Bob gets **** because he talks ****. He may here stuff but he must add arms and legs to it because he is never ****in right!
All Bob has said is why there has been a delay to how he'd heard it would be over the weekend, hasn't he? Don't think there's any indication the goalposts have massively moved.
He just said ‘club structure’ which could mean anything really, doesn’t sound like structure to the deal or anything, it’s a tedious process like
If anything Bob's comments kinda align with what Smug had heard regarding an additional appointment. That approval has been received and that now KLD is just waiting to get agreement on others to join as directors / management before announcing. Basically there's both positive and negative ways you can look at his post. It's natural to assume the negative but as far as I can see we are still in a position where it could get announced at any moment,, but that it doesn't mean disaster if it isn't.
We know more of what's going on than what we don't know to be fair. What we know KLD made a statement saying he's buying the club He's in Sunderland, at the AOL/SOL and will be at the match tomorrow Donald & Methven have vanished The EFL are/were involved with KLD KLD will have overall control He's worth many times what the previous people were. He's appointed football and non-football staff He's brought in new players What we don't know The date of the final announcement Errr ...
Looks like any potential delay is getting his twin involved aswell. Personally to get another billionaire onboard i am more than happy to wait a tad longer
As well as all the points you’ve stated there mate, we also know Who he is What he’s worth His family history in football His knowledge of football Who he has installed in club positions That he’s living in the area and being ‘hands on’ All of this means, for me at least, an announcement will bring only relief that it’s official. The usual excitement surrounding a takeover/new owner has been diluted over the last 3/4 months while we’ve been getting to know all about KLD. The excitement levels will rise again when he speaks to us and lays out his vision for the club, now that is what I’m looking forward to more than the ‘announcement’.
The fact that he is here and already "HANDS ON". is the winner for me. We now know our club family now has a proper leader at the helm. When he decides to announce it is up to him. He seems so meticulous that he wants everything to be right. Personally I love that and it has been a very long time since I have felt the confidence of our owners as I do now. 63 years been going to matches and quite honestly I haven't bothered too much in all that time about what is going on behind the scenes. Points on the board are all that matter and our club doing things right and proper. This new set up looks to be the dream we have been waiting for. Nice one Kyril HA'WAY THE LADS.
Based on the previous owners ,its probably best there is no big fanfare and the new owner just gets on with sorting out the mess. To raise expectations and get the support all excited just makes the job harder as you have manage both external and internal stress.
Am I the only one who, basically, couldn't give a ****e? It's done, we're a new billionaire's plaything and we have stuff to look forward to hopefully.
It's a balancing act isn't it. I agree that it's good to just get stuck in but he'll want to whip up some enthusiasm. The supporters will want to see enthusiasm from him so he'll have to give people a vision of what he wants. Whatever he says some will say 'heard it all before' but I'm sure we all just want honesty. After the last few years we could do with some of that ... ... along with some unbridled hysterical rabble rousing and wild promises Oops, getting carried away again ...
Exactly this. It’s all done bar the scarf photo, the real excitement starts when he gets cracking with his new day job.
