Dare I suggest some sort of board statement now might be a good idea, rather than the current chinese whispers that we seem to be having?
Perhaps he can't say too much about the PDC issue for legal reasons but it would be nice to have clarification.

Although in saying that, last time we had one, they got ripped to bits because of this 1957 debt thing, so perhaps they are wary?

There doesn't seem to be one credible, successful, reliable businessman amongst the lot of them, and they just keep adding to their number. I don't like the sound of all this.

I wish I could disagree! |

Agree, to say I'm worried would be an understatement! |

Think you need to understand the psychology of the businessman/chancer. Think for them, the important thing is to have numerous deals going on...most of them will fail, but some might succeed. The laws are stacked up in your favour, so you can generally avoid personal liability, when it goes tits up. Always on the edge when it comes to paying tax and respecting employment laws. Think the reason why SSW, used Diamandis, was because he realised that football was a murky world, and you needed somebody versed in the dark arts to operate in it. Jed is hinting that Power will be this man for us...the previous regime eventually used Spencer. |

Don't think he said anything about Power pulling away.
Can't see the contradiction myself.
You don't think there's an implication there in Jed trailing those two sentences one after the other: naming Power as one of the background investors, then saying some of the background investors were pulling away due to concerns about Di Canio but Power was now willing to come forward? Considering the context in which he has finally come forward (soon after Di Canio takes the Sunderland job), and with what we've been told about the embargo saga supposedly stalling on the concerns of some background investors about putting money in with the threat of Di Canio suing hanging over the club? Maybe I am just reading too much into it. But if he and his entourage do want to sue I don't understand what's taking them so long. |

Sam: Seen bit of confusion regarding Lee Power this morning - he's not yet passed fit and proper person's test and is not yet on the board https://twitter.com/SamMorshead_SA/status/324464270807015424 |

Not sure this is what we had in mind on that sunny spring day 6 years ago.

Of course, not having a club at all is a much better scenario.
I will see what they do in the close season before judging them.
The problem with the 'wait and see' scenario is it will probably be too late by then we would have been sucked dry. I realise there is fuck all any of us can do anyway - apart from prepare for it |

He can allegedly spill it all to tans in the pub though? |

@aeg1955 original board members all currently remain. Believe Hall is no longer associated with club  |

Well this is a bit left field, even by our standards. Reminiscent of Dunwoody Sports Marketing. Looks like Duke's thing isn't happening then...  Hoping this is not the takeover / selling "bit" referred to. Not exactly mind blowing or reasons to be confident, quite the opposite. Try and get more.......(w'kend). |
