It's no problem to me mate.

What's strange is that I've posted indisputable proof of the takeover yet some people latch onto an 'it's bad news' post with no background.

It's almost as if they're desperate for the takeover to fall through.

There seems to be a split between the people who want to believe and actually go to games and those who do neither.

Makes you wonder if those who have no one to go with, so sit at home and fester, are jealous of those of us who go to games, have a drink with mates and enjoy themselves.

Bit of a stretch. The Barnsley game was pretty even with them creating more openings than us in the early stages. We took our chances and for 15 minutes we took the piss. They then proceeded to batter us for the last 10 minutes or so of the first half and we unlucky to go in only 3-1 down.

We destroyed neebody at any stage in the Checkatrade final - our only real opportunity being the free kick.

Peterborough looked pretty ordinary for a team top of the league at the time but we certainly didn't destroy them.

Ok so maybe a re-word, my point being, we were able to up the tempo and play at a much better level which we should of been at every game, granted you have off games but to surrender like we did in most games, I remember being down at Oxford and for the whole second half everybody in the away end could see what was going to happen and it was pretty much like that for the season, barring a few flashes here and there.

The point I was trying to get across to the OP was that he hasn't changed since November last year, how is it going to change going forward, I personally cant see it, I would love him to prove me wrong.

Why? I've seen countless media outlets report there is a takeover including sky and the bbc. The local rags churn up shite on it on a daily basis. Following that what is there to report... there is a takeover occurring at sunderland involving these men, heres what we know. They've done that. Theres nothing to report now until it's done. Are you expecting Sky to have Jim White on doing a takeover countdown or the worlds media in the carpark. As exciting as it is for us, there's just simply not much to write about until it's done.

But that's not to say all parties (and employees) have been been under strict instruction to say nothing to anyone and the press have been informed no questions will be entertained on the subject.

Proper attention seeking behaviour. Probs does vlogs about Avon the weapon.

Cheers for all your updates been a very interesting few weeks and cannot wait to see what unfolds

For the decent people on here, this is the latest message I've received, last night, below in bold.

For the rest.

Please tell me how I could've invented a story, two weeks back, that an art dealer who supplies his friend Glenn Fuhrman had shown me a WhatsApp message, at his home, confirming he'd bought the club.
I posted that information, as fact, on the board. I also posted that the owners would be arriving for the 'Burton game' which subsequently happened. I said Donald would be flying up to meet them which was subsequently confirmed. Shouting 'liar' might carry some weight if any of you had proved me wrong or posted the slightest piece of contradictory evidence. But, in reality, you have nothing but feet stamping and toy throwing. It's obvious that some of you, for whatever sick reasons, are desperate for this takeover to fail. Either that or you get your kicks out of posting infantile drivel on a chat for. I won't be interrogated on here by a small bunch of bitter losers ... If anyone wants to call me a liar to my face I'm at your disposal.

“Things still going really well and hopefully an announcement next week but common sense tells you that both sides have been instructed by the lawyers to keep their mouths shut until it’s made official via an official media conference as the current silence from SAFC’s hierarchy is absolutely deafening.
Although Jack Ross refered to having talked to some of the new owners in his pre Accrington media conference today, it generally seems as if the whole club is in lockdown although they’re going to have to come above ground for Accrington on Saturday. It will be interesting to see how many media bods raise the takeover question in the lead up to the game and in the post match media conference with management and players, because it will be beyond belief if the subject does not get raised and would suggest that there is some sort of media embargo in place forbidding questions on the subject. It’s happening, it’s close”.

just like you I couldn't give a dam about those with negative.opinions formed from hearsay and chats in the cub/pub.
You can only tell people what you know and that is.much appreciated by most on this board. Thanks. 😃

I know we have to go back to something like page 1299, 15 hours and several hundred posts to look at one talking about me and my "dyspraxia" developmental disorder (it isn't a difficulty. That I think is the non-PC name now. Because I certainly haven't had any difficulty achieving certain life tasks like flying, getting a job and learning to drive. Although I have had to go about them in a different way and with less ease than most which is why I see them as more a set of 'barriers'), and how you all ought to treat me and these posts have largely been forgotten under all following posts. But I feel I need to reply with a rare one. Till I do reply this topic in the thread cannot be tied off.

In this case I don't feel we are talking about my "dyspraxia". I do feel we are perhaps talking about a personal weakness. The bet thing I think is more to do with the fact I perhaps am easily coerced. Easily influenced. Easily led. I am all to aware of the symptoms of Dyspraxia and this does not tally with any of those.

The feeling this deal may not be done may simply be the fact I am a very pessimistic person. I don't think that there is anything wrong with it. We all react differently to scenarios. When it comes to situations where things are not going well it just happened that I did not fall into the category of a person who is optimistic. No matter how bad the situation is or how long the situation hasn't been going well, such people still think something good will happen to turn it all around. I am not like that.

You explained yourself well there marra.
Hopefully you can realise you're a pessimist and that often that pessimism is unfounded though?

Partially disagree. We were the better team by a million miles in the first half of the checkatrade. We looked like a team from a couple of divisions higher. Generally, though, our games last season were even ones at best.

I think it's just 'internet culture' - nothing to do with SAFC.

Everyone's an expert. Everything's black or white. Conspiracies are the new facts.

Are you allowed out into the general public or should we be all concerned? Your attempt at banter or a laugh is lifting

That's true enough.

I think we struggle to create chances and I think we struggle defensively as a unit. Teams realised this and realised they could have a go at us. I don't think we surrendered - we just don't cope very well under pressure.

We don't create many chances because there's no rhyme nor rhythm to our play. Poor/static full backs not making (the right) runs, failing to overload on the flanks drawing out defenders, and when we do not looking after the ball well enough or using it quickly enough to capitalise on the space created, and worst of all an over reliance on Aiden McGeady to simply 'do something'.

We struggle defensively a lot of the time because of the above. Full backs in the wrong places, not looking after the ball leaving us susceptible on the break, and again an over reliance on Aiden McGeady who defensively, let's face it, isn't the most reliable player in the world. You can add Chris Maguire to that. George Honeyman was a major problem in this respect too. IF you're giving the ball away in the final third, your full back is in no man's land, your winger has given it away and is flat footed on the turn, your dozy twat of a captain is anywhere but where he should be, you're down to three defenders and at best two other midfielders, the opposition running at at you, and your shape is all wrong. You're going to have problems defending in that scenario.

He’s spent about 5 million quid man. Plus inheriting a team more than capable of getting out of that league. There’s been no improvement in the quality of football played, in fact I’d say over the last 13-14 months it’s got progressively worse. The same mistakes the team and himself were making this time last year are still present. Regardless of the funds or squad he had available a decent manager should be capable to addressing these problems, he’s clearly not.
Click to expand...
Whilst I agree with a lot of what you say, I disagree with the second statement. The team he inherited was not a team as nobody knew who was staying and only about 10 players turned up. At that point a lot of people were suggesting that we would struggle and if they had been offered play offs would have snatched hands off. However, I agree, it has not improved.

There's some of us that want to believe (and do) and want to go to games that can't for various reasons (mine being distance) as well marra.

If we did we still didn't create an awful lot marra. Reece James certainly didn't look like a higher division player.
