Quinn Confirms Takeover Interest

Last updated : 20 April 2006 By Sam
The former Sunderland centre-forward has confirmed that he is trying to put together a consortium to buy out the Black Cats.

"I don't know how much they are going to look for," says a quote from Quinn in the Independent newspaper.

"But my worries now would not be financial at this stage unless Sunderland go mad.

"It is not about putting money on the table and making an offer for a football club.

"We have to prove to ourselves before we go near any fans or any club, we are capable of running a football club.

"It is a jungle, as I have found out in the last three weeks.

"It is not a simple thing at all and that is what I am in the middle of - making sure myself and my group are capable of doing a job this club deserves.

"Until we get to the bottom of that we cannot possibly approach Sunderland.

"We want to be ready for Sunderland so every question they ask we can answer them dynamically about what is going to happen."
