Every Chees & Onion flavoured crisp like object gets left in our house for me to finish off (otherwise their would be a mountain of them lying around)

Woken up and decided I cba to keep up anymore personally... I'm just going to support the team every week and then be slightly surprised when we occasionally play a home game in Burton or Budapest or wherever but I've had enough of all this exhausting nonsense for now I think ⚽️

We could go for a Picnic, especially if we start to get the Munchies. Maybe hop on a bus there on a Double Decker. Not too close to a dogging site though, otherwise we might get to see a Whole Nut.

If I get in all the chocolate bars except one for the Picnic basket, you can be left with the other one to get and then you can be the Fudge packer.

When we get there we can then just lie back and stare at the Milky Way, on the off chance we get to see a Starburst, or even Mars.

We may have to Wispa though, so as not to disturb anyone and maybe if I get lucky, you could show me your Curly Wurlys and give me a Chocolate Finger. Some people are so prudish though, so keep an eye out for the Snowflakes.

Best of all, if we are really bold, maybe we can be Heroes, just for one day.

Then it's off to the zoo to see a Penguin.

For what its worth a good friend who is a director of a League 2 team told me recently that it is not uncommon particularly in the lower leagues for owners to tell the manager to ensure the club is not promoted. Top at Xmas followed by bad run....
Click to expand...

Sorry Gibbo, have to totally disagree on this point! Having worked and currently working with a number of lower league clubs - with contacts at board level - some of who are also good friends, I've never heard this once. I guess there could be a case of 'well they wouldn't tell you that' but I've not heard that from one club - quite the opposite. Yes costs etc go up but so does revenue - all clubs (from my experience of working closely with them), all want to get promoted.

Not doubting what your friend told you but I definitely don't think it's common for lower league club owners to tell the teams to ease off in the NY to miss out on promotion.

The two actual pieces in print I've read say it's Frasers business vehicle that appears linked .
So obviously part of their property portfolio with facilitating the various group operations. Likely to get others in to carry out the functions?
So not an acquisition from private wealth but we're led to believe a business sweetener/inducement for other aspirations, should they really exist.

Best for quality of life and keeping sane, IMO.

Whilst in the main I agree you have to say in our darkest hours dropping from the championship to division four our chairman Tim Fisher and his at the time sidekick Steve Waggott did little to prevent our demise and it has been said may have welcomed it.

Pretty much where I am.
Can't pretend I understand all the going on and even if I had the grasp that some on here appear to have its not going to make any difference to how long this takes to resolve itself.
Just hoping we're in a better position when it's all over.

The crazy story of prospective Sunderland owner William Storey

A mathematician who once had a pet cheetah, a professional gambler, a farmer in Zimbabwe and co-founder of an energy drinks company, now William Storey wants to buy Sunderland.
www.dailymail.co.uk

He’s good at Keepy Uppy. He couldn’t buy Sunderland on that basis alone.

Yeah completely agree

I'm genuinely surprised and impressed that so many people seem to be able to get their heads around admin and contract law enough to interpret it (accurately or not) but I don't have a fucking clue and each minute on this thread probably takes an hour off my life expectancy

Like you say it makes noooooo difference anyway

William Storey's most remarkable tirades and fantasies

After a year and a half of absence, Rich Energy's Williams Storey apparently can no longer bear not being in the spotlight. He says he will announce the return of the brand in Formula 1 on Valentine's Day. How serious that is, remains to be seen, but it will likely yield some tasty tweets again.

Touché
I‘m just saying if MA gets the arena SISU’s position here becomes pointless, there’s nothing left for them to aim for, in the past they’ve (however unlikely) always had a ‘pot of gold‘ at the end of a rainbow to chase after.
Years of court action, games of brinkmanship, Judicial review, 3x ground shares, watching the arena sold from under them ‘but always knowing that the arena owners financial model was always destined to fail.

If MA seals the deal for the arena, in all seriousness what have they left to aim for.
Their investors will want news/details of any potential future windfall in order ‘to warrant them sticking around’ in the past they have always been able to provide that……..I really don’t think they can if this deal goes through.

Apparently a fantasist.

Got Haas racing team to advertise his seemingly non-existent energy drink.

Ignore. Move on.
