I'd love to visit, it's meant to have some beautiful places, knowing me I'd end up doing something that got me sent to siberia
I'd like to visit as there are some lovely places over there but be a bit sketchy like.
If we drop 2 leagues under Donald's tenure, you can come back to me.
I wont hold my breath.
I was in St Petersburg in May. Some interesting buildings to visit, Palaces and Cathedrals

Sorry, derailing the thread again.
Guess it will be all quiet till Monday now.
Part of me really hopes this investement goes through and SD just puts a really simple statement out -
"SAFC are delighted to announce after an intense period of negotiation FPP have joined the shareholders and board.
For all the doom mongers and helmets that have accused us of being chancers, can I just confirm up yours and bollox"

Hope so mate if it was over they could have told us so something must still be on going.
Just wish it would bloody hurry up

Life is so cruel huh
When you are born and raised in a climate like the ne England one thing you miss ( if you spend a lot of time in eg tropical climate ) is cold weather. I sleep better when it's cold outside and I prefer winter cuisine ( soups, stews etc ) rather than salads. Nowt worse than going for a stroll to the newsagent and being eaten alive by flies and sweating cobs.

Anybody that defends Short needs to look at a few facts....
1. He employed a man (de fanti) to buy and sell club assets (players)...a job he had never done before
2. He oversaw Sunderland amassing 31 points (i think) less than any other of the 92 football league teams in the last 10 years
3. He oversaw a new football league record of going the longest time without a home league victory (364 days I think)
4. He oversaw the lowest point in the clubs history bar none of putting us in league 1.
5. He put us in somewhere of the region of 160 million pounds worth of debt.
6. He employed David Moyes
I reckon I could think up of a few more points to make on him but apart from what my username says (which I am very thankful for btw) the man should never have been allowed anywhere near our club

The decline happened on his watch , still can’t believe how such a successful businessman could not see or understand what was happening. The whole episode cost him a fortune when it dawned him how neglectful he had been, his kindness saw him leave the club debt free but our status badly diminished .
Still find it hard to use him as the scapegoat when he poured millions in before and after we crashed maybe other people should stand up and take the blame?

I'm relaxed about it, as long as we get promoted this year and have investment in place for the championship that's all that really matters.
Of course I would love them to takeover fully, go through the club and turn us into a major force, but not at the risk of them getting bored and leaving us in a mess.
If it has to be slow but steady progress, so be it
How else can he be photographed in watches valued at six times his annual salary?
Maybe, he'll claim to have bought them on 'tick'.

If that happens it will really make my day! Moet in the fridge,ready to party!
As long as we progress I'll be happy obviously be nice to be super rich but I'd just be happy with a canny team to cheer on that graft.

I've seen some posts elsewhere saying there is no plan.
Talking to investors now that hopefully are on board when the season ends in 7 months is in my opinion a plan but some refuse to see it.
Even if they signed up on Monday there isn't much on the playing side they could do.
The biggest thing now is not who, when or how people takeover or invest but who is the new manager
