Just been to the gym on a ‘bootcamp’ class, working outside. Instructor caught me looking at the sky and asked me what I was looking at.
It was a plane - I was looking at it and wondering if that was the one we are all looking for. I live in the midlands - of course it wasn’t - what has this thread done to me!
I took a photo of a plane at work last week in an area with loads of overlooking windows. Wonder who saw me

They did another one earlier as well
'THE INSIDE SCOOP ON SUNDERLAND'S SUMMER TRANSFER TARGETS'
clicked the link
'Cadden - Sunderland were linked but signed for someone else'
'Bonne - Sunderland were linked but signed for someone else'
Then repeated for about another 10 players. Absolute farce.

Bloody ridiculous, wouldn't be so bad if their page wasn't such a visual mess, takes a few seconds to work out how to use it.

Would be disappointed with that if true tbh. Would like to think they could at least be arsed to go to the first press conference!The only thing I've been told, all day, is that we may all be barking up the wrong tree .... bollocks and double bollocks!
Some, me included, assumed the progress/deal/announcement is dependent on the arrival of the Dell boys, hence all the plane spotting malarkey in which I've participated.
That's all exciting but may be pointless
Apparently they have people in the UK, who will handle whatever occurs in the next week or so. I'm sure there are people imagining these billionaires sitting around nervously playing Kerplunk while they wait for white smoke coming out of the EFL chimney. But there's a suggestion that they've done what they needed to do, signed the cheque and gone home to make loads more money for our January war chest.
Their 'people' will tie up the loose ends and allow Donald & Methven to handle the media conference, etc.
Now my wild unsubstantiated guesses based on other bits & bobs I've been told previously.
If, as was suggested, the Dell boys are only popping in for games they'll either have to rely on Stew & Chas or appoint an 'ambassador' to represent their interests. If that''s the case it could be a video message from the lads and a slick presentation from the ambassador/overlord/boss with the current owners smiling and nodding. Could this be the delay with a dispute over what front is presented?
Could a new DOF/manager/whatever be introduced? There's certainly a lot of teasers coming out via RR/ALS/BBC etc which may just be stalling tactics.
I've no idea tbh, I've been thrown so many curve balls I'm struggle to juggle them all.

Think so.
Dont think they need to be there in person...just need to know deal is done and everyone can move on behind the scenes. Mr Donald and Mr Methven are still the front anyway.
