Donald on BBC Newcastle

[Morse]

Ooooo he's getting angry

He knows he’s fucked up.

 

[mad maxim]

Did he just say "we flippin heck stayed"????? Classy!

 

[deodrant2]

Embarrasing this.

'Well if we dont make payment the ownership changes to what the fans want anyway'

Massive degree of pity me when he said that wasn’t there? Thinks he’s a night in shining armour, he isn’t.

 

[Horace Cope]

He's not been as bad as I expected but his logic doesn't seem to stack up tbh.

Exactly. He says he offered the Americans the club at a very reasonable market rate price, but he's also said he's out of pocket for the thick end of 20 million quid but could've walked away before the Americans came to the table with a 30 million quid profit. Even debt free have any league one clubs been bought for anywhere near 50 million quid?

 

[Ferryhill Exile]

Anyone think what he's saying is fair enough

It is.

I just don’t trust SD or CM anymore. They chat an awful amount of shite, and also have contradicted eachother and themselves so much.

Part of me actually feels for SD, he seems a nice bloke - but all the good he has gone down the swanny now.

SD & CM are tarnishing this fanbase and seem so resentful of us.

 

[samaistonsrightfoot]

Mind I don't believe, and never have believed, he changed the valuation.

At least he's admitted it was takeover talks now.

 

[richest]

GOM what is your view regards how this sounds.

 

[safcpelaw]

Can someone explain how you can take a loan out and not be in debt?

By being in denial

 

[Katylala]

Grrr tiger

 

[Scotty 1978]

For what it’s worth I think he’s probably a canny bloke, but he’s in way too deep, Sunderland is too big for him

 

[10 Gary Rowells]

This man is not a business man...he's actually a saint.

 

[cluffy]

Seems too bothered about what people think.
Just get it right on the pitch ffs

 

[MadMackem10]

Likely going to be slated for this but having seen fans reactions to donalds interview tonight I totally understand why hes stepped back.
He clearly explained that this “loan” is against madrox and they are the only ones at risk if it goes tits up. If it happens these billionaires would then own the club. We know juan could easily put the money in if he wanted or you get get a bank loan, so the question is why exactly have they got this money from the americans? Because its the start of a long term relationship with them

 

[gipetto]

He isn’t going to get any difficult questions on there

He has to be fair.

 

[jackynutmeg]

He's like Pablo Escobar

 

[luvulongtime]

the insurance and car hire salesman's mask's well n truly slipped when held to account by a professional journalist instead of starstruck spodcasters imo

true mate..'to defeat a false prophet you must first unmask him before his believers' wise words of Charlie Chan there mate

 

[Boot Cleaner]

Has he mentioned that it's lose lose for them...

 

[gipetto]

It's clear that Stewart reads this message board.

 

[Boyceyyy]

hi Stewart

 

[Ferryhill Exile]

I don’t know what to think.
