Sale is close - Barnsey

[6inarow]

From a local consortium to a Russian billionaire in less than 24 hours

Only at Sunderland

With fit and proper test under scrutiny atm, this fella could be a problem...hes a bit of a dodgepot by all accounts

 

[Coeus]

Its red bull, the w storey stuff came about because he caught wind of it and is mental.

Were going from one of the worst ownerships in modern football to the best.

 

[The Ghost of Arca]

You reckon it's true he's pretty 50-50 when it comes to info

Its Sunderland so there is no chance i am getting my hopes up a bloke worth 7 billion is looking to buy/invest in us

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

Ha'way the barmy Ruskie

Easily got round by using a Caymans Island Trust with his daughter as beneficiary. Fit and proper test only applies if you're directly involved in ownership and management.

Its happening

 

[Arfa Sleep]

Why wouldnt he just say if he knew

Potentially because he knows nowt, cryptic so if something does happen, well, he's sorted of alluded to it.

If prehab is correct it won't be the Russians

 

[Gaz]

But he has put a story/rumour out this morning?

“Sunderland. Donald is switching search for a buyer. Won’t be Campbell. Gone on too long. No names for new favourite. But no shock if Sartori has found someone.“

Three people saying three different things. Fuck knows who knows what

 

[Scotlands number 9]

Well this has gone absolutely mental hasn’t it. Hopefully it’s just someone competent and has the resources to at least get us to being a comfortable championship team

Plus why are we after Graham

 

[Perryqhill]

Be somebody underwhelming as fuck

Underwhelming? Surely as long as it's someone not using the clubs own funds to purchase and someone who is going to run the club the right way it doesn't matter?

 

[Mallard]

A daft question, if FPP got the club by a default on a loan what would happen in if they didnt pass the fit and proper persons test? Or would that have been sorted prior to the loan agreed?

 

[Confucius]

Doeshe not represent the club for player insurance...I'm sure I read that somewhere?

Dunno mate

 

[Perryqhill]

Im genuinely concerned about who he would be willing to sell us to. It’s a shame in hindsight more questions weren’t asked of Short’s willingness to sell us to any fucker, which turned out to be these lot.

Short's 'genorosity' in paying off our debts (even though he actually didn't) probably rescued more funds for him and saved him paying more out for a club worth absolutely fuck all at the time than many people are willing to concede.

 

[Wansbeck Viking]

Not sure. Does he not own Monaco? He was at Trafalgar Square that night before Wembley iirc

I think he had dealings at Monaco but was involved in a few shady deals. Could be wrong.

 

[kwillhen]

Nathan O'Brien has links with FPP #justsaying

This, he was involved when they first appeared and O'brian has always has been interested in the club for all the right reasons.

 

[big les]

If this was to come off quickly, you would think Parkinson is on borrowed time.
