I seriously doubt they're instantly giving the manager two months to save his job based on what they've read on ReadyToGo.

After watching sexy football in France Phil Parkinson's out dated dreadful football will come as a great shock to our new owner

maybe he has!
I am happy to say i said nothing was happening and in the face of it, i admit it does look like i was wrong. However, lets stand back and look at whats really happening here.
My scepticism was based on my disbelief that SD would walk away without his payday, particularly considering the position we are in in the league. If reports are to be believed hes not walking away and stands to make a decent wedge if someone takes us where we want to be. The 3 stooges collectively owned and had a controlling stake before. They still do. Sartori has shown little to no interest in the club since he started. Why is he suddenly interested now? In the middle of a pandemic? Its not like hes suddenly picking up a bargain as he was practically gifted his initial 20% anyway. Theres every chance SD could just be cashing some shares in as hes feeling the pinch. Sartoris pal said, "aye go on then ill take them". This is not a takeover for me, its a shuffling of the deckchairs to keep people happy. At the end of the day, the same 3 clowns are calling the shots.

Let's wait and see. I know people are getting their hopes up, but there's no way that they're already making decisions on the playing squad and coaching staff.
I hope youre so very right. But i will reserve the right to my scepticism until i have proof its unfounded. I would love that to be the case by the way. I would rather just be wrong than be right so i could crow about it.

Not even "dong" headlines on Tyne tees news. No surprise there then.
But terrible about John Hays.
