    Everyone was over the moon when he was appointed rated a first class manager with experience, was a SAFC fan when younger . His time at the club turned turned out to be disappointing to say the least .

    Desperately sad that your neighbours have had to go through that.
    Hope they find peace and strength.
    Hope you enjoyed the whiskies.

    Hoping this announcement gives us the right infrastructure for a good quality youth set up including the recruitment of some promising 19 and 20 year olds and a quality first team coach and under 23 coach who can get the best out of those coming through.
    A decent keeper, striker and right back in the window would do us if we create a better attacking system - though losing ****e players wasting our budget may be as crucial to progress this time round. Grigg McLaughlin and Graham gone for me for starters.

    We played japs and Americans and cowboys and Indians at the juniors, nowt wrong with it just mirrored things like John Wayne and Roy Rogers, but as I remember the Americans and the cowboys always won, and I was always a Japanese Indian.

    Disagree with McLaughlin. He's been playing very well in Willis's position. Totally agree about Grigg and Graham who are both stealing a living. You can add Power to the list and possibly Maguire who has been very disappointing this season

    Well the original loan from FPP was to Donald so I'm guessing they will continue to hold his knackers tight.

    If confirmation of the takeover comes through on Monday I'd peddle Parky before the game and let Leadbitter take the team for the game.

    guess it depends if KLD are buying shares in madrox from Donald or shares in Sunderland from madrox.

    I hope so mate. A telling sign for me will be how quickly we do business in January. If they get people in quickly I’ll be happy, waiting until the last minute, ending up scraping 3rd or 4th choice targets shows a lack of ambition. Get players in early, make a difference and try and climb the table rather than wasting a full month.

    It's not though, I think it's only printed down Sheffield, I think the local Echo offices are at Rainton Bridge, maybe one of the major problems is that the Editor is a Mag.

    Nixon seems to think that reports are premature

    It’s difficult to get people in without getting people out as things stand, unless they’re 20 year olds. So I hope they decide a strategy and make it assertively clear which ones don’t fit and will be leaving or not getting game time and get into the youth market.

    Maybe a couple of points above base rate, no more than that. Well within normal parameters. To clarify, the FPP investment ,according to Donald was not in the Club but in him personally. This is on the record numerous times but I to would want security so secured against Madrox and the Club assets is a normal way to do this. .

    I do however think that Nixon’s sources are the FPP guys. So he could be one step further removed from all this.

    really hope @Prehab26 and RR are more accurate. Can’t be bothered with this rumbling on and on. Needs to happen ASAP before we fall further behind the promotion pack.Parky has to go

    Off topic maybe, but with Kyril Louis-Dreyfus being from the continent and being a French football supporter he'll have contacts and knowledge of young up and coming French footballers which ties in with needing to wipe the slate clean how we operate as a club.
