Takeover News/Rumours

[Vincemac]

If only that were true....

I get the impression tomorrow will come and go with nothing happening.

Someone will then post it's a minor issue that's cropped up unexpectedly but things are still on track as we kick the can further and further down the road.

It somehow is a good example of the never ending torment we're all enduring as Sunderland fans under Donald's ownership..... a never ending purgatory

Yeah I hope we get something positive
today

One has already said it will take little longer

 

[Hongkongphooey]

Probably going to be one of the bigger meltdowns tomorrow when nowt happens. A few members on here are already near the edge.

 

[Abu Dhabi Red and White]

When is the RAWA meeting with the club?

That'll be right.

 

[Helmer]

When is the RAWA meeting with the club?

This Thursday. We'll hear nowt till then, IMO.

 

[Abu Dhabi Red and White]

Yeah, unless the club decide to take the wind from RAWA's sails by announcing something positive beforehand.

 

[Dick Fitzwell]

Yeah, unless the club decide to take the wind from RAWA's sails by announcing something positive beforehand.

but not necessarily true

 

[Abu Dhabi Red and White]

but not necessarily true

Things can change.

 

[Helmer]

Hopefully. Though, I'm expecting Rodders to come out with the usual "it's moving along nicely, but Coronavirus is causing delays blah blah blah".

 

[Football Dinosaur]

Hopefully. Though, I'm expecting Rodders to come out with the usual "it's moving along nicely, but Coronavirus is causing delays blah blah blah".

Then it'll be an "odd" time to take action and we kick the can down the road further. We just keep going round in circles...

 

[Abu Dhabi Red and White]

We certainly don't need further platitudes.

Just spoke to Ted Danson as he was fishing off the pier. It ain't him unless he was bullshitting.

Cheers for that.

****BREAKING NEWS*****

nowts happening

 

[KittenMittens]

Yeah Derby's takeover hasn't even gone through and they're happy to discuss it.

Again, I'm not sure what purpose there is in hiding the identity of our potential new owners after nearly 4 months of apparently being close to them buying us. It can only lead to two conclusions: Either they don't think it's going to go through yet, or they're worried about our reaction.

If you're a new owner, you want to get us onside and get everyone pulling in the right direction, you would at least want to prepare the ground for when you assume control. We're supposed to believe that this represents professionalism, but at some point it becomes extremely odd, if not cowardly, if someone isn't willing to put their name by a bid for us after this amount of apparent discussion.

I’m not enduring any torment, I gave up on them a long time since.

 

[cluffy]

What time is the takeover not happening tomorrow?

I suspect they are worried about our reaction, especially if SD & CM are sticking around

It's laughable the way some people go on.

Doesn't the non-disclosure thing last for a specified period?
