Replying to @paulthomase

It is very very close

I love that tweet mind "died of death"

 

[Coeus]

Saddening that folk are expecting a chap to come into the club, pay off 70 million in debt and then chuck away 10 million on playing staff and commit more expenditure.

 

[Northumberland Rocks]

Dave has enquired about it but ran a mile when he found out some of the shit going on.
I know it's not Greame Wylie, but it's a NE big hitter in the city, who is i am told a massive mate of Quinny

Any timelines?

The debt won't be paid off whoever comes in. It'll be restructured

Either way, it would be remiss to commit further money whilst the debt remains and that is what some are expecting.

Exactly mate.
No one with the right mindset is going to write off so much coin in the first place.

 

[Rottie]

so the crack is we'll have a new face at the top instead of Short, still have circa £100m debt (or whatever) and still nowt to spend on players?

and hopefully get rid of that chancer Bain.

Most clubs are in debt and they still spend, I'm sure Man Utd are half a billion in debt.

Sounds that way. Be good to have somebody new at the top but sounds like we still won't have a pot to piss in regarding transfers.

We won't need a fortune next season anyway

That happened to me, once. It was during the second half against Barnsley.

 

[soapster]

No. There’s a journalist I’m friends with who knows but he won’t tell me. He’s trying to get concrete facts so he can break the story properly.
He just tells me I’m wrong whenever I mention names.

now that I can believe

Our team died of "Doctor Death"

seems that way. hope to god it's someone with a decent link to the club.

going off clubs in league 1 spend it looks that way. a half decent structuring of the club would be a big step in the right direction.

Alan Nixon has tweeted "to stop having to say the same thing again and again. Re Sunderland takeover the fanzine tweet was accurate. Just details over timing and handover to be sorted out."

 

[soapster]

He could of let Coleman spend 6-7 million in January and there’s a good chance it would of saved us. Absolute disgrace what he’s done.

I don't think it will have taken that.

a good goalkeeper and a striker would have seen us saved

 

[Deleted User 11453]

I can accept a few years in div 3 and longer in div 2 as long as there is a plan in place.

At least if we have some momentum eventually we can attract big crowds to offset a lack of sky cash.

Details over timing.
Does this mean waiting to get relagated b4 going ahead with the takeover?.
Because this could happen soon.

Sounds like you know the same people I do.
