They'll not hang about long, I wouldn't have thought. They know what they'll want back for their investment and as soon as that's there, they'll be gone. The worrying thing is, as an investment firm, the only thing they care about is getting that profit they're aiming for. They'd close our academy short term if it came to it to save money. Ruthless, but they need to be.

Other than Henderson and Pickford over 20 years our Academy has underperformed, lets hope they manage it better , eh ?
 
What a crock of **** lads.

If it’s a hedge fund or private equity firm they will want to make the club more valuable not desimate it.

Can we get a ****ing grip here we got what we needed and desperately wanted with golden ****ing balls, he’s made a bankrupt club debt free basically.

Positive lads, massive. I’m buzzing for it. We start from scratch as a ****ing shark in a league of minnows, lets enjoy the ride.

Just looking for more information on the deal.
It's far to early to know if this is good or bad as no-one knows what Short has agreed to and what the new owners will do.
At this stage we don't even know who else is involved in the "International consortium". <cheers>

But we know he’s written off the debt and that was the noose round the clubs throat.

We all want the inside line mate I get that, but being £100 million plus in debt or being debt free? Not a choice or a remotely negative position, regardless.

Wondering why they didn’t insist Short paid off Chodwells contract.

Maybe would be pushing their luck. I guess the deal of debts paid off, club as is sounded pretty good and unfortunately that includes another £2m to Rodwell. Think if I was negotiating I wouldn't have risked such a good offer with further demands. Even with big wage bill, no debt and fanbase etc is a great starting point. Reckon we should forget Rodwell, he's basically an invisible liability now and thinking about him seems to spoil peoples day.

**** him, he's basically gone anyway, pretend he doesn't exist and move on mate, be healthier that way no?

Fair mate. Genuinely believe he will walk now anyway.

That's about all he can manage.

Seriously though, no-one is going to take Rodwell as a player, his career is over. As such all he can do is sit on your wages for another season, he's not going anywhere but it is a drop in the ocean compared to the huge debt that has just got. I'm flabbergasted and chuffed, I thought it was simply a matter of 'when' administration happened, which would have caused issues next season and probably extended the League One visit.

I always thought administration was unrealistic as would have given Short pennies on the pound, the reality is looking like he genuinely wanted to leave with a good note.

**** Rodwell, we are in on a great place to start the long road back now and that’s all that matters.

Donald has been approached by a consortium looking to buy the club, whose debts stood at £110.4m in their last published accounts, over a year ago. His part, however, would only be a small one, and his interest appears to be as much about gathering information to help his own club.

“If I’m honest I am not that heavily involved,” he admitted to BBC Radio Solent.

“What has basically happened, it is common knowledge the club is for sale and there are a few consortiums and whenever there are consortiums there is generally a shortage of money somewhere along the line and I always get asked if I’d be an investor.

“I always say yes because it gets me knowledge of lots of things that happen at different clubs and I can take that away and it helps me here.

“That is the situation at Sunderland, there is a lead investor and they have asked me would I be involved and I have said ‘Look, I won’t rule it out but it needs to make sense.’

“Quite where exactly it is, I don’t know, I think there is quite a few people interested in Sunderland at this time.”

As Donald says, plenty of investors are thought to have approached Short about buying his club, although they will have been required to sign non-disclosure agreements which makes knowing how many and who hard to know with any certainty.

Last summer a German consortium and film, television and music production company Fulwell 73 both had talks with Short, but he called them off when he felt they were meandering nowhere and harming the on-field progress of the club.

The Football League’s dual ownership rules would force Donald to sell Eastleigh, even though they play in the Conference, to invest in Sunderland.

“In all honesty I have some attractive football clubs that would have made me money and I have said I can get involved if it doesn’t affect Eastleigh but it has both times so I have just said no,” Donald revealed.

“It is extremely unlikely anything will happen but if remotely something did happen it would mean I would have to let Eastleigh go but it would have to be an absolutely sensational deal for that to be the case.

“I have put an awful lot of hard work and money into Eastleigh and I have ambitions of getting them in the Championship.

“If for any reason this deal looks different to all the others put on my desk, this club is debt free and run a certain way and there is no way on this earth I would ever jeopardise Eastleigh’s future over making some pounds somewhere else.”

Yeah, I do. What's your point? It was only a cut and paste.
