That may be the case but it is yet to be seen. If for example the club is bought by someone who has Sunderland's best interests at heart and with the backing of substantially more money then will you complain then? If it was Fulwell 73 would you moan?

No, the fanzines weren't speaking for me at the time either but they're not dickheads as so many are saying. The argument was well reasoned. The dickheads are the abusive fans.

We are where we are and I live in hope that we will get the right owner to be able help this great club progress.

Of course we would not complain indeed we would support, something the fans groups are not doing and I for one will never forgive them for it, I despise them.

You are supportive kipper and thats fine but the majority of fans are not. Can I prove that, no, I do however read a lot from fans and find the majority condemn what they have done.

Anyway better I take a few hours off, I am looking forward to the weekend and dont want it spoilt by a few to big for their boots fans group members.

No, but I think something good can come out of it nonetheless.

New takeover report outlines two-part payment offer from Stewart Donald to buy #SAFC - and says he hopes to have a deal in place by the end of this month

[size=50]Sunderland AFC takeover: New report claims this is the sale offer Stewart Donald is willing to accept for Black Cats[/size]

[size=30]A new report claims Stewart Donald would be willing to sell Sunderland for a ‘base level price’ of £35million - with the price rising to £40million should the Black Cats win promotion to the Championship.[/size]

Donald placed the club publicly up for sale in December and has since been working to find new owners.
A new report by Off the Pitch, a football business newsletter, claims: “Sunderland AFC’s owners will cut their asking price for the club by around £5m if the League One club fails to get promoted to the Championship this season.
“A source close to the club said that a base level price of £35m is being offered in order to try and agree terms with a buyer by the end of February.

“Earlier this week a value of at least £40m was reported as being sought by the club’s owners insurance entrepreneur Stewart Donald and his partners, but
Offthepitch.com can reveal this figure is based on promotion to the second tier this season.
"'It’s two prices they’re signing up to. They sign up to the idea of: We’ll pay this amount if the club is still in division one at the end of the season, but we’ll pay you X if the club gets promoted at the end of the season,' said the source."
The report claims US investors would be most likely.

Though it is unlikely to be the FPP group after they moved to dissolve FPP Sunderland.
FPP Sunderland was set to be the American trio Glenn Fuhrman, Robert Platek and John Phelan’s vehicle to purchase a shareholding in the club after they undertook extensive due diligence but a deal was not agreed.
Bloomberg have claimed the Sunderland hierarchy have been holding ‘serious discussions’ with at least two potential buyers.
Donald told Sunderland supporters in December he valued the club at between £30million and £50million - which finance experts have suggested is a reasonable valuation.
