Takeover in trouble

I honestly couldn't give a fuck about the amount we spend. It's been proven time and again by other clubs that you need to spend very little to get promotion from this league.

It's all about smart recruitment and at the moment we don't even have any recruitment going on, let alone smart recruitment.

From the outside looking in, it looks like - yet again - we're f***ing about for the majority of the summer while other clubs get business done. If we're not careful we'll end up pissing around in the last few weeks of the season getting panic buys in - again - and be in exactly the same situation we've seemed to find ourselves in for what seems like the last twenty years.

In reality the transfers at this level kick off tomorrow. I know some have already been announced but barring a couple here and there most that have been announced wont be completed till tomorrow anyway. Last season we had several bosmans tied up and I can't recall us announcing any before July 1st.

After that as clubs sort out there squads and people get back into training that's when the real business will happen. The reality is very few clubs have done cash signings in our league so far, the reasons for that is because very few clubs, agents and players need to comit too soon before they've explored all options. Obviously that doesn't mean we've guaranteed to get the right players, but the reality is the players we're looking at or should be interested in haven't moved yet and we'll miss out on some when they do as well, given the level we should be looking at.

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.

But what Chris???? You have absolutely no idea do you what’s going on?? Or do you want to pretend you are in the know???

Bit of a tit that Weatherspoon. Got called out by Donald so has chucked the dummy.

Basically Campbell wants his bit on the cheap so he can maximise his profit when he's had enough. Exact same stick that some fans use to beat Donald and Methven with and yet we're supposed to welcome him with open arms?

Dont defend Donald and Methven man... you'll get lynched ;)

I see the same old arseholes are firing out the “bedwetter” routine when unable to offer a response to reasoned commentary. The same people who continue to clap us down the divisions.

What are we meant to do? Boo us up the divisions?

So the only other option to calling supporters ‘bedwetters’ is to ‘boo us up the divisions’ Ha’way man, that’s an equally shite response but you know that already.

How about people offer up a reasoned response to criticism instead of the wank ‘bed wetting’ retort offered by the same dull as fuck posters. Imagine calling someone a bedwetter in a pub man, you’d look like a right tit besides sounding camp as fuck.

Well Donald and Methven have been telling us for the last few weeks that we are now in one of the best financial positions of any club in the football league. That we are going to be turning a profit in the very near future etc. Now have you been right all along about our financial situation which would mean they are they telling lies or are they telling the truth that we are financially sound and in a good position which would make you completely wrong?
