    You know the 5 minutes it took you to write that in plain English that is easy to understand and a very sensible summary of the real situation.

    That's 5 minutes of your life your never getting back :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    A few please. I've managed to recruit some non football fans in my office in Manchester to join in after telling them weeks ago we were going to be the 3rd richest club in England. To be fair they didn't give a **** but love a good protest.

    Why? Just because they are loaded doesnt mean other lesser loaded people offer better terms, better opportunity, more money.

    I think you'll find that donald has severely trimmed the overheads pertaining to the 8-10 times figure you alluded to. He bangs on about it often enough
    We will have to agree to disagree on our assessments.

    He has trimmed them, I’m not disputing that.

    He openly said we were ‘not quite breaking even’. He outright said that.

    Then we lose £40-50 million?

    Tell me mate, what’s filling that black hole? We need to be aware of this, it’s reality.

    Mate, it has been said so many times and confirmed by the club.

    This financial year we should all being well break even IF you include the last Parachute payments.

    Owners literally said that word for word. We are on the line WITH the above, kit deal and sponsors.

    Black and white, horses mouth.

    Surely the interview CM gave to Luke Edwards must have taken place yesterday, at the latest.

    An official club statement could still be forthcoming today.

    They'll still be buying shares in Sunderland and that is the vehicle that will acquire the shares, rather than the individuals.
    That company is owned by the American corporation.

    yeah but that is not what , speedy and prehabs and the rest are saying , they have said Donald has ballsed up the american deal and were now scrapping around for other investors speedy said the ones were currently talking to is nowhere near what we need .
    We all hope smug is correct , and weather these other posters like Stewart or not it is irrelevant
