Just read this WMS statement https://wisemensay.co.uk/all-we-ask-for-is-the-truth-sunderland/ Do they just go out of their way to stir up ****e. KLD released a absolutely clear letter with the RAWA minutes detailing the situation but it appears they just ignore it for the sake of a headline. KLD statement "I spoke to Steve and Kristjaan this morning and they immediately highlighted the concerns raised with regards to the club’s ownership and that is why I’m writing to you today. The project we are undertaking can only be successful with the full support and trust of our fan base and as I have stated before, it is my desire to lead SAFC with openness and transparency. At present I’m unable to share the details of the shareholders agreement due to confidentiality clauses but will be in a position to do so in due course. I would like to reiterate that I hold a governance majority which was non-negotiable for my involvement. It places me in direct control of the club’s long-term strategy and day-to-day operations. Alongside the Executive Team and staff, I’m totally committed to working side-by-side with our supporters to deliver long-term success to the people of Sunderland and our wider community. Thank you for your continued support and I hope to see you all at the Stadium of Light on Saturday" Not sure what more the lad can say. There are always things a business cant disclose while changes are ongoing Its obvious we have a long term plan from the changes made so far but these things take time let them get on with it.
To be fair to RAWA I think they mean well But on this subject there are people in WMS with an agenda that as you say is at times embarrassing
Yep, the KLD statement should have been enough. And it is for me, as I've not seen any reason to doubt KLD thus far. Hopefully KLD reads this board and understands that the fan groups that his execs talk to do not represent everyone.
An agenda to stir up a hornets nest when their is absolutely no need....oh and to big up their ego's. I've said it b4, they do not represent me.
I honestly don't understand why this is even a story now, it's bullshit. It's clear in the turnaround the club has seen in 2021 that the structure has changed and it's blatantly obvious as to the reason why (or who). I've not once been concerned about the ownership of our club since KLD came in and I still am not, and will not be unless something drastically changes, which I really can't see happening. We're in good hands, let's just enjoy not having to worry about that one huge aspect of our great club for a change! Those who want to moan and whinge, theirs a **** club about 12 miles away that you can go 'support'.
He’s a non executive isn’t he ? I wonder if he’s going to step up and be an invested member of the board.
This set is pretty dull.Davison kills meeting in first paragraph with nothing to add on the ownership issue - everything else is turgid
The club shop and ticket office situations are a joke. I can only imagine KLD has had to make sure the chuckle brothers money goes towards the football team and football specific needs like the pitch and other investments are limited even if they’d end up funding the football. Sad and we’ve got no business acumen.
The club shop and it's stock / staffing levels certainly need looking at for next season and I'd like to think improvements would be made. The rest is a bit "meh" and to be honest, sort the club shop out and get things right in the pitch and the rest can be background noise
The club shop shouldn't be at the ground/immediate vicinity. It needs walk through traffic everyday so should be positioned in a shopping precict
