    This was prior to his role at Spurs. TD is a top top bloke who is SAFC through and through.

    Not fox news, don't watch TV, don't have time. (also that's a really cliche thing some britbong would say about American politics) I would watch Anna news but most is in Russian/Ukrainian. Regardless, the sources are there. Bullet points are from an official gov website.

    Again. Facts. Unlike the spiel of kittens the PI of football finances and morality.

    It seems to me that somebody is actually orchestrating an anti SAFC agenda.

    Whether that is (as rumoured) someone associated with a consortium that failed in an attempt to buy the club from Short and can see any ambitions in that regard disappearing in a puff of smoke, if FPP come on board, I have no idea but it sounds the most plausible.

    I think the club just needs to get to the bottom of it, establish who is responsible and find out if the 'revelations' are the result of a reverse PR campaign, with individuals being paid to get them into the public domain, or if they are just being given to gullible, attention seeking idiots in the knowledge they will, very quickly, post them all over social media.

    Either way, they can be stopped and whoever is responsible for producing them/conducting it named/shamed and then held to account in the courts, for any personal or company losses.

    Actions always have consequences.

    Dont blame you for being apprehensive
    TBH I feel there isnt a multi millionnaire/billionnaire in the world that you could trust even with their own kids piggy bank.
    Greed and duplicity are in their dna.
    Keep that in mind and you wont be overly disappointed.
    Cynical I acknowledge but that is the way of the world.

    There may be something in what you say but I feel it is more a discrediting of the current regime as opposed to the club.
    It is saddening but if at the end we have a CEO who doesnt live for seeing his pic in the media and hearing his own voice at beer and BS meeting in local pubs then maybe we move on.
    The past 2 months or so we have witnessed more tremendous upheaval. It has to stop and we need to concentrate solely on football.
    I wasnt happy with the new manager appt but maybe he can work some magic and get us out of this dog5hit division and restore a bit of pride. God knows we need it.
    I believe donald has become unstuck and reaping what he has sowed. He needs to keep his gob shut and get on with the work he has been good at..cutting costs and getting shot of deadwood. The other stuff ( painting seats and social media platitudes are little more than flim flam.

    I see them as being totally interlinked in the current situation and context of the disinformation.

    Also, why do you keep saying he 'painted seats' when he replaced them with new ones?

    Chris the accountant? Has similar negative views of SD on Twitter and KM on here.

    I've been out so I'm catching up half pissed/asleep and I've probably lost the plot over the last 10 pages!

    So am I right summarising that at worst, SOL is to become the Energy Checker Stadium on a bad deal, no Netflix series 2 because of the Grigg debacle, and we've pissed off Ainsworth (definitely lose today then!) and shown Parkinson that we're a bit amateurish?

    But the investment is still on?

    Ok painting/replacing a few plastic seats.
    Pardon me if I regard that as a fairly token gesture and not to mention he used volunteer labour..
    Yes it was needed, no it was hardly a pressing issue. It resonated with some. It was cheap effective ( while it lasted ) or

    No doubt that supplying beers/burgers to the volunteers must have worked out cheaper than contracted labour (whilst allowing them to 'reconnect' with the club) BUT it addressed an issue that needed to be (even though you think it wasn't 'pressing', I would disagree - being able to have pride in the SOL I don't regard as unimportant) and so I don't believe the new seats should be sneered at nor the supporter's efforts in installing them dismissed out of hand.

    Even now, you refer to the seats as having been painted/replaced?

    Why?

    They'd find a way to whinge about the way we won the Champions League final Hank ...

    ... they'll pull this deal to pieces like dogs on a rabbit.

    15 minutes and they're already arguing and bitching ...

    "I cant take anymore of this absolute shyte."

    "A deal which will see a group of American businessmen invest in Sunderland AFC is on the brink of being completed."
