If this thread is to remain open can we please all calm down and cut out the personal abuse and threats.

Thank you.

Threats either openly on the board or via PM is an instaban offence.

One member has already gone the journey.

To date, every takeover thread on here has ended up a car crash and locked or deleted.

We know it's an extremely contentious issue and feelings are running high but can we please all dial it back a bit.

Thank you.

The thing is people keep expecting Donald to try and fuck things up at the last minute and it's never been down to him that sales have fallen through, Campbell wasn't able to show proof of funds and FPP were split amongst themselves whether to buy the club or not, they were worried when they looked into the losses clubs makes in the championship and spend years not being promoted, likes of forest and derby have spent and lost fortunes treading water.

I know this isn't going to be a popular opinion and I would definitely agree that Stewart Donald has made some big mistakes but none of them were due to his own greed, he just wasn't wealthy enough on his own to do this, if he was coming on board now with this money behind him things might have been different but his relationship with the fans isn't repairable now.

They wouldn’t be different. He’s as thick as two short planks and doesn’t have the first clue how to run a football club. Quite simply the worst, dumbest owner we’ve ever had - and that’s going some.

Sartori already owns 20% of Madrox. Methven owns 6%. The deal suggested only really works if it's for shares in Madrox; splitting up Medrox's shareholding in Sunderland created muiltiple complications, not least the Madrox/FPP debt.

Gotcha, thanks for clarifying. So his FiL would be buying Methven out presumably? GF taking the rest? Don't know why he wouldn't just take the additional 6% as well.

Well said mate. I think our fans were really frustrated with our demise and so they just needed a figurehead to project their frustrations into.

IMHO he’s actually done a good job, he’s steadied the ship financially. The only real mistake he made was the Maja/Grigg one, I find it baffling when people question his integrity. I haven’t seen one thing to suggest that he hasbeen anything but professional.

After last summer’s disappointment I said I would never get my hopes built up like that again. So far i’ve been pretty good just checking this tread a couple of times a day but tonight the excitement got a bit too much and i’ve been on every 10 minutes! Going to be a long week. Wouldn’t it be amazing if at last we had some genuinely exciting news. Fingers crossed and stay calm

Without having to scroll pages of nonscence, what’s the exciting news/gossip?
