    I doubt it's come as a big surprise.

    How about, we are willing to explore them when plan A is exhausted?

    No offence but that's quite a negative spin mate ...

    ... isn't it possible we've Still as a priority and are making the best case we can to get him.

    People saying *we're a disgrace and a shambles, without knowing how negotiations have gone, are being a little unfair imo.

    At the end of the day we can't actually force anyone to come to Sunderland.

    * "No one seems to want to touch us with a barge pole due to the restrictions being put on by the hierarchy.
    Oh and any decent players we have left are going to be sold."


    Someone has to be your number once choice, there's no other possibility <laugh>

    It's like when people don't agree with the club being sustainable when the only alternative is being unsustainable.

    No offence at all. It is a negative spin born out of the fear we are going to end up with an uninspiring coach who starts on the back foot like Beale did.

    Pleased about that, things don't always come across in the way I mean them.

    Taking away all the guesswork and hysteria it seems to boil down to the club targeting Still, being asked to wait and then waiting ...

    ... after which they've interviewed him and made an offer 'he's shaken on'.

    Without the club putting a foot wrong another club has jumped in, I just don't see that as the unmitigated shambles some are claiming that's all.

    Reliable French reporter followed by Romano is insinuating Still is all done for Lens

    1st off I told everyone KLD is way out of his depth
    The money would never come from his pocket, unless it was a loan.
    He would never listen to anyone but KS cos it makes him look like he has dropped a bollock.
    And he has.
    Some lads post what snippets they get, just trying to help fans who get no info.
    Feel sorry for Magnus

    TBF you could read that as the complete opposite ...

    ... not saying that's the case but it's not clear in my mind tbh.

    No offence Bob but I'm just not buying any of that.

    That's just something that can be said but can't be proven in any way.

    You believe KLD is someone inferior, gullible and clueless ...

    ... sorry but I just disagree entirely.

    I’d be more inclined to believe Bob if his posts made sense.

    Why should he spend his own money? Why would we want him to spend his own money? If the club is self-sustaining it's in good health. If it relies on one wealthy individual for its existence it is constantly under threat. One person can end it on a whim. Not spending his own money doesn't make out of his depth. Seeking sustainability makes him a responsible owner who is ensuring the long term existence of the club.

    The Mags thought they were forcing Ashley out for ten years ...

    ... then believed they'd booted him out when he took a massive payoff and strolled away.

    People can believe the strangest things based on absolutely f*ck all.

    If KLD walks we could end up with really terrible owners like half the league ... and how it was before KLD.

    Getting shot of Speakman could solve a lot of KLD's problems.

    I was told he has Ligue 1 advisors from his Dad's old crew so don't understand why he relies on KS so much.

    Why do you continually say he's out of his depth, when in reality you have no idea about the bloke
