SAFC Takeover Latest

[englishman abroad]

Likewise, Janey.
Am much grateful for GOM's & Reiver's combined contribution, to this thread.

Good shout mate, most of the stuff posted on this thread has been embarrassing, #2 decent posters have helped make sense of it all

I know what you mean ,I’ve often been called a racist Homophobic idiot who’s stuck in the 1950’s .

Really cuts deep when people say that like .

The 1950’s bit ?

Grumpy don't be Grumpy...
Me for one appreciates everything you & @Reiver give us.
Just let the haters hate mate

I couldn’t agree more mate. There’s far too many haters on here and they’ve driven away one more decent poster. Unfortunately there’s always some arsehole that has to pick holes in everything!


Edit: It’s “I, for one”, not “me for one”, thickheed

Nice piece in the Echo regarding the takeover of the Marlins and what we can expect.

 

[Banks]

no he didn’t. He got off pretty lightly really. When you put your neck on the line and say something like the takeover will be done this week and then it doesn’t happen you have to expect a bit of come back.

It's somewhere in the middle really.

I don't deny he had genuine knowledge but he also was lapping up the attention. He made himself a target really.

He was dishing it out plenty seems he can't take it.

So from what we're hearing, Ross could be replaced upon announcement? I'll be a happy Sunderland Supporter if that comes true

 

[Red]

Unless he was getting nasty PM's what was posted on here was people doubting him which they can do if they want. It isn't North Korea FFS

Of course they can, but one posters obsession doubting anything he said was pathetic.

This is Reiver's final contribution to this, and possibly any other, thread.

Reiver has asked me to thank all the decent people who appreciate the information and post this message.

"Now that there's a 'conclusion' it's a good time to stop posting. The other information about the 'kick in the teeth', new owners' plans, the future of Ross and the replacements being considered will come out in time without my contribution. It's a shame that some posters can be vindictive and bitter without any good reason. The only common denominator seems to be a less than enthusiastic outlook on Sunderland. We have a bright future to look forward to and it's time for everyone to draw a line on the past. Haway the lads!"

For what it's worth, I can't disagree with a word of that. In the course of this and other threads, I've had my honesty, integrity and professional competence questioned. Like Reiver, I'm questioning the point of sharing anything at all because of the grief that comes with it.

Pass on my thanks to Reiver GOM. The last few weeks are the most bizare and mad in my time supporting the Club - 50 years.

Hopefully we will all be smiling very soon!

Was told today they want to extend the stadium so they can have NFL games at the sol but I thought they only played on AstroTurf?

He wasn't blameless himself though was he. Not like he was bullied he was dishing it out as well

Your opinion. Mine differs from it.

nah, the Browns, broncos and Redskins all play on grass, might be a couple of others

The 1950’s bit ?

That would really piss me off.

 

[GillytheGilf]

The 1950’s bit ?

Old fashioned in my outlook in domestic life .

 

[Upthere]

You heard they bringing their own man or not?

Yes. Not sure when.

 

[PhilSAFC]

No yours is just incorrect. It’s words on a message board, people weren’t bricking his windows.

 

[T_Bone]

He maintained all along that the takeover was “ done”. He stated this as fact.
It was his opinion when he said it will be done by whenever and he made it obvious that it was his opinion. You know as well as anyone that he can deal with criticism and bats it off regularly.
Don’t lose sight of the fact that he is not posting because he is banned, not because he can’t handle a bit of stick. Mind there’s been several posters happy to have a pop when they know he is not around to respond.
I know he’s been told a lot more than what he revealed on here. It will beinteresting to see what the future brings.

 

[GillytheGilf]

Yes. Not sure when.

Get in !!

Can you Hint at who .?

NFL games have been played at Wembley and Spurs have some games pencilled in for their place already
