    I think it’s catch 22. You cannot get a WP without a “job offer” so to speak, and you cannot play a player without a WP, but you can agree all of the details outside of that.

    The international clearance thing is a nightmare!!

    Nope, they'll know whether the person will get a WP or not

    Annoying but it may eventually start to work in our favour.

    Yes mate, sooner than we think too maybe eh.

    What a summer this is turning out to be mind.

    Unbelievable if we can get these lads linked today over the line, we'll be very competitive.

    I'm 60 and I've never seen anything like what KLD/KS/FG have done in my time here.

    Absolute top drawer.

    I remember you posting something about KLD when he first arrived, something along the lines of you'd re-possessed cars from gypsy sites amongst other things you'd done and done so without fear but that you had seen something in KLD that had you had previously seen only in top class operators that had made you have a little fear and a lot of respect for him because he was so clinical and clear headed and ruthless.

    That struck a chord with me as I've met a couple of people like that in my life, both of them nice lads but utterly driven, ruthless and won't let anything get in the way of their end game.

    When you have KLD's background, support network and family ambition then its a heady mix and I'm chuffed we've got him.

    Anyway, despite not having had a drink, I'm rambling.

    Have a great night all.

    Cheers mate.

    Yes KLD evaluated the club, the legacy and all the ideas left by previous owners then employed lawyers, accountants and other top people.

    He's done the opposite of what 'character owners' do when they believe their charisma and personality will carry people along ...

    ... the way he's shunned the spotlight is amazing and it's all fascinating to watch.

    Aye, cheers Robertson, RTB, SouthenA and any other transfer info posters I've missed, also the thread starter SouthernA again for 1st page lists.

    The other thread is too much of a slog, approximately 50 pages per day and I'm not exaggerating, so I mostly just view this one(since sunderland transfer info is what I'm here looking for).
