Said this the other day. Makes little sense racing this through before Oct 31st. It’s not as if the transfer window is open.

I’d expect sterling to drop at least 5% v the dollar. I realise these fellas are wealthy but around £2m extra in their pockets isn’t to be sniffed at.

Dah dah well done

Fair enough- sorry for the reply but I’m getting tired of safc fans always looking to previous failed solutions to improve current situations- its old sunderland all ower -

You'd be surprised at different scenarios and how people find things out.

Look at that post by Grump man

there is absolutely zero chance that someone is getting that level of detailed information about a multi million quid takeover by private billionaire investors, no chance man.

People seriously think confidential information is getting to leaked to message board posters, do you realise how many rules that would be breaking? of course they aint.

Reiver's had a ton of messages over the weekend. What he's asked me to put out on his behalf is this.

"More delays in being able to make an announcement, and the whole situation is putting the club in limbo. The new owners aren't declaring their intentions, but the 'current' owners can't do anything without fear of upsetting things. All kinds of things have been found in due diligence, as would happen at any club, but them wanting to have solutions in place before announcing just prolongs things. Everything from Alvarez, contracts going back to Moyes and before, and outstanding agents' demands have been analysed and extra people brought in to do the work. No surprise, but money was drained out of the club for fun. I don't think anyone's position is safe when, not if, the new T&Cs are carved into the heart of the club"

One thing to add and stress. THE TAKEOVER ITSELF IS NOT AT RISK. What's happening is the new owners wanting to put corrective measures into action before announcing, so that they can hit the ground running.

Cheers Reiver and GOM

I thought Donald sorted all this shit out with former players etc . Even though this Alvarez crap is still ongoing.

Could there be more skeletons in the closet?

Donald and Methven saved the club and dealt with all these issues so cant be that

I don't know how many rules tbh. Do you?

:lol: the fact everyone thought he had but clearly hasn’t is setting alarm bells ringing for me. After all, they lent money from the club to their business which surely would’ve paid the Alvarez settlement

The fact that they didn't feel the need to dip into our cash in another bank account instead of loaning money should be enough to raise those bells.

so you think he is? He can't possibly be.

Theres even a press black out on it.

Aye, they lied about that and nobody seems remotely bothered like. I don't get it.

I haven’t had any time at all to read all 222 pages but could someone explain why the owners are briefing on a message board through two posters? And why those two particular posters?

I only dip in and out so could be wildly off with this, but it seems we had a poster here who had a mutual acquaintance with one of the owners but that was it, and now they know the ins and outs of the whole deal.

As I say, could be way off.
