    What is 10% about 4 million? Even if 20,000 chucked money in its £200 each. Would that many put in?

    Let's just take away all the bloody noise around who owns what shares and certain people having involvement and all the conspiracies and theories about. So many bloody financial experts who havent got a clue.
    Since KlD came in he has put a football structure in place from literally nothing. Thats a major investment from practically nothing. It is still evolving. ****ing hell, they arent going to get every decision right..the pitchforks are out for Speakman now too cos we sold a centre half. It's going to take time but the squad potential is huge but might take further tweaking unfortunately. But remember hes only had 12 months to clear up a complete mess. Hes clearly putting things in place that will make us more sustainable.
    Weve tied down our best young players, spending money on cameras for streaming passes, signed Defoe, bought Matete and brought in highly rated kids from Bayern.
    Attendances are still averaging 30k..yes.weve had an awful three weeks and mistakes have been made but god this constant obsession with CM and SD is getting us nowhere. I'm bored ****less by it and certain people with their agendas will.continue to spin their narrative
    They know **** all

    Me and the missus were talking just now about this. She loves watching footy and watches Sunderland play but isn’t obsessed like me about the ins and outs.

    Read the facts online and I was saying about the reaction. She repeated the facts and said that well doesn’t KLD have a higher percentage than the others,
    She asked if the others are ganging up on him with their separated percentages (I said no) and then said well are they controlling things. I said well no but Charlie is going to matches and rumoured to be doing interviews.

    She then said well what the hell are you all
    upset about then, I said well it’s about the fact they have more shares that we thought. It dawned on me then that we are escalating this a little more that we should be…..

    Because seem to just want something to be angry about, it's blatantly obvious KLD is running the club. The others are just in the back ground

    He owns more shares than the the other 3, you look at the individual percentages not all 3 added together.

    Added to the fact that a lot seem to think Sartori is siding with KLD. Therefore the other 2 can’t control anything.

    Big game Saturday btw - don't let this distract us from getting behind the Wizards in the gaffers first home game. Let him hear and feel the noise come 3pm HTL.

    The thing that doesn't sit well with me is that Kernt Donald bought the club with the parachute money. Says he'll pay it back but he's obviously holding out until we reach the promised land b4 paying it back. He'll then sell up and get millions more on top of that. Now lawfully he's done nothing wrong but it fkn grinds with me and I can't wish the fecker well at all.

    Absolutely agree KLD is doing a fine job the club has been transformed and the building blocks are in place to really kick on. I’m also convinced that he is here for the long term and has a big plans for us. I think he needs to given a bit of slack and doesn’t deserve the stick he’s getting from some However I do think the the share split throws up some interesting issues around the clubs financing and is definitely worth discussing.

    Well said. Think he’s the man to get us out of this bloody league. Looking forward to seeing how we set up and play. Rome wasn’t built in a day but I’ve got high hopes for Neil Johnson put together an attacking set up Hopefully he builds on that but makes us much more solid

    Exactly. If this whole sad episode highlights anything, it's that promotion is imperative if we want to be rid of the clingons.

    We as fans have to do our bit and hope that Alex Neil can make us more difficult to beat and turn this around. For him to get us up this year, with half of the lads knackered and a fair few still out injured, he will have to earn his corn, but he comes across as someone who rises to a challenge.

    I reckon to get promoted automatically we would need to reach 90 points, which I think is beyond us, but if he can galvanise us, make us hard to beat and restore the players confidence, we will have as good a chance as anyone of going up via the play-offs.

    Haway Alex Lad!

    As if to prove my point! Why? Because you need someone to vent at and make your own conclusion regardless of anything you know (which is literally nothing)! Think I’d rather you **** off personally

    Brilliant!, I think there’s a fair bit of hand wringing going on here (sorry I’ve already said it elsewhere)

    Let’s see how it all plays out before judging

    Makes no sense. Nobody knows the ins and outs of any of the deals. Yet, because of the percentages released, and irrespective of the comments re Donald and Methven and ther (zero) involvement, loads blame the owner.

    Starting to act like those idiots up the road!
