Sale is close - Barnsey

Who is he?

Journalist and a Sunderland supporter

 

[Billy Batts]

So long story short, is that SD is being a prick again and the 'Good' group are about to pull out the deal, leaving us with the 'bad' group (Storey). Is that right?

Sounds like it.

Works in Dubai media. From Thorney. Not a billionaire.

 

[Guinness Guzzler]

Seems some sort of journalist who has heard something.
Donald best not fuck this one up if its 3 billionaires

Think I'm right in saying (someone will correct me if I'm wrong I'm sure!) that he was the first one who mentioned FPP. That being said, whether this is something he's actually heard, or whether people have just tweeted him about dubai groups having read this thread, is hard to tell

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

Well they are meant to be "minted".

And it could fall apart cause of a petty argument

Would it surprise anyone? Donald is the thinnest skinned owner in football.

 

[KJNMackem]

Would be interesting to know, who are Storeys backers.

 

[JHmackem]

Has the journo on twitter not just been reading this thread and heard the rumours of MG's backers being Qatari based and thought it would be a laugh to say he's not one of them, with him living in Dubai?

I didn't get the impression he has heard anything not mentioned on here.

 

[Howard the Duck]

Well, rather people sit on their arses n do nowt?

Not at all, I think you’ve misunderstood my post. Not a slight at MG at all, he deserves huge credit for even getting this far and caring enough to go to the trouble.
I was just saying from what you’ve said that it sounds like Donald’s about to fuck it up for us all.

Are people really questioning the petulance of Donald when he reported people to the police for calling him names on twitter

 

[safc_stevo]

He was one of the first people to report the FPP interest.

he's a journalist mate, if he knew owt he would say. Sell their own mothers for a headline that lot

What he is saying looks to be what people who know have heard. MG has a Dubai based group who want to buy the club and they are apparently loaded

 

[Blue Bell Lad]

This is the key point regarding him. Who are these 4 backers? If he names them then surely they are genuine

Here's my tuppence worth. The 2 sports people, Beckham and Thierry Henry. Non sports ,fulwell 73 and Jimmy krankie.

Not really. Untrustworthy people are unlikely to have trustworthy backers

 

[Wilfy]

Who is he?

Canny lad is Evva.

 

[The Ghost of Arca]

Canny lad is Evva.

As somebody mentioned he broke FPP news before most. Looks like he knows whats going on here aswell

 

[vinegar hill]

So,what’s the crack like?

This is what I thought, looks like he's trying to get the story out there and get a fan reaction, hopefully puts more pressure on Donald.

Incorrect. Grindon. Mam lives in Thorney though.

Good lad is Mark. Family is from good stock. Made a real good go of his career when he moved abroad many years ago.

I think it’s just a bit of self effacing humour from the bloke based on the rumours flying about. I think you may be reading too much into it. Unless I’m misreading it.
