For those of you confused about the Nixon\Satori thing, here it is in its full context. To me Nixon suggests our buyer could be Sartori's father-in-law, not it is him. He first mentioned him in reply to a question from a Sunderland fan:

Pickford
Henderson
Egan
Hourihane
Waghorn
Colback
Honeyman

All played in the top 2 leagues this season alone.

Add in the likes of Alnwick, Meyler, Brown, Bridges, Leadbitter and McCartney who have all played consistently in the top 2 divisions over the last 20 years (I’ve no doubt missed some more) and it shows you’re talking pap

Pickford - Yes
Henderson - Yes
Egan - made no difference to Sunderland (financially or through appearances)
Hourihane - made no difference to Sunderland (financially or through appearances)
Waghorn - ok
Colback - yes
Honeyman - yes
Alnwick - yes
Meyler - signed from Cork in his 20s
Brown - ok
Bridges - came through academy in early/mid 90s well before AOL
Leadbitter - yes
McCartney -yes

I agree that having a good academy is a great thing, but when the club is in poor health it might be hard to justify spending lots of money on when the outcome is a Waghorn or Chris Brown every few years.
Seems any half promising youngster gets snapped up by Liverpool etc any
 
:D I mean like everyone I hope this is true and they're credible, financially viable new owners...

... but a week ago nobody was 'in the data room' and now Donald is tipping off Barnes that a sale can be done in the next few weeks, presumably before they've actually done DD to know if they actually definitely want to buy us once they've seen the p&l forecasts.

This is exactly what happened with FPP. He got ahead of himself and the reality didn't live up to expectations.

Going to take it with a pinch of salt until we get more details.
