    I can't see how you can fault Ballard there, he can't rush out to everyone in our half.

    Stop lying. Mumba had a pro contract so we decided to sell him. Greenwood and Hugill were let go without a fight. Donald tried to sell Dan Neil. Donald is a joke of a man.

    Completely, we cant stop greed & kids will go....but KLD & current setup will do everything they can to keep them.....SD sold anything & everything he could at the first opportunity....sure one of the kids who left commented on the lack of effort to keep him....he wasnt capable of running a football club this size & thats not purely down to the resources available

    You cant stop them but you can make it hard for them to want to leave. Also if a player decides to leave then its about getting the best deal for the club not selling them on teh cheap like SD n CM did.

    KLD got more for the lad that went to Everton (cant mind his name) than SD n CM got for Hugill, Pye, Stephenson and Mumba combined

    His mates all referred to him as Freddie, my son played footbalkl with his best mate, apparently he's turned down a new contract at Everton

    Hugill was offered a deal to die for at his age, his agent got him to move with a massive sign on fee. One of his mates admitted on RTG that was the case.
    So no it aint a lie as you gob off, even his mate confirmed it.

    And the rest? You and your mate Donald need to **** off. Anyone who defends the mess Donald created at this club does not have the clubs best interests at heart.

    What would you say about Logan Pye and how the club handled his exit? I know some of his family, so interested to know your take

    SD actively reached out to teams to buy our talent.

    He is a scumbag.

    And there's still some posters that say KLD will sell any of our top talent to whoever comes in for them

    we normally agree on most things, however, not sticking up for him, BUT, the truth is he did not actively try to move on any of our kids.
    When they had the chance to sign, those who wanted to stay did so.
    That is a fact.

    It's not defending him, he did not actively try to sell our kids, he did what he thought was best for the club, it just did not turn out right, the job was just to big for them, by a mile.

    Was it in the clubs best interests to destroy contract negotiations with Maja and then spend too much money on a replacement which the manager didn't want and didn't fit the system?

    Was it in the clubs best interests to use the parachute payments to buy the club?

    Was it in the clubs best interests to sell off the clubs best young assets for pennies?

    Was it in the clubs best interests to neglect the academy so much that the u21s failed to win a game for over a year and we are still feeling the damage now?

    Was it in the clubs best interests to employ Phil ****ing Parkinson?

    Was it in the clubs best interests to employ Jim Rodwell?

    Was it in the clubs best interests for Donalds mate Methven to abuse the people of Sunderland?

    I can go on if you want me to.

    He did what he thought was best for him ...

    ... if he'd had a big enough offer he'd have sold the entire club to anyone.

    People aren't gullible fools Bob, Donald was a cheat and a liar.

    The cover up you threw at us for the 'kidnapping attempt' does you no favours ...

    ... it makes you look like a founder member of the Flat Earth Society tbh.

    Rumour: Fee agreed in the region of £2m for Spanish u20 striker Alberto Balsam. The 20 year old striker can also play deeper in the number 10 role and already has 4 goals for Las Palmas this season in the Spanish Segunda Division.

    A tricky striker who is an expert set piece taker recently signed a sponsorship with a shampoo company to release his own brand shampoo.
