I'm SAFC through and through.

Got some great mates both in the Army and civvie street who are Geordies.

I still want us to do better than them always. That's healthy rivalry.

But I can't understand how some can slate their ambitions as fans. We have, we all have.

(Obviously, not the deluded ones who think they're a top 10 European team.)

I get that they should want a more ambitious club owner, I can't disagree with that. Couldn't understand having mag mates though, they have a tory-esque view of Sunderland and us in general, total polar opposite to us. As most recently seen with their desperation to get the murdering gay bashers to buy the club.

They're all deluded and there are ambitions and reality.

Nah it’s not clear that they’re back at the table at all. Look at Staveley when she was pressed on talk sport.

How can they make a decision when the Saudi group won’t admit where their funds are coming from?

Even then, they'd fail the test over the Bein piracy. Being involved in rights violations is an automatic fail.

Why? Too exciting for dull Rafa?

Fair point

I'd use different words, but pretty much, yeah.

ASM is allowed almost total freedom by Bruce, which is why we're so often horribly exposed down our left hand side. Benitez is all about the collective effort, rather than the individual.
 
Are any media outlets other than TalkSport actually reporting on this takeover?

That’s the TalkSport that exists to get supporters riled up over things and then put them on the air to make knackers of themselves.

I don’t really watch SkySports and have radio 5 on in the background sometimes and various football websites but from what I see and hear no one seems to care outside NE1…
