New Head Coach

[Wayne the Punk]

I'm not sure he knew what was going on

Even I have trouble imagining he'd sign off on that

He should have known

 

[Hudson92]

He’s still a Saudi sympathising ****wagon.

Ah 100%

 

[Pure River Slut]

I am. Or at least the ones that behaved like spoiled children over it. If KLD ****s off because of that I'll be ****ing livid. Best owner we've had in decades and people can't see it. We could well end up as a status symbol for some far Eastern businessman with no clue or the puppet of a pariah state. ****ing brilliant.

I generally agree. We have some class fans of course, the number and noise Is incredible but online the last year has left a bitter taste. I’ve had more points non ready to go recently than Sunderland got in the last half a season and I don’t regret any. There are folk firing up the masses with ridiculous levels of histrionic and they need telling and the mods shouldn’t allow it because it escalates.

Say it how it is You're right like

My tea was canny

 

[Southern A]

Fwiw only having 2 years left on Neil’s deal isn’t a relaxing situation for me. That basically means this is our last window to sell him without having to reduce the asking price

We still have class fans. Fans have differences of opinions and that’s a good thing. Some fans are labelled happy clappers and others twisty ****ers. This is still a massive football club and some fans want more than we’re currently achieving there’s nothing wrong with that. I’ve followed the club all over the country in the PL, championship and L1. I’m not having someone who can barely be arsed to attend home matches tell me I’m a ****e fan because I want more for my club than them. We all want the same goal some just want it faster than others mate.

Correct, its ok, Speakman will have this covered

Would explain alot, why put a new kitchen in if you're moving out soon.

This is based off some random person on the internet, doesn't mean it's true

 

[DELETED ACCOUNT 1234]

There's no takeover, it's gossip to fill the void and try to invent some sort of reason for the delay.

 

[Smug in Boots]

I read that as bad news with you saying the managerial appointment would be a minor side issue.
If it's the same as wheatsheafs rumour I hope it's not true. For 1 I think kld is a good owner and building from the ground up, laying good foundations. Selling now would be a lot of uncertainty for a new coach to come in to and whether new owners would back him.
And we don't know who we could end up with and whether they would carry on what kld has started or totally change it and not necessarily for the better.

I can see why mate but I think that's because we're currently in a 'negative frame of mind' perhaps.

It would be bad news for me personally but other people might think it was wonderful.

This is the trouble with posting things on forums and I've allowed myself to say too much again ...

... despite me promising myself I wouldn't do that again after how the 'Dell takeover' collapsed at the death.

 

[Mackem 10.1]

RUMOUR ALERT

KLD is looking to offload his shares, and is using a third party to look for potential buyers..this has happend within the last 4/6 months.

Apprently, LP the current board member is interested in KLD shares and is looking for investment.

These are all rumours at the moment Ive heard.

More negative rumours based on nothing

 

[Yes but no but]

There's no takeover, it's gossip to fill the void and try to invent some sort of reason for the delay.

Exactly. No chance KLD releasing that statement the other day if he was trying to sell for 6 months

 

[Dorset]

I hope you're right mate. We could do without a takeover saga hot on the heals of the HC recruitment debacle

Could it be controversial due to Saudi past? Some feel the bridge is burned and others willing to let it slide?

I dont know pal..it came from an agent. So maybe..

I really don't believe the club has a fake news department with dozens of people churning out 'distractions for the fans' ...

... they already have the forums doing it all for free

 

[Grimes]

Sounds like a full scale takeover chaps? Pearlman with the coup d’état from the inside, about time.

That aimed at me ? I go to plenty like considering I live away and I’m all over the country by week so not having that. If it is aimed at me you’re out of order.
This isn’t aimed at you but there are people who literally just campaign against the club post after post, thread after thread. Not as many on here but a couple. That Johno says nowt good, Andrew the Mackem just lies, over on RTG there are problem about 30 or so.

 

[Wheatsheaf]

@Prehab26 @Magnus @Smug in Boots have you lads heard anything recently i.e. rumours of a takeover?
