Sale is close - Barnsey

[SAFC11]

Typical Storey. Banged on and on and on throughout social media to get this opportunity. Got people listening in. Was explosive as possible with consistent soundbites, trying to marry up to Safc fans with digs at financial suits (which he has always been surrounded with/likes the image of) mags etc. No actual detail, nearly caught himself up with the Marco comment (whilst he is actually in the sudio). Identification of 5 players with no clue about salary cap. Taking the piss out of actual successful billionaire groups.

Still stick to my initial information. The other group is in box seat. He won't be getting it. It's all bluster and to try and raise his own profile.

Can only hope you are right mate. He is not to be trusted or believed imo

 

[Billy Batts]

Just a hunch but I reckon he'd be A Keano or PDC kind of man.

If he brought Keane in, instant chubby.

I simply don’t believe him is the honest truth. His interview about getting the premier league players to the papers for a start. His company is basically a logo, his failed stint in F1 and his views on Covid on his social media is just not what I’d like as the owner of our club.

I don't think he'll have the backer BUT if he does and if they sound decent then I would say give him a go.

IF he really has £100 million and the backers then he sounds ideal! Very passionate And surprised he is so young (41)

He a year owlder than me and that makes me feel f***ing fantastic about my looks now!

 

[dalsafc]

From the interview - the 4 backers are going to have 85% of the club and he will take 15%.

He will be chairman and the executive board will be majority of Sunderland fans.

Thats the main thing, if the right people are involved and are as good as he said....we have to give them a go.

 

[Deleted member 13050]

He speaks very well but I'm very sceptical

Tbf after recent year we should be sceptical of every fucker

Didn’t hear it can someone summarize please?

Sounds like hes not being taken seriously be the club at all. The fact he said the group in negotiations only care about money and have charges against the club was a bit of a giveaway for me. I think he has said something he shouldn't have done under his NDA.

 

[coyneeee_s]

Anyone who believes this fool who has had previous history of failing to provide funds is a moron.

He said, don't listen to that hertsmackem negative bloke...

Last time I heard, they were not and he was told to go away. He hasn't. Still being explosive as possible.

 

[Scootsie]

He certainly speaks passionately.

 

[cluffy]

He came over well to me
Pridey was pulling no punches either....

The only way he could be a bullshitter is if he doesn't really have the backers/finance. If that's the case he won't be able to buy the club anyway so who cares? I'll enjoy it while it's happening.

 

[KittenMittens]

Wow. That interview was insane and I'm even more convinced he's a fantasist using us as a PR stunt to keep his mythical £100m energy drink company image up.

Calling FPP financial locusts on the radio was a potentially f***ing stupid move too, even if he believes it.

We have a new messiah.

 

[ir35]

He's full of shit imo

Yeah but it’s emotive shit.

This is the issue. I am seeing people say ' worth a shot in my book, give him a chance'. I could have walked to my local. Got a passionate, semi educated MLF and got him to do that interview.

Same people would say the same.

Devil is ALWAYS in the detail.

 

[TeamOfTalents]

If you check HMRC for Rich Energy , or Rich Energy OMG Racing his name is nowhere to be seen ?

 

[Secret Visage]

From what little I know, Short would have no interest in coming back. He knows he messed up, knows he lost a lot of money and wouldn't be any more confident about getting it right this time.

If, as one of the backers, Ellis gets a stake in the club for say £10 million, he's then got a chance of getting a chunk of his previous loss back, whilst only taking a "shared risk" on the purchase.

More than likely not, but I wouldn't entirely rule it out.
