Trumps America - lying chancer I would guess.The Sun I know. But if this is true it is not good news.
@SunSunderland: US hedge-funder Matthew Pauls claiming millions from Sunderland owners after alleging club was ‘stolen’ from him Pauls claiming millions from Sunderland owners after club was 'stolen' from him
Shame he doesn’t have a mate on the board at the EFL so he can get around the proof of funds.“Following discussions in the late summer, Matthew Pauls submitted an acceptable bid for the acquisition of Sunderland AFC, as have several other bidders before and since.
“He was subsequently advised that Proof of Funds would be the necessary next step before the bid was submitted to the EFL.
“For two months, that Proof of Funds document was not forthcoming, despite numerous requests.
“In the absence of that, but having promised to sell the club, the Board decided to proceed with another option, at a lower valuation but with strong proof of funds.
“Eventually, in mid-December Matthew Pauls sent a Proof of Funds document insufficient to cover the agreed purchase price, let alone the amount required by the EFL to fund the club going forward.
“The funds were also in the name not of Mr Pauls but of an unknown third party individual.
“At that point - despite the original offer theoretically being an attractive one for the vendors - it would have been irresponsible with regards to the club to persist in discussions with Mr Pauls when there was a solid, transparent, well-financed option on the table."

Never heard of him but if he's gone straight to suing SAFC it doesn't sound like he ever had SAFC's best interests at heart. Sounds like a chancer, looks like a wanker. Already hate him.
The advisory group have already said they might look at vaccinating workforces that can not work from home such as police, teachers, supermarkets. Footballers can come in to that category presumably
Would you change your view if the premier league transparently guaranteed to spend the same money they currently spend on testing on other charity / the NHS instread? Have Sean Dyche photographed in Burnley hospital with a cheque for £200lk? (I have no idea what the actual amount would be).The premier League and clubs are paying for testing not the NHS, if they were fast tracked, I doubt they'd give nothing to the NHS anyway.
On top of that, the behaviour of premier League players during the Pandemic has been shameful so they deserve to be last in the queue.
You could argue they are providing light relief and entertainment to a lot of people. Should they stop making television too?Footballers are not performing a public service though are they. They are kicking a ball around. Postpone all football until this is under control
Stop 'wasting' money on testing is the whole crux of his argument which a lot of people are missing, whether you agree with him or notWhat difference would it make? They're not getting properly ill with it anyway. The vaccination doesn't stop folk getting it, just stops them getting as ill.
The point is to stop spending money on tests and give that money to a more worth while cause.in reality footballers are probably working in the safest jobs going at the moment. I really can't see the point![]()
Wee’s this fella like? Never heard of him.
Why would it? He’s still our part owner. Just brings up more concerns.I would suggest he dries his eyes. However it would be hilarious if he took SD to the cleaners
