S.A.F.C. - the future

[Billy Batts]

Here's a little cracker for you although I'm definitely not putting my name on this one.

"Fuhrman will stay on as an investor but not a shareholder."

Just had that message from a lad who once told me Ancelloti was coming here instead of Moyes

Got excited there, until I read the last bit.

That’s Ford Estate man!

Silly arse me. I meant Fordfield Road near St Lukes Rd

Low Ford the nice part.

Don't know what to make of that if it's true, KLD isn't skint so why complicate future policy.

He's drinks with a recent midfield player who tells him stuff ...

.... most of which I don't post because it's often ridiculous.

Tbf I did laugh at him when he told me Defoe was coming weeks before it happened.

I was from general havelock Rd where the toff’s lived.

My Nan lived in number 37 since 1960 was there til she died 2018. I lived in Falmouth Sq for nearly 30 yrs until I got married. Great place to live.

I don't believe it mate, he gets his info from an ex-player and I don't see how he would know tbh.

To be fair I haven't been told FPP were repaid but expect that to happen now KLD is there.

"We want to create a team that is entertaining to watch…reconnecting the team with its fanbase, whose support will be so vital to our success." The takeover of Sunderland by 22 year old French billionaire-heir Kyril Louis-Dreyfus is close to completion.

'Team of all talents'

I lived in no 12 till 68 other side of the Rd did your house back onto the lockies and were you opposite Micky Coleman?

Might have been what it took for FPP to approve the takeover. That was required, right?. We might only have a day to two more for this kind of speculation.

Nan’s house was two thirds down opposite yours. The Square behind Gen havelock had a gate into the lockies/backies used to pitch a tent there when we were kids and gan Apple raiding, dare do out us Ford lads

LJ quotes, appears KLD is now 24. That's 2 years he's aged over night. Unbelievable

I've never known how old our owners were and not bothered now tbh.

This club will do that to you

Spot on. Although I will add, for me personally and probably echoing the feelings and thoughts of many, that feeling of cynicism and "aye whatever" hasn't left me since we were relegated from the premier league. I in no way, shape or form felt any connection toward the ownership following Short. I never bought into it, believed it or enjoyed it. Hindsight is 20/20 and is beautiful, but that's how I genuinely feel. Now, onto the next owner/owners elect, I'm excited. Clear plans in place, some direction and footballing people with pedigree. It's looking bright for us imo.

Ditto for me, there was something amiss from day one with Donald, with hindsight everything was amiss.

His tenure as majority owner ranks him as the worst owner in the history of Sunderland no one comes close in my opinion. That's some going in his short time at the club and not the legacy his ego ever desired. Hopefully with the new owner installed we can come to remember Donald more "fondly" as someone who knew he was over his head and did his best to hand the club to the best person out there willing to take on this sleeping giant of the game, warts and all.

Phil Babb had a good try, not sure he got the happy ending he expected though.

Looks like Babb was the one being shagged.
