Potential buyers will know this and they'll be trying to get themselves a bargain. We all just want Donald to fuck off, but you can't blame him for wanting at least a decent price, he probably can't afford to take a £20m hit. Obviously the longer this goes on the worse his position becomes.

I hope the f*cker loses a fortune me, and the delay in the takeover being finalised is just the big boys turning the screw on him.
 

This must be a long thread... We have got through the initial excitement phase, the fake ITK phase, the mag fighting phase, the arguing amongst ourselves phase and now we seem to be in some holding phase where there isn't anything left to talk about....
The que sera sera stage but i bet most of us wont be surprised if we are no further forward at the end of august as we were last august...personally the win we had has took the edge off for me and im.looking forward to the last bank joliday ...
 
If I was Donald , I’d be out of town as quick as I could . I’m losing money like weekly , and I’m out of my depth and I k ow it . Every week I’m losing money . Im Used to every week making it .
I reckon he's made a fortune out of sunderland. He will not be losing anything and any small amount of money he has put in he has took back out already.

he wants out ASAP
 
Is that your opinion or a bit more informed than that? I know you've had snippets in the past so just wondering if you know a bit more?

I don’t know any specifics other than it’s almost done And there’s “another” meeting soon. (I think others on here know more than me on this) But it was 100% agreed last time when there was a sudden change of heart...

Cautiously confident but:

My opinion is that we shouldn’t underestimate Donald’s fragile ego

Surely he can't have turned 35 mill down as was the rumour
 
Don’t think some ppl grasp how desperate he his to get out. If he’s here by Xmas we might not be in business. He’s potless and this is his best chance to get out.
People keep assuming he’s funding the club with his own money. He could easily leverage using the club with a number of loans against the club
 
I’ve no idea but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just Storey making trouble

Imo Storey is a plant that SD has created just to wind things up. He has made statements to say he knows there are other bids and his obviously made himself very visible on purpose.

Personally I'm unsure unsure if there is anything at all happening and if there is, I think the is a fair chance SD could blow it again if anyone serious realises Storey is a jester like character initiated by SD to keep other bidders on their toes.

You heard who it is?
Name one other club in our league that's worth 35 to 40 million.
Name one other league 1 club that gets anywhere near as big crowds as us, has a 49k stadium, class training ground and facilities and cat 1 academy?
