I thought summerbee was Sloanes?. There’s a few on here who are no doubt club plants, nobody could be so pro Donald and methheid as some of them

He may be a plant or he may be a WUM, but I don't believe he's Sloanes.

Sloanes is a non executive director at the club and part of the remit is that you're 'always on the clock' - basically whatever he says about the club at any time is a club statement, and he's representing the club even on time away from it.

If you look at some of the things Summerbee has said:
Taking the piss out of Bali Mumba when he moved to Norwich
Slagging off the kids who were 'encouraged' to leave for compensation payments
Insinuating that parents at the academy were trying to engineer moves
(And christ there's much more and much worse than that).

So even if you put aside the utter stupidity of a NED signing up for a fans message board and winding up fans?
Every one of those statements would be an incredible breach of role and responsibilities for a real NED - they would be sackable offences.

Probably because nobody has got anything right to be honest.

In the last year we've had FPP as new owners, huge investment, plans to improve the city, Poyet in as manager and has met the players, Schwarz likely to join as DoF and a monorail.

Not one person mentioned Dreyfus until it broke through L'Equipe, nobody mentioned Johnson as manager either until it broke from various news sources and nobody mentioned Speakman until that broke through Football Insider.

Also advised Donald is now a silent shareholder and will no longer have any involvement in the club, until Johnson confirmed he spoke to him at length.

Apart from that bang on, ties in with what i've heard IIRC.

Johnson was mentioned a week or so prior to appointment. Cant remember who by but i had too look him up as Id nivver heard of him.

I am not ITK but this “takeover” not happening anytime soon that’s for certain, as the ITK nuggets have gone very quiet all of a sudden, so my guess is Donald got overly greedy again.

How he has killed this club on every level could have sold to FPP a year ago.

Delusion = Greed.

Perhaps the EFL bail out monies changed the landscape?

If he admitted it or was caught.

It would be an act of phenomenal stupidity. Maybe I'm crediting him with more integrity and professionalism than I should?

But for those reasons I think he's on a wind up, not Sloanes.

Agreed. It'll be a WUM who has realised that a certain type of wind up really annoys people, and gives them the attention they crave because people start thinking theyre someone involved with the club. Maybe Methven would register and annoy people, but any sort of pre-planned club representative coming onto the site might try and paint a slightly rosier picture than most, but they'd know that pissing people off would make things worse. There's no way he's sloanes

"Given these circumstances, and Stewart Donald’s sincere commitment on his arrival at Sunderland AFC that “I won’t outstay my welcome”, the Board feels that it has no option but to sell the club. That process has now commenced. Owing to confidentiality agreements, there will be no further updates until a preferred bidder is identified"

A sincere commitment apparently. 😂
