Is Clive Hetherington likely to know and land himself an (understated) exclusive on this?

Seems a non story to me as I would imagine the 10 mill loan would automatically put them at the front

From what I remember of it (a bit hazy admittedly) they suggested it was definitely meant to be a full takeover initially and they thought FPP were still interested. They did say that they didn't have any direct correspondence with anyone at FPP, but they certainly gave the impression that they were still at the table, and didn't seem to go along with the idea that they were only investing in Donald! If I was to read between the lines (so this is just personal opinion) I was getting the impression that they thought Donald was asking for too much money and that they hoped the statement might make him reconsider, but that wasn't explicitly said
He has reported on Sunderland for many years, used to work for the Echo and then the Northern Echo.
The article doesn’t really say anything or quote anyone though, so probably a non-story.

I m convinced that this 10 million is the initial instalment of the takeover. The rest will be dependent on what division we are in. Donald’s having one last punt at making some money before selling.

And that was what pissed me off.
After the investment was announced he told everybody that if he defaulted on the loan then ‘they would own the club which is what most of the fans want’
