Because they don't? Due diligence alone takes weeks. Replying to this and the others above. I mean the first public announcement of Takeover rather than the actual full process of takeover. Ask yourself why NUFC under Ashley dont seem to have the ability to stall the information leak until its almost complete as almost every other FC seem to have done in recent history. The leak came from the buyer, just as it did Staveley, the one they fucked up on was Kenyon and he jumped the gun massively with that interview. Staveley may still be involved with this one for all we know, which would mirror why the buyer is so talkative. The club and Ashley whether you like them or not have handled this one professionally enough. They called Staveley out after it was dragging in to our window and no real bid materialised, but it was her leaks to the press which alerted everyone of their interest, he just called time. I'm still optimistic on this one, confirmed their statement is the right way to go about it, it's now in their court to back it all up. If thry don't expect another Staveley type statement in a few weeks calling them out. Let's hope it doesn't impact on Rafa negotiations just like Staveley impacted our winter window.

The problem wasn't sacking Houghton, it was replacing him with Pardew. Pretty much sums up barca situation for me.

Some do, some don't. Ashley was out of the blue, Southampton went on for 6 months, arsenal battle has been going on years and glaziers for manu took ages as well. I think the hard bit is agreeing the fee, then there's the little niggles in our case it'll be around sd advertising, club shop and any other cancerous claws he has in to our club. Even a house sale takes 6 weeks with a willing seller and buyer. Legal teams have to look like they are doing something important for their %.

They don't have clue man, not seen one journalist come up with any solid facts not one. They are still using the Liverpool proof of funds which is a load of s****. All we can go off is that the group have confirmed they have agreed a deal and that statement was said to be true by by the club sources. They have all been left behind by a Sun journalist who has left them with egg of their faces. Yup. Even the ones so many on here desperately fawn over have fuck all to say but keep talking like thry know something. The sun guy has shown the lot of them up.

The local and national journalists know fuck all. Might as well stick any of their updates in the brain dead twitter thread and just hold your horses for an official update from the club, that's now the only source that matters.

The Liverpool owners didn't want to sell. They can suggest this lot were time wasters but the same can be leveled at them. Same as getting an estate agent round to value your house just to know how much its worth but having no plans to sell.

All as bad as each other.

Same bloke along with his other north east cronies who didn't having a f***ing clue about this happening in their own backyard, then panicked and tried to pour cold water on it before having to turn full circle after the statement came out. f*** them we have some of the worst journalists in the country reporting on us especially at the Chronicle. Aye. The lot of them are fucking useless. They backed their horses and it didn’t come through. Shown up by a Sun journo. What horses did they back exactly? Like literally everyone else, they verifyed with there sources after the Sun article came out, no-one had a clue until that Sun article hit. Also Douglas isn't exactly saying anything outrageous. Staveley. Since then they dismissed everything and laid the blame at Ashley’s door when no reasonable offer was ever made, but they bought the bullshit and had a source so it must have been true. They were to blame more than Ashley for the staveley fiasco. The sun guy actually had a source who was genuine, but they didn’t have it so fucked it off as much as they could until they couldn’t anymore and decided to jump on board. Now since they can pour cold water on the story they decide to go on a witch hunt on the buyers character before he’s even set foot through the door. Shame they didn’t do that with their own story.

25 premier league standard players to choose from would be enough for me. Back that up with a decent academy and the future takes care of itself.

The last 30 hours or so seems to have pushed them well over the edge. Glorious reading on rtg. So fucking salty.

Stupid Scottish ball bag.

Heard everyone gets a clean slate, no matter what opinions they may have expressed in the past. You wish. Pardew lover.

Wonder if this takeover is why we’ve had some weird names linked. Joelinton, £44m, a £25m fullback, there might actually be some substance. Guess the plan for Rafa is the same, just instead of looking at 5th and 6th on the list he’ll be chasing his top targets with real intent.

With the greatest respect - Fuck off, man.

Terrible. They want Klopp.

Shit just got real.

Sitting in a hotel room with the shit test Internet and know I'm gonna get gif'd to death. If the forums holds up. Need Dave to hoy 50p in the meter.

It's actually happening lads. Bit teary., ffs.

Ryder knows fuck all. He’s just pouring cold water on it as he’s nowt better to do. He’s lost the exclusive edge so heading his bets on it not coming off so he can act like he knew something.

So glad I didn’t see this last night. Even this morning till about 20mins who I’ve been reading reactions to yesterday’s game and chuckling away, heart dropped when I saw this thread title. Hope it’s true. Reserved until we know more but it would be a great start to the summer. About time our luck turned.

His next tweet is dynamite.

The moment it happened... https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/safc-v-charlton-final-thread.1474746/page-77

Back where they belong.

Someone should sign up as a Sunderland Fan in peace.
