    But your information regarding security guards has come from him. The snivelling little **** has been a disaster and is now blaming some OAP, part timer on the reception desk. The whole off field operations is a shambles under his watch and all he says, he will look into it. He needs to look into how the **** he can get out of here whilst trying to save face.

    well the designs got signed off at the start of December and they were clearly measured up to fit so someone at the club passed it off,
    no chance they just turned up and started doing it and if the try and say that it's insulting the intelligence of sunderland fans,

    if no one is gone in the next week or 2 KLD new about it

    to add to this aswell sunderland statement was them basically admitting it was them and even KLD basically said it was one of his employees

    no company would risk doing that with out permission

    His only get out will be if he didn't know the exact details and was harsher than it first appeared. Going to be interesting moving ahead I think

    Totally agree, hugely pissed off with it but it’s pointless not moving on from it.

    I doubt very much that KLD would have known what they were going to be covered up with, but someone high up must have known. Then to let a contractor on site, who should have supplied Risk Assessment and Method Statements to satisfy the HSE without going through the site induction and aforementioned RA/MS is quite irresponsible from a Facilities Management point of view

    As long as it's kept to one endless loop of a thread with endless speculation, like this, I've no problem.

    I'd prefer it if KLD was allowed to do what he's said, and investigate, but I doubt some will believe anything he says anyway tbh.

    I'd imagine with all the league games, Christmas and the build up to the derby things were hectic.

    It was a balls up but I seriously doubt KLD would have any interest in what should've been a very minor matter.

    I heard it was signed off by someone who is the stadium manager called Nick. I didn't even know we have a stadium manager.

    You're correct , should be kept in this thread.

    Just read Phil's piece in the echo. I think it's a good one and really summarized how a lot of Sunderland fans feel about the last week. Well the ones I know anyway.

    Don't think we do. Think we have a head of events and it might still be (NC) , hasn't been here too long I don't think.

    Apparently there's two Nick's but the one doing events/marketing isn't the one, it's the other one. By stadium manager they may have meant facilities so if there's a Nick working in there it could be him.

    Start with whoever was in charge of the organisation of the event on our side. Someone will have been leading on it.

    If they didn't sign off on it, who did?

    And if they did, what the **** were they thinking?

    It might have been the company (but then you'd have to ask why they were happy to lose our custom forever), but it should have been stop stop stop the second the first one was unwrapped. They had clearly been left entirely alone for hours in there.

    i like KLD and i think he'll get us somewhere in time,

    but i think now the only way this gets sorted and stops the negative is SD goes

    give bruce more control

    he steps down as chairman and employees a new chairman who is here full time who over looks everything and everything goes through him

    and then he reports TO KLD the important stuff

    means in the future something like this won't ever happen again
    well first off all ITV, mirror and times all reported and KLD him self and are club statement basically admitted it

    Can't agree with that, the people he employs need to get their act together.

    KLD goes to our games and lives for the club, if he's not chairman he's just a cheque book.

    He's better than that.

    i think when it comes to on field stuff he loves it and i think it's showed cos we've progressed , off field stuff he seems to have no interest and it needs sorted, he employed the people and for 2 years now it hasn't improved at all ans when questions get asked, all you here is, we are looking into it

    i think bruce will sort a lot of it out and the summer is massive for Off field stuff cos are contract will be up for are kit supply so it will be the first time the can actually do something in that department and with Hummel likely comming back and the potential of the old badge coming back it could be a massive seller and if nothing changes in that side it will lose a canny bit of money

    What big progress is that?
