    Players we've bought have increased in value which goes against the norm at Sunderland.

    Matete, Pritchard, Stewart, Winchester, etc are all good buys and despite the previous owners we still have the likes of Patterson, Neil Embleton.

    Plus the big clubs are obviously content to let their young players come here.

    That's the basis of a good club and it's done without spending big money. How great was it that the winning goal was scored by one of our own :emoticon-0103-cool:

    That might depend on the nature of the deal signed when KLD arrived.

    Clearly , they are obliged to match funding on a pro rata basis. But it could be that any investment up to or above a certain, pre agred limit has to be agreed by all parties.

    We cannot know this stuff, so I'm still going of the interview KLD did over a year ago, when he articulated HIS ideas.

    We'll see, but as much as I'd like those two completely disconnected from us, I just suspect that they might be more uncomfortable with the position than us. Or KLD.

    Correct. Sustainable, structured growth is the way. It was always the way.

    Its all about the players you recruit...usually paying more money for an established player... increases chances of success.. eg Man City

    But not always...

    When you think about it, the approach we have adopted with younger players, sensible wages etc means we are in a great position compared to 80% of the championship.

    I saw a piece this morning where all bar about 5 championship clubs have wages far in excess of turnover.

    This could be the perfect storm

    Yeah, just our luck to be owned by impoverished billionaires.

    For ‘impoverished’ you could read ‘shrewd’ :emoticon-0103-cool:

    It would also be nice if we could plunder the best talent from other academies.

    It wouldn’t be a surprise mate. They are way out of their depth in dealing with him and his legal/financial team.

    Just seen this posted on Twitter, mainly about dum and dummer still being around but one of the comments finished with...

    "Personally I'd like to see a complete takeover from a outside investor that wants to take the club forward because tbh I don't really trust any of them. I think the groan around Wembley when KLD was put on the big screen sums up what people think of them so fingers crossed something changes and we move forward."

    Really, a load of crap as far as I'm concerned, suggesting that a large part of the fans don't want KLD. Some people need to boil their heads!

    Big cheer for KLD, Quinn and Reid.

    No groaning at all before, during or after the game.

    I suspect the tweet is summat to do with William Storey.
