Quite a turn a round of events. The Piss Taking party stops now and along these lads have been the leaders :rolleyes:
On another note, the Covid 19 is going to fuck football as we know so if you had money, would you invest now or once things are clearer? This is why I admire Ashley if he can get his asking price.
Talk of football being played behind closed doors so loss revenue in tickets, merchandise, tv revenue and fuck knows what will happen with corporate packages. As a company, what do you try and do, save yourselves or spend cash on football tickets?

As for the TV deals, will this mean the bubble has burst and there will be no where near the money thrown at it? Granted the Premier appeal will be there but to the people who are struggling financially globally, so you try and keep your head above water or spend money on TV packages? Pubs and clubs will not get the people in so can they afford tv deals?

It is early and my boy has kept me awake so sorry if not making sense but this pandemic, football will not be the same and for those wanting Donald out, whilst this is going on with the economy, we are stuck with him for some time and it could mean the club sinks to lower levels

Potentially finishing 8th/7th on predicted points per game. What scares me is I thought we’d bottomed out last season. If we ignore play offs final we’ve finished 5th and 8th in league one with Donald as owner. Consecutively our lowest finishes in the football league ever. He shouldn’t have ever been allowed to buy the club, he hasn’t got the money to run it. Surely it can’t get any worse. Can it?

I bet some Bury fans thought that when the piss-taking sheister that oversaw their final demise bought them for £1 and then right royally shafted them.

Its like a kid in Australia running to his dad and saying "Dad look, there is a fire coming" "Its ok son, its just the sun setting, can you check the BBQ, I can smell something burning?"
 
ordinary football fans made good, wanting to help out a famous club and putting in millions of their own money = treacherous scum.

put your own money up and buy the club if you feel that strongly. our fans are getting so greedy and so needy that they're starting to sound like the scum.

It seems more Donald had given a fifth of our club to his mate for that price

This could well be the truth he said £50m mysteriously turned up in his account to show EFL he had funds to buy SAFC so maybe it was JS money that turned up and that got him his 20%, CM got his 6% for sorting deal also cost him nothing I believe and SD puts in next to nothing of his own dough so the jobs a good un until we don’t get promoted and it all starts unraveling, possible I’d say, very possible

Which is why Ellis Short stated he was selling to an international consortium. I've said this all along, that Sartori's role was vastly overplayed to both Short and the EFL, in fact, fabricated.

You do realize they took £25m out of the club as a loan and won't be paying it back? Donald sold 20% to Sartori for £1. That means he values the club at £5. They haven't put their own money in.

What’s Sunderland and Bury got in common? A piss-taking sheister. And to think some people still think Donald has saved SAFC.
