Or seen another perspective. Grumpy was slated for saying the books looked ok and he’s a good poster. Our football mistakes will cost us decent books going forward without new investment so he hasn’t got it right it’s clear, but all he’s saying mainly is the books are good and he’s not evil. That’s fair enough. I think the comments about the fan groups and fans has made a lot angry. That’s fair enough too. If he doesn’t close a decent deal for us I’ll be angry but it’s not looking far off so let’s chill.

Don’t recall GoM saying the books are particularly good. Also the bald numbers of a p&l aren’t a satisfactory description of the health of the club as they lack context - so id dispute that even if he had said that. To go back to my analogy, the easiest way to lose weight fast is to chop your leg off.

How would the fpp loan work if this is the deal? Would £9 million come off the purchasing price or would they have to pay donald the extra £9 million so he can pay it back type of thing?

If the deal is to buy Madrox, then the FPP loan is still there, but could be written off by them, or turned into additional Madrox shares. It's already been put into the club.

I think Bob's issue was that he often changed his info, or posted in riddles. He said Barnes is not correct, said barnes got his info from Nixon and there have been times when he has given the info over whether in food faith or not and been incorrect (probably not intentionally but its bit him on the backside). Getting into petty back and forths and getting himself into stand offs with other posters havnt helped his course. I hope he comes back to the forum and is vindicated but at the start of all of this he flat out said we wernt being taken oven it's more investment. Contradicting Barnes. Hiding to nothing from the start

He said Nixon worked for the Chronicle which was utter bollocks - and when people called it out, he doubled down. Until someone asked Nixon.

How many incidents like this... Hard not to conclude the man is a whopper.

I’m saying that he’s said things people don’t want to hear or agree with and yeah it’s ok to disagree but he’s got a right to his view.

Gotcha, thanks for clarifying. So his FiL would be buying Methven out presumably? GF taking the rest? Don't know why he wouldn't just take the additional 6% as well.

It gives Rybovlev a foot in the door, but not so far in that he'd need to go through an owners and directors test (assuming he won't be joining the board. If Fuhrman takes Donald's shares, it gives him de facto control of Sunderland.

Of course people have a right to their view.

My view is Donald and co. are complete chancers who have treat the supporters with utter contempt on a number of occasions. It’s baffling that anyone can defend them or their performance since arriving.
