    Didn't Donald change his number so Barnes couldn't raise any follow up questions?

    Probably done a distance learning Actuary degree through the University of Kampala so hes qualified in minimising the risk to himself. I hear you can pick them up for $45 and you don't have to do any work whatsoever. So a similar commitment to when he picked up Sunderland from Short.

    Tom Sloanes and Dave Jones were appointed to the SAFC board in December 2019...(voice of the fans etc)

    Have they listened and acted on behalf of the fans..

    No messages no updates nothing.. is it time we questioned their existence and their worth?

    Disclaimer - I know Dave Jones heavily involved in recruitment..but what about the other sides of the business

    Go on smug lad, they have been warned. Mind I don't think I want to hear some of @Guinness Guzzler 's secrets being divulged, even if he hasn't said you can't.

    ...wondering what the 'watered down version' will consist of?

    more carrots to the EFL? (we already know most will grab any income they can) but will that affect the lowere leagues in the long run, i wonder, owners grabbing the cash boost and selling/legging it while they can show a clean set of figures.

    hard enough now to compete after promotion, a smaller premier league just means (imho) a bigger cash gap.

    IF a euro super league came about then it would need some handicaps to stop a monopoly and should such a league collapse (due to 'eating itself' through greed) then any teams from that league should have to prove themselves by starting from grass roots WITH the restrictions such teams are being forced to work with now (wage restrictions etc).

    Hello

    I have said previously it was ongoing and the thoughts were that it was absolutely going to happen. Will on both sides. Things changed which has obviously caused a big issue. Just hope that can be ironed out. If not, I won't be back as I know itl be the Safc side that's too blame.

    I said before, this is the last chance for me. If it doesn't happen this time, it will mean a disgustingly bleak future. It's rather incomprehensible TBH.

    There is no carrot worth the price. The big six already have an inordinate amount of influence, gorging more money from the game at every change. Them having free reign would be the death knell for the game for me.

    If their threat is to leave and form a super league, then let them, but leave the league they are in. I wouldn't watch it if it was on at the field round the corner. The Champions League is bad enough, but at least it is a technically open competition. A super league would not be and I doubt many would watch it long term, if hardly at all. Every club would suffer, but the big six would suffer badly too, and I'd guess far more than they think.

    It’s what we all expected from the fat ****. I am quite happy to participate in anything that rids this club of the hobbling inept ****er. He should be universally detested by Sunderland fans
