I’d get rid. On the assumption that he signed off on the summer’s business then I don’t want him anyway involved in January. Him staying on is also likely to mean less game time in League games for the likes of Diamond, Neil, Embleton and Kimpioka when he’s fit again. Some of these lads could be the difference to us this season, some may be out of contract in the summer and be free to get their future sorted in January and will be less inclined to commit to us if they can’t get game time ahead of the likes of Graham, Grigg, AOB, Dobson and Power.
There’s a number of them over there man, taking the same approach. I’m having a pop at one or two to see if they have the balls to hold up their hands and admit they were wrong. No takers so far,,,, no surprise there!
I get the impression this was what Don was like, kid in a sweet shop mentality. Additionally he was only here to flip and cash in whereas I think our new seriously minted overlords will have a totally different approach and see us as a long term project that has making us an established Premier level club, not just the team, as the end goal.
Makes me wonder if there is any money left in the world for any other club! They are ridiculous sums of cash!
He never got over SD clipping his ear over Twitter. I hope from now on he can separate SD and SAFC, they are quite different things now Stew’s a minor shareholder.
The Times article posted over the road is interesting. Talks about still some hurdles to overcome yet and other interested parties. Suppose its no surprise but helpful in reminding us its not done yet
"The potential sale of Sunderland appeared to move a step closer yesterday, with Stewart Donald, the owner, believed to have reached an agreement to sell 60 per cent of the club for £22 million to a consortium headed by Kyril Louis-Dreyfus and Juan Sartori. The Times understands that there is still some way before a deal is concluded, however, with due diligence not yet completed by the interested party and any deal needing the ratification of FPP (the company set up by the American investors Glenn Fuhrman, Robert Platek and John Phelan), which loaned the club £10 million 12 months ago. Louis-Dreyfus, 22, is the son of the former Marseilles owner Robert, who died in 2009, and Sartori already owns a fifth of Sunderland. Sunderland officials cancelled a meeting with the Red and White Army supporters group on Thursday. Under the suggested agreement with the preferred bidder Donald would retain a 15 per cent shareholding in the club, while Charlie Methven would also keep the 5 per cent that he currently owns. At present Sartori has a 20 per cent stake. That in part has led to a low-key reaction among supporters to the potential change in ownership. It is believed Donald has spent about £10 million of his own money since buying the club from Ellis Short in 2018. It was thought Donald had agreed to buy the club for £39.6 million but it later emerged he had financed the purchase using broadcast income paid to clubs relegated from the Premier League. The club’s draft accounts showed that a debt of £20.5 million had in fact been written off as an “exceptional operating expense”. It was also revealed that Sartori had paid only £1 for his 20 per cent share in Madrox Ltd, the holding company that owns Sunderland Football Club. It had been reported at the time that he had paid £3 million. The preferred consortium bidding for control now, with Louis-Dreyfus at its head, is believed to have offered its proposal to Donald at the end of October. The group is hoping to move towards completion by December, but there are major hurdles to be cleared before then with other parties still interested in buying the club."
Abit behind that I believe a few things might of got abit of ink on and thats why it might of got leaked
I’d never have thought he was all those people, but he just had to say it didn’t he, along with several thousand other words
not too sure i like the idea of the three amigos still at the club, will Kyril get rid of them before we get back to where we were i hope so, not happy with the money grabbing ****s hanging on to his shirt tails
Only effects players upto certain age....buy load of kids from all over the world with dodgy passports & were sorted
The last message I got, was the next big thing to sort is the announcement, That’s was Thursday I believe I go that
Can anyone clarify a point for me? Several articles mention a consortium of JS and KLD having 60%.of the shares This would leave 20% unaccounted for Or have I just read that wrong
