Takeover Rumours

I understand the excitement and clamour to have it all announced.. But I don't understand the hysteria of " you said this" "he said that" the only people that know truly what is going on and when.. is the people involved in the deal.
Some of the supposed ITK will be getting snippets and then the hysteria on here takes over and blows everything out of proportion.
I've said before we just need to be patient it will be announced when everyone involved is happy everything is in place to do so.

No one has said otherwise. The one person who has posted info all along has said so almost every time he's posted something.
 
I was talking to a knowledgeable Sunderland supporter yesterday. He looks on RTG occasionally - isnt ITK - and talked some common sense.

His point was that the Dell boys are very busy people and of course it makes sense for a couple of them being across here for a week or two working with Mr Donald and Mr Methven to iron the fine details out out before there is an official press conference.

It made me chill a bit but still cant wait till it hopefully becomes official.

The one person who has posted genuine info has stated every time he knows next to nowt and let's on what he can.
 
Do you honestly think he's making it all up like? Ha'way, you know as well as I do that when you've been on here for a while you get a feel for which posters you can likely trust and which you can't. Reiver has been on here ages and, as far as I can remember, he's never claimed to be ITK about anything. If he was a bullshitter you'd think he'd have been unable to resist doing it before, he'd have been all over the last takeover for example.

Equally you can get an idea of his character; he's the type who goes out of his way to help fans get tickets (once when I had a spare ticket for a game he was making sure someone could collect it etc just so he could help out a fan that he didn't even know) as a result he's fairly well known to the point where quite a few on here will have met him. I generally find pretendy ITKs are more self centered.and attention seeking. Personally I don't think there's any way that a bloke who goes out of his way to help fellow fans would also randomly wind them up about something as potentially massive as this. That's why most believe him, obviously you're welcome to be sceptical but do you need to keep repeatedly probing it? Just ignore his posts man, if it comes out that he was just having us all on we'll all remember that you were one of the clever ones who tried to warn us
I too had a spare ticket once to an away I wasn't able to attend. It was handed over to Reiver by my lads for someone else to benefit. My lads then enjoyed his company over a few beers. He's a genuine good guy; I'd like to think I'd instilled a good sense of judge of character in my own lads.

I said earlier in thread I don’t think he’s an out and out liar but certainly an embellisher and exaggerator which is why I can’t totally buy into what he’s saying.

For example I find it difficult to fully believe a bloke who moves in these ‘circles’ whoukd go offering a bloke with his kids out for a fight because he’s wearing a Newcastle shirt.

I know he helps people with tickets and is known to a lot of people on here but he comes across way too erratic to fully buy into on something as big as this’s
 
ALS saying the spending won’t be on the playing side but the infrastructure and management side.

I'm totally chilled. It's quite clear it's gone beyond them pulling out.
 
ALS GUESSING the spending won’t be on the playing side but the infrastructure and management side.

 
Anyone think it could be sorted today? Monday's aren't great and a bit of news like that would be a positive start to the week.

Don't know him, but, read a few times on here that a poster has met him and speaks well of him.

I'm jelous cause I'm an insufferable arsehole
