Sale is close - Barnsey

[richest]

Good post marra, however FPP met the club in a well known Italian in Cleadon

SO WHY did Rodwell agree to the meeting then? Must be more than a publicity stunt.

 

[The Beautiful Game]

No, the big issue we have currently is being owned by a charlatan who promised the world and loads of finance with his wealthy backers but have turned out to be absolute chancers. I wonder why I'm concerned about this bloke?

I don’t disagree with your scepticism but what wealthy backers did Donald have like? At the start it was just him and methven and I think most of us were sceptical of sartori a actual wealth when taking his relatives out of the equation.

 

[Lord Nigle]

Why is our CEO meeting with him then?

Adds some sort of legitimacy to the bollocks

 

[Mboma]

He and prehab have both posted similar stuff without realising what the other is posted so I suspect he’s definitely got an insight. Very defensive though for some reason.

I just dont see the point in posting stuff like that. We can all ellude to knowing something without actually knowing anything at all. It doesnt really help matters.

If they do know something, then they should just keep it to themselves, dropping little hints just smacks of attention seeking tbh.

I do agree it could have been a “cease and desist” kind of thing but it’s very coincidental that they both happened to be in Sunderland on the same day

 

[mickythemackem]

He seems to suggest a lot of the bad press will go away soon, so I'll give him benefit of doubt. For now...he may be a right plank!


Could be, aye!

Well he would do that, wouldn't he

 

[Realist]

I believe the bid is genuine, just don't believe he's got the finances or that it would end well if he was successful.

He genuinely sponsored an F1 team without any money mate. He's happy to bluff his way through life it seems, with little actual cash and an energy drink that no-one has actually seen on shelves

Well if he has got backers I'm sure it's those who hold all the money and not him. I have to say it is strange about the energy drink though, although I seen some on Amazon to buy but none in the shops. If he is successful can only hope those who back him have more sense in running of the club.

Rodwell plus 2 others, the truth will out

It’s marketed as a luxury brand so appears more in clubs and at events rather than B&M but it’s still as rare as rocking horse shit

 

[molthemackem]

I'm thinking along these lines too. Yesterday was a good laugh, and a lot of people played along, as you say. For me, Storey is either doing it all for publicity, or, it's all a set up, by whom, I dont know. Is it Donald who has set it up to take the piss out of the fans? Dinnar.

i cant see any other reason...If he is not under NDA then it makes perfect sense for a wind up (which I'm fairly certain it is) or Donald and Methven being mischievous again

 

[gavrocks]

This guy says he has the backing sartori says his looking for investors who do you trust in have a feeling if sartori takes over Donald and Methven will somehow keep a stake in the club

 

[Sons of The Wear]

You'd be surprised.

Are they 'surprisingly' good? Genuine or fantasy?
What's the crack from the other group in the light of Storey's escapades yesterday?

 

[Splurty]

Bit worrying when he's said in the radio interview he had his backers in place 5 months ago and has been working on the plans, costings, vision since then

He claimed a lot of things in the radio interview. 100 million pound business..?

 

[sir rowell cummins]

Agree. Until we know who is backers are its hard to comment. Similar with the other bid if there is one.

If Mr Storey is not successful we may never know.

My prediction is he will fail and then throw names out and say ‘look what you could have won' and some of those names will say - whats he going on about that isn't even true'. But he will sell a few crates of caffeine, sugar and water.

 

[molthemackem]

I think William Storey is just a fantasist who gets a kick out of this sort of nonsense. The only thing that doesn't add up is that he says the club know who these 4 'World class' backers are.

If i were him and he alluded to it about the Salary cap, there are ways to get around it, The names of the backers could be drip fed into the press or any media for that matter and nothing could be done by Donald etc...

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Has to be something in it, surely you can see that. Why would you come all this way for abit of publicity knowing Donald will turn you away? Haway doesn't make sense, meeting the ceo same day. If you have credible information like we're all ears.

Knighton was kicking a football on the pitch at Old Trafford. Still didn't stop him being an utter fantasist.

 

[Splurty]

SO WHY did Rodwell agree to the meeting then? Must be more than a publicity stunt.

Getting/attempting to stop all the pointless PR he's doing.

 

[molthemackem]

Imagine being so f***ing desperate as a business and as a businessman that you think that Steve Wraith will boost the profile of your business. Was the True Geordie too expensive, or just too busy getting women to shit on him?

In my best Catherine Tate voice as gran......The Diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirty Bastard

 

[Sleepy]

Well he would do that, wouldn't he

OF course, but it could be true! Thats my point, I will judge him on his actions here (if he gets the gig)
