I wish the club would come out and say no, not happening, just to be sure. :lol:

Do you mean as opposed to the CEO meeting him for a pint in a very busy bar? :confused::evil:

Did they not brief through the press that he's talking shit?

I honestly can't remember now. Not sure if it's just the whole lockdown stuff or SAFC takeover saga but my brain is all over the place right now!

Just posted this on the Luke Garbutt thread but Magnus over the road is posting he is close to a 3 year deal

Now if he gets that right we can presume he has a decent source and the takeover info he has might have some legs 🤔🤔🤔

Didn’t that come from a fake Nixon twitter account

Yes it’s a forum post. What do you expect it to be on a forum? A live interview with would be buyers. It’s just information people claim to have

Sure, I get that. I’m just curious as to why we believe this rumour as opposed to others? For example a tweet from a dubious looking account with minimal followers is rightly dismissed, but this forum post seems to have spawned a few hundred pages here - so I’m merely wondering if there’s anything that makes this rumour more believable.

Though it seems there is nothing more to it than a ‘I know a guy who said..’ forum post in this instance - I hope I’m wrong and I hope it’s true though.

how much publicity do you think he has had?

A lot. Like I said the other day, do you think his reputation is better or worse for the PR guff he's achieved recently? Remember that he was annihilated by the Haas PR/court case, publicly excoriated for being a lying twat.

And here are a bunch of recent headlines:

William Storey claims he has 'blue-chip' backers ready to take over at Sunderland

It doesn't matter that people will be sceptical, it matters that he gets his name in the news for literally anything else except being a con artist.

Someone on here said Magnus was chief exec under Ellis Short. Been asked over there if this was true. Says no he has never worked for the club but he knows people that have.
