The only problem is that you then have no idea what people are talking about

I find myself constantly pressing 'show ignored content' like I've got the worlds worst advent calendar to reveal the latest drivel

it's funny that, I don't ignore anyone on this forum but I also don't reply to known trolls, as that is exactly what they need to continue.

The number of posters who complain about other posters yet reply to everything they post. You shouldn't need the ignore feature to have the self control to not click reply :p

Lots of people post it because it's true.

This is still all based on the Dortmund model - they have never deviated away from this - so don't think we won't sell players to the bigger fish as they are procured, improved and ultimately for sale. However, wastage and piss taking agents are a thing of the past. Each asset bought even now is being analysed on mental as much as physical attributes. All hail the overlords.

You said that people would be "gagging" for a pint..

TBF I'm normally gagging for a pint. My point is - if there was "quality" places round the SOL to have a beer afterwards I would sometimes (not always) have that pint there.
There could be some decent places to eat, maybe even a music venue.
I also get that there are no circumstances in which you could get some serial early leavers to change their behaviour - not even if you gave away free beer. I just think for those that use the excuse (valid or not) of avoiding the traffic, there might not be a traffic problem if the "leaving window" is 2 hours or so, not the 10 mins immediately after the whistle.
When we went to Feyenoord there were a good few thousand wandering about after the match with us, and then we went for the train back into Rotterdam and there were no queues.

So now we're back to the actual thread subject, 'Our impending world domination', I'll just summarise what I know as facts.
(Sorry if this sounds preposterous but it's all true as various posters would confirm.)

  • The buyer's accountants, massive firm I can't name, has taken the books apart and OK'd them - confirmed by my millionaire Italian friend who uses them
  • The deal has been totally agreed with all parties
  • The EFL is the last part of the jigsaw but it's being described to me as a formality - "Can you provide proof you have more money than Stewart Donald?"
  • A fella from a well known beer producing family has told me his mate, one of the 4 buyers, has described himself as 'Sunderland's new owner'
  • I'm seeing him on Sunday when he's promised to give me the whole story
  • Sadly/happily I think it may well be announced before then so I won't be able to 'get in first'
  • It's been described, to me, as a long term legacy project involving as many bodies as possible - no Mafia puns intended :lol:
