    Got this from a mate



    Good evening Paul
    Don't want to put this on the page but I've a very good friend of mine I've seen out tonight a lifelong SAFC fan who does every game home N away . He's very good friends with Tom White from Sky who obviously is close to Dave Jones from Sky who is on our board as non executive director.
    From what I heard KLD is selling up with 40/50 million being the asking price and apparently the board can't wait to see the back of him and KS who's contract is up in summer. No buyer has been found but apparently it's being floated about to find someone to come in. this is the reason Dodds hasn't been replaced so it gives the new owner a clean slate to appoint their own manager!!
    Like I say unofficial but a very reliable source.
    Never dull moment at Sunderland m8

    I thought KLD was interviewing for a new manager.
    Never liked him anyway. <laugh>

    The board that consists of KLD's brother and people he appointed himself? Pretty sure Dave Jones is the only one on the board who wasn't a KLD appointee.

    Was about to post the same when I read that part. Not to mention the asking price having a variance of £10m. Who's paying £50m when they can get it for £40m?

    Though that might just be KLD's part which mens Sartori is delighted to be rid of him and he's staying put.

    Dave Jones must be furious that Tom White loves a gossip mind and spreads private conversations to fans.

    The board, most of whom are KLD's family or friends of KLD's family can't stand him?

    Seems legit

    Also, considering this is pretty big news why would Tom White not be mentioning this either on sky or social media? He's never been shy before of talking about takeover news, remember the crypto one? He was all over that.

    Just in case this might be true, can I ask anyone who sees this as good, to search their memory and go back to how they felt when they heard that Ellis Short had sold up, and to who!
