It’s sad mate, KLD has the richest mother in the world a step dad who Runs a company with investment worth 7trillion A family company that’s is 45% owned by a wealth found worth 800b But Donald and cm from Oxford are going to be calling the shots
Sartori hasn’t done anything so far to convince me he’s interested. KLD is an unknown entity, that’s the element of wait and see for me.
Just to clear last few posts up for people confused, I’ll draw one of my entity ownership things I have to do for work (I work in M&A for a big 4) note - this simplifies things as I believe the individual shareholdings are actually by separate companies that the individuals hold 100% ownership of. Sunderland AFC V 100% owned by Madrox V 80% owned by Newco c15% owned by S Donald c5% owned by Methven Newco v 50% owned by Sartori 50% owned by KLD
Was it not sartori that got kld involved, if he has it’s more involvement than any of the two ****as have done in two years
After the last three and a half years in particular I find that hard to do. Might have felt better with a full takeover and clean start
Well I don't think this will go down too well but I don't agree, we should build a team of young players who are capable of making the step up to the championship and the premier League and any player over 25 should be let go. Alternatively we can just buy a new team in the championship, probably end up in the bottom half of that league for a few years, take 10 years to get back to the prem anyway. We have to not worry about just this season, everything should be about building a team now and promotion should be irrelevant.
No matter what happens there'll be a downside. We'd all like to be Man Utd ... ... whose supporters are currently up in arms. 'Terrible football, wrong players, wrong manager, wrong CEO, wrong owners, ad infinitum.'
This for me also, I’ve already said get the sd in and define which direction we’re going in before naming a manager, I still don’t think it’s too late to mount a challenge for promotion this year, hull look like they’re leading the pack but they’ll have a few bad results as they’re not that good
But by the sounds of it our new manager is going to be someone brought in because he fits a shoe string budget with our first choice (poyet) apparently too expensive.
I'm sure I read Sartori put up money for players, possibly Grigg. No wonder he's decided to kick Donald into touch if right ffs.
“Sartori doesn’t care about the club, he wants nothing to do with us”*** *** said whilst Sartori is spending millions of pounds buying a bigger share of the club
Or Celtic.......Going for their 10th title in a row. Give these clubs, lets just say the last 10 years of what weve had (not to mention the previous 50) and see where the loyalty of their fanbase is then. A barometer for all lifes tribulations is measured on how people act when the chips are down, well I have no doubt that we are the biggest under achieving club in world football, but we are still there. Clubs like Man Utd and Liverpool are only as big as they are because of the demise of clubs like Sunderland, Aston Villa & Everton
I wonder if the new manager will be someone totally left field. Dave Jones has previous at oxford with Pep Clotet and nearly Craig Bellamy. IF Schwarz is involved possibly Ljungberg? Or maybe Zenden? Zenden played for us and Marseille, been an assistant at Chelsea and PSV. Think he was youth team coach aswell. Surely if it was one at the top of the betting they would be in by today?!?!
