with pre season. Renegotiating now isn't helpful at all, in fact it's harmful to our progress so, if true, I'd rather we cracked on without them. Doesn't sound like they were exactly bringing game changing amounts to the table anyway

It’s called Price Chipping and it’s common.

I'll use that next time I say something libelous


According to rumours we have already lost out on 86 transfer targets, we won't sign a player all pre season. Now we have rumours about these two. Modern football is just full of people making up rubbish, trying to look like they are ITK. We are not trying to get rid

That tweet?

Hardly libellous is it.

He’s even using phrases like ITK off here to make himself look good.
Good PR.

100% not made up though.

SUNDERLAND. Takeover in trouble. Buyer Mark Campbell’s group now want to pay less. Not gone down well. All sorts of haggling. Doesn’t look like being done this window if at all.

Not sure why anyone believed him in the first place, he was the clown who named the date it would be done the 19th June . He hasn’t got a clue what’s going on, even Donald said the press were getting ahead of themselves

No propaganda or shit being spread. Just some info I was told in good faith.

Whether he goes or not remains to be seen, but they’re hardly going to admit his name has been passed on to agents as a sellable asset.

Do you think I actually want to know this negative stuff about the club I love?
I’ll be as fuming as anyone else it he leaves.

But they could say nothing rather than outright, explicitly lying which is what you’re saying they’re doing.

You’ve said you know Gordon Armstrong well. Does your source mix in similar circles?

My god what don’t people understand , it was never a takeover in the first place . Just investment and according to our owner it’s never been as close to happening as the media are reporting

Speedy, genuine question, what do you make of SDs response on Twitter?

According to rumours we have already lost out on 86 transfer targets, we won't sign a player all pre season. Now we have rumours about these two. Modern football is just full of people making up rubbish, trying to look like they are ITK. We are not trying to get rid

The new boys will be the majority shareholders. That’s not an out n out takeover as most would understand it but it’s certainly not just investment.




Mebbes the sticking point is the roles of Stewie, Charlie n Juan once it happens?
