They talked well when they walked through the door into the press conference, as @Mackem49000 quoted, but they have failed to deliver on...

"reconnecting the fans with the club"
"The piss taking party stops here"
"Its your club ( the fans) we are just custodians"
"We will be open and transparent"
"We need the fans, we need you to trust us, give us a chance"
"Judge us on our performance"

DAMAJ are destroying our club, time for them to leave.
I have certainly judged them on their performances these past 20 months.........I'm not going to start out on a rant, no ,stop it, no don'...............
 
I honestly couldn't think of better owners. I dream about these taking us over.

Sunderland have been mentioned as a possible target for Red Bull should the business decide to expand their sport brand into England.

Ralf Rangnick, Red Bull’s Head of Sports and Soccer Development, has given an interview in German publication Bild discussing the possibility of branching out into England and adding team from this country to their portfolio that includes the RB Leipzig, Red Bull Salzburg and NY Red Bulls.

While discussing that possibility, Rangnick said that if they were to takeover an English side, it would have to be a team in League One and then gave Sunderland and the MK Dons as examples of the type of club that they would look at:

If we wanted to expand, only one club in England would make sense.

A third-tier league team like maybe Sunderland or Milton Keynes.

But problems would arise if the club pushed into international business. Then we would have the same situation as with Leipzig and Salzburg, that would not be done because of the UEFA regulations.

And to buy a club in China, I can’t imagine. That may be good economically. But athletically it’s certainly not. I do not think it is capitalist.

With Stewart Donald looking to bring extra investment in the club and the Mark Campbell takeover looking uncertain, how would you feel if Red Bull bought the club and made it part of their portfolio?

Would RB Sunderland appeal if it meant success or would you see it as the club selling it’s soul? Let us know in the comments.

Pity this was over a year ago, would have been unbelievable but we all know Donald would have got greedy and buggered it up.

Says only one team makes sense and then names two.
 
Hindsight is a wonderful thing but this should have set alarm bells ringing.
I don't think it was a case of the Spanish not being able to work with him
I think he looked at it and saw the £ signs spinning at the thought of how much profit he could make doing it himself
By all accounts the Spanish consortium had substantial funds but SD binned them in search of a quick profit
He didn't have the cash or backing to take the club forward and had no investment lined up
His intention from day one was to flip the club for as big a profit as possible

Just throwing this out there. Reports from people on here have suggested new people coming in who have plenty of funds. If it's not FPP, and I hope to God it is, could the Spanish Consortium be reigniting their interest and looking to link up with Sartori if Donald is no longer involved?

This would benefit us all and especially Donald
