Sale is close - Barnsey

[Helmerroids]

I see the mud slinging is starting. The lads providing snippets need to maintain their discretion. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if the baiting is to try and get people to break confidentiality rules and jeopardise deals.

Loose lips sink ships, I’m desperate to know what’s going on but feel uncomfortable the more I find out whilst NDA’s are in place.

 

[Wayne The Punk]

Aye of course. I'm just like any Sunderland fan following this thread I'd love some genuine information but I dont think anyone really knows what's going on

But you want to just pour cold water on anything sounding good? More mag smell

 

[palm 1]

May aswell just support one of the current top clubs in that case imo.

Red Bull Sunderland isn't Sunderland AFC. The crest won't be Sunderland AFC's.

My club is Sunderland AFC, not some shite brand.

I can’t get my head around this mind set. Would you rather be f***ing around in the third division for the next decade or be challenging in the Champions League . A badge and slight name change would soon be forgotten if we were emulating Leipzig.

He's demanding people support their claims otherwise they're spouting BS, yet a few days ago he said Danny Graham was going to Ipswich, 3 people asked how he knew, and he didn't respond to any of them. I'm not saying DG isn't going to Ipswich but it's all a bit pot and kettle

Not at all as an individual from a country isnt responsible for the country's human rights record unless he runs said country. That was the problem with the Mags takeover they were literally being bought by the Saudi state.

Just because a rich person is from a shady country doesnt necessarily make them complicit in that nations wrong doings. Sheff Utds owner case in point

okay BRING IT ON then!!!

 

[Bonzo]

Neither as its absolute made up bollocks. No one knows what's going on and people are just guessing

How can you say its not Dubai or Qatar if no one knows?

 

[Get Into Em]

which of the top clubs have had a name change due to sponsorship like?

None (in England). You've completely missed my point.

Supporting 'RB Sunderland' imo wouldn't be the same as it'd be a completely different club. May aswell support a current top club.

f***ing right!

 

[Get Into Em]

Stop moaning fuck all has happened yet !

I'm only moaning about a hypothetical scenario that has absolutely no chance of happening man, cut me some slack.

I'd rather be supporting Sunderland AFC.

please explain what your point is then im confused ..why would SAFC have to change its name under RB sponsorship when the top clubs have not done similar with their sponsorship deals ..

Ah the brain dead perennial underachievers eh. You’d be happy languishing as long as it’s your club. Mental.

Hopefully it all goes through and you are proved wrong, I have had enough shit in the past few years from the club, I need to cling onto any small glimmer of hope

 

[G Force]

I think the confusion is that some journo from Dubai said he isn't one of the 3 billionaire Dubai investors....then MG was supposed to be taking to people from Qatar (BeIN sports connections etc...)

Then the board put 2+2 together and come up with UAE and Qatar being 1 nation. Basically

In a nutshell

 

[Smiler]

A.F.C.Bournemouth.
Bournemouth and Boscombe.

Hartlepools Utd
Hartlepool Utd.

Also changed the stadiums name without moving

Hopefully, I'd love to be proved wrong and wake up to Micky Gray flanked by 3 filthy rich Dubai businessmen kicking Stewart Donald down the A19

Which clubs do RB own that haven't changed their name/crest like? Every club that I'm aware of has.

Would be happy enough for us to be taken over by them if we're not branded like all their other clubs. Again though, it's a hypothetical scenario.

It wouldn't be the club my dad grew up supporting and it wouldn't be the club I grew up supporting.

 

[joedurham]

No, UAE is made up of Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Muscat. Totally different to Qatar and Lebanon.

errr, yes, I am aware that Lebanon in a different country. I even know that the capital is Beirut. As they are a failed nation finacially it was supposed to be a joke - but obviously you haven't caught on.

 

[rubberface]

Why would this be the case all of a sudden, surely they would have known he was involved from the outset, seems far fetched.

Believe what you want mate
