Facundo Ferreyra

“If someone said to me I am wealthy – OK, in theory I am a billionaire, even maybe a multi-billionaire – but in reality my wealth is all in Sports Direct shares that, as I said the other week, are the same as wallpaper. I don’t have that cash in the bank, so I don’t have that ability to write a cheque for £200m. I don’t have it, it’s very simple, it’s not there. I would have to sell the Sports Direct shares to fund that"

"Like a new signing" Granted I don't think he ever said that himself, but his yes man managers did.

I'm also in the "Martin Samuel is a fucking buzzkill cunt who has put doubt in my mind" camp. Prick.

Won't be criticising Ashley? What was this absolute embarrassment about then? God Steve Wraith is a thick cunt

Wanksplat is one of my favourite insults a real playground insult.

Last time Jinky Jim made an optimism thread, everything went batshit mental within 24 hours. Now that he's done it again, I can only imagine that tomorrow the takeover will be confirmed, Messi and Mbappe will be unveiled via live stream from St James', Ashley, Bruce and Charnley will be fired out of a cannon into the sun and Sunderland will go bankrupt. Don't let me down, Jinky.

This. And I hope he does. He'd just use a leaving message to tell the rest of the world how awful us horrible Geordies have been to him and how he always tried to do his best by the club.

Good point that. Moral is all relative therefore one can never say that something is evil or good. Every action, deed, process, activity can be seen as good or evil, it's all in the eye of the beholder. Therefore by your impeccable logic, we cannot ever criticize anyone or anything, lest we fall in to the morally superior stone-throwing position, which you have decried. I was suggesting there was a degree of hypocrisy in taking a morally superior position without looking carefully at a lot of things. I was not suggesting there is no such thing as right or wrong. As Kevin Spacey's K-Pax character said, "The whole Universe knows right from wrong". Shame Kevin Spacey didn't :lol:

Is anyone blaming fans? I thought we were discussing how happy or dubious we are to be owned by them. It’s essentially the same. I’d love for us to be taken over by a Geordie who made a global company and became a billionaire and can also invest in the city. It’s not going to happen though. Like I said, we are no longer in the position to question where investment comes from anymore. Barry Moat may come good one of these days....

My teetotalism is going to be put to the test if (when) this takeover is announced. The urge to smash down ten bottles of Buckfast and run up the street with no clothes on will be strong

It certainly looks that way. Only time will tell.

Was he Charlie's? Meeeeeeeeowww

Looking forward to the media making out that it's a disgrace how the new owners have treated him. Completely ignoring the manner in which he left Sheff United. And the fact that he's a shithouse dinosaur who isn't fit to manage in the Premier League in 2020

Am I really desperate enough for good news that I'll click on a Daily Mail link? Aye, I think I am.

No reason to doubt figures from somewhere. That's definitely the 5% deposit. Would that make the overall price of the club £260m? Lads, the £13m figure has been plucked out of thin air. I didn't read the post properly fucking hell

Think Jinky is actually Staveley, the sneaky sod. :lol: nice one Jinky Jim[/member] I may have created the thread but you came up with the thread title so I think Sheikhshearer deserves all of the credit...all hail Sheikhshearer Gonna have to change my username to SaudiShearer if this goes through seeing as the Sheikh didn't buy the club!

I can't take this like

Link doesn't work. What's section 3?

Lads..... this is finally happening isn't it. Well, until PIF fail the owners and directors test...

:lol:

Just someone who spends all day looking at planes, and social media accounts to try and find a link between anything which ‘proves’ the takeover is on. Hes not on level with this c*** though f***ing thick as f*** he is. That Greg Lake lad can fuck off too.
