    I couldn't give a **** if SD comes to every single game! He's just a minority shareholder so has nothing to do with the running of the club whatsoever. I think he will get bored and once fans are back in the stadium we won't see him at all because he's a spineless twat. KLD is the main man and I think we will soon forget about what SD did to the club. Up and up from now on.

    Donald only ever had his wallet's best interest at heart!

    My view is that Donald got a deal to pay for the club with its own parachute payments - money he has probably repaid no doubt with, or on the strength of, cash generated from the sale of the club.

    Did he get as much out of the sale as he was expecting? I doubt it - hence hanging on to shares when he said he would leave when he wasn't wanted.

    He made a lot of 'reconnecting with fans' but of course he would - he desperately needed high gate monies to run the club and he was planning on us rebounding to the championship to make a quick buck.

    We all saw Donald at the play-off final with someone he was willing to sell the club to - the sale failed because we lost (although it is probable that the club dodged a bullet there).

    We also heard about Donald introducing FPP to Ross as the new owners. Something we hear fell through because of Donald's late shenanigans in trying to screw more cash for him out of the sale. Was that done with the club's best interests at heart?

    Those two collapsed deals screwed the club over during two summer transfer windows.

    I get that Donald was playing jack the lad with the fans but all the while he was making the club more valuable for himself at the expense of the club.

    Making the first team kit man redundant to combine the academy kit man's job with that of the first team wasn't in the interest of the club and gave out a terrible signal of his view of the academy. A category 1 establishment but a part time kit manager. I'm surprised he didn't tell the lads to take their own kits home to wash and claim the cost back from the tax man!

    I view Donald in the same light as I view the solicitors involved when I bought my house - people we had no option but to deal with but I would rather we didn't have to. The more attention they got, the more important they felt. I was glad to see the back of them, like I am with Donald.

    I don't doubt his right, as a shareholder, to attend matches - but he would be pushing his luck going to games once fans return.

    Donald and his bum chum will not turn up at SoL when the crowd is back...the stick he will take will be too much.

    This club is bigger than Donald and Methven. They’re an irrelevance. They can be at any game as long as they’re supporting the lads - which I’m sure they will be as they’ll get dollar if we do well.

    The Chuckle Brothers can go to any game but I suspect that they will get grief off the Sunderland fans that will make even Steve Bruce wince and feel sorry for them

    As a minority shareholder, and non-director, I don't believe he has the right ...

    ... @Prehab26 dropped a hint about this last week, around the Burton match.

    I hope it went along the lines of "what the **** are you doing here? Watch it online like everyone else"

    There is no love lost between the old and new majority Sunderland share owners.

    Just means hmmm, not in my opinion.

    I think they're now just irritating minority shareholders who may not even be legally entitled to go under Covid restrictions.

    after KLD's half time interview I doubt if they'll ever be seen around Sunderland again. He's just very calmly thrown the ****ing book at Donald and Co. I'm sure thats pretty much guaranteed they go down in history as 'asset strippers' , not quite how they were trying to be remembered.

    Did anyone else want the 4th official to hold up 30 minutes injury time?
