I wouldn't have said so mind;

You must be logged on to see external links

"After all, Short is a multi-billionaire and in the early days he pumped money into the club but it was frittered away and it was on his watch that the club suffered back-to-back relegations.

We do not yet know the extent of the new owners' ambitions for the club, nor how much they are prepared to invest.

The transfer window is closed until the New Year, so any investment in the squad cannot take place until mid-season at the earliest.

And any investment they make must fit within the constraints of the EFL's Financial Fair Play, and Salary Cost Management Protocols.

It may be that their impact will only be fully felt should Sunderland win promotion to the Championship.'

And

"The only note of caution is that too much will be expected too soon.

The path back to the Premier League involves a long ladder and a lot of climbing – there are no express lifts linking League One and the Promised Land."

Although the quality of the Chronicle has drastically gone downhill, it used to be ok years ago I see nothing in that article to get offended about.

:lol:
I know a woman is not a 'Guy' so collectively they cannot be referred to as 'Guys'. That's where the Yanks and the internet generation get this important technical detail wrong. The word 'Guy' is used to refer to the sex of a person who has a wanger, women don't have wangers so cannot be classed as guys in the plural form!!

I think the soundbites from the fanzines have been prompted by the club so people remain calm

"As regards the takeover whilst there is still no news, still nothing confirmed, now BBC Newcastle understands that.... I mean we were thinking early this week, we're now thinking probably towards the end of this week, or, if not beyond....... from what I can gather there is nothing to be concerned about for Sunderland supporters, it's just taking a while."

Whether they're getting genuine info or just making things up, who knows? :)

Not convinced they know for sure what’s going on. Same goes for all sources, well apart from @Reiver of course.

The echo are literally guessing it’ll be this week, I’m still convinced it’ll be Wednesday or Thursday.

I find it irksome & tedious, but not offensive. I may be compelled to reevaluate my hatred of Americanisms in the light of pending developments....
