Maybe maybe not, gut wrenching if true tho. The thick end of a years season ticket money blarn just like that. Act is haste and repent at leisure ffs
Seems coincidentally around the figure involved. Though as you say, maybe maybe not. Glad I'm not privy to this information it'd would do my head in!
 

just accountants arguing mate i'd stay out of it if i was you
Be class to have a neet out with them!!:cool::cool:

Reading between the lines, we went into administration yesterday but have been bought out by a phoenix pre-pack which in turn sold us to a Russian circus that is owned by Red Bull. We start the new season as - Billy Smartovskis Sunderland Torro Rosso
...thought so.:cool:
 
It was a party of Spanish investors, who were to come on board alongside Donald as majority shareholders. He made that deal too difficult (which I now think was motivated by the fact he could see a pathway to getting the club to pay for itself and negating the need for him to find a big up-front payment) and they pulled out, leaving SD as the main man, which he was never brought on to be.

Essentially, I think once he and Short worked out that part, they have understood that Short can pocket £30m+ in club money that he wouldn't have gotten much of otherwise, and SD has figured that if he flips the club within 12-18 months, he'll also make about £25-30m.
Cool, thanks. Just wanted to confirm you’re not an independent observer.
