@LBarks72 Just waiting for the Quinny takeover rumours to be quashed to start another week of doom and gloom #safc

@RichHammond_Fan Please be true about Quinny. #safc #discopants #saviour.

@liambailey123 Hope it’s true about quinny but I just can’t see it happening #SAFC

@JohnC2063 Once but not twice? Surely Niall Quinn can't be riding back on his white horse to revive Sunderland for a second time? Wonder if there is an element of regret he helped to sell the club to Ellis Short. Real Roy of the Rovers story if true. #SaintNiall #safc

@Dan1879_SAFC I'm not convinced at all by the source but... PLEASE BE TRUE, PLEASE BE TRUE, PLEASE BE TRUE, PLEASE BE TRUE!!! #SAFC #SHORTOUT

@Reece_Benson I’m not going to let myself believe that this Quinn story could even be remotely true because I’d be crushed if it was quashed in the near future and I can’t put myself through that #SAFC

@Parkersafc I loved the Sund-Ireland era. Seeing Dublin turned into a sea of red and white on the pre season tour was incredible #safc

@PawleySteven Just like transfer rumours not going to believe any takeover rumours until i see the scarf above head picture at the AOL #HawayTheLads #Safc
