    ... is he on, an ego trip by the look of it.

    Sunderland: Journalist drops interesting ownership claim.

    Mennear has revealed what he and some fans have been told the club will do in the near future.


    He said: “Obviously, there are still minor shareholders in the club so yeah, obviously, they are involved. There’s going to be a level of involvement in that.

    “We’ve been told, fans have been told, that in terms of the day-to-day running of the club and long-term vision and things like that, that it’s very much Kyril Louis-Dreyfus’ gig.

    “The fact that they still have that link with the previous regime publicly, you know, being at games and things like that, doesn’t help [and] isn’t helping.”


    I've read it three times and still have no idea what his 'ownership claim' is and what 'involvement' Donald and Methven have.

    A whole article saying 'f**k all' and distracting from the football ...

    ... report on that instead of being Mr Clickbait.

    Trying to tap into the FEWM about Methven supposedly being in on the interviews but has no sources or actual intel

    No Richard. There is nothing obvious about that at all

    Semi-related. Someone today texted me and told me that Methven is supposedly posting on RTG, misspelling words and all sorts to make himself look inconspicuous.

    The guy mentioned a name which I won't in case I offend a real person.

    Surely this can't be true?

    It's either Methven or someone equally as sad.

    Kildare is his name and he doesn't deserve protection imo.

    Minority shareholders of football clubs aren't automatically involved in decisions at the club...

    ... there's a massive difference between shareholders and board members.

    And you can't issue banning orders, on shareholders, over a supporters grudge.

    End of non-story <doh>

    Maybe Methven has changed his allegiances and has actually became a fan, can't really knock him for his support. (Tin hat on for that one) lol. I know it's a long shot but it does happen look at the fat fook at the murderers

    I reckon minority shareholders have had a big say in the events of the last couple of weeks. KLD listens to Methven, who is heavily involved in plans to acquire a European club and a South American one for the consortium. I bet he turned young Kyril's head and encouraged him to go for Keane, chucking all the plans out the window.

    Basically nobody knows what’s going on outside those four walls but we have been told who is in charge and has the majority holding. But that doesn’t stop people making ****e up. Arseholes.

    My thoughts for what it's worth are that there are a number of people using that account. The style of the posts and tone changes far to often to be one person.
    Unless of course that person has multiple personalities :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    That's all very interesting but it's just guesswork right ...

    ... just.checking that you don't actually know anything.

    Agreed. I've been saying this for months but people are obsessed with the madrox lot, even ignoring the obviousness of the logic you have stated
