From the Chronicle’s comments page.

Mike is the Godfather of my child he's a generous guy and I hate to say this I know personally this deal broke down weeks ago. The reason this has not been made public is with everyone in lockdown it's seen as a bad time to release the news . I have hard evidence the deal broke down. Anyone wanting to talk or see proof let me know and I will gladly email my contact details or arrange to meet . This evidence is in black and white. I won't release it to the press but will be more than happy to show you. I also have correspondence from Mike with reference to the deal breaking down . Mike is not in the UK and has not spoken with Amanda since before lockdown.

One of the sticks that Ashley gets hit with is that he doesn't invest when it's wise to. e.g. Pardew somehow managed 5th, we had money in the bank and that summer we signed Vurnon Anita, subsequently the season that followed was a relegation scrap. Ashley could have written off the debt (as Short did), or worked on commercial income for the club's benefit.

Some fans might, some fans expect us to be relegated every season. Most fans I know, and most fans online seem not to exist at these extremes. Unsurprisingly.



I do admit that. The majority of my life (I'm 38) Sunderland have finished below Newcastle. My experiences of Newcastle include title challenges, European competitions, cup finals, comfortable midtable finishes, and only a few seasons out of the top flight. My experiences of Sunderland; usually finishing below us, not playing in Europe, not challenging for the title, spending a good few seasons out of the top flight, the seasons you were in the top flight spent in the bottom half. All of these experiences do paint a picture of Sunderland AFC as a bit shit.

And of course I'm biased and forget the dross years for us and emphasise the bad years for you, but I hope you see that it's an understandable POV. If I was perhaps older and saw you be more successful, or if I was younger and hadn't seen us challenge for the title, or play in the Champions League, saw more of us in lower leagues, maybe I wouldn't hold this view.

The rivalry will always paint the opposition as shit, how often do you see people insist on here that our players are shit, our manager is shit, our stadium is shit, our city is a shithole etc. It's daft tribalism. Which is fine. It's when you see people twisting themselves in knots to try and dismiss achievements, or downplay history or whatever. There's plenty of shit to throw at both clubs, and plenty to celebrate without fabricating made up shit.

I've said "shit" a lot.
And said a lot of shit.

I would usually say leave him alone he doesn’t deserve it. However, it’s Craig Hope so I’m not arsed.

Surely if there’s any doubt these reubens could just agree to fuck off the Saudis? At least initially. The Reubens are number 3 on the rich list. Abramovich is only number 12 so it’s hardly like they’ll be struggling for cash

If true, there is zero chance it will go through. How the hell can the premier league give it the go-ahead !

Where did the stories about the PL signing it off come from? The PL never mentioned anything. I think Stavley is a bigger bullshitter than Donald!

Seem to remember that the previous Mag consortium she was involved with tried to buy Liverpool a decade or so back and sources on the Liverpool end pretty much dismissed them as a bunch of tyre kickers.
