KLD and JS are not the issues at safc. FFS KLD has literally got us out of this hell hole that we called league one for 5 year. They are aligned.

We need to be careful. It could be loads worse. KLD has proper people around him and frankly, this random and quick turn on him due this this crypto ****e that Tom has peddled is ridiculous. JS is a carry over from the madrox era I agree but he has actually made a couple of key interventions too. Sure Bob or someone else can elaborate of needed.
Cheers
 
Sorry but I can’t agree with a lot that is being said about JS. What has he done for this club that warrants us to trust him and what has he specifically done that has benefitted us as a club? Being mates with KLD and hugging him doesn’t get him off the hook for me!

I get that Chris from WMS is pretty negative and could see why that would upset people but is anything he has said or written been disproved?

I don’t think he’s done anything for us to love him or even appreciate him, but nor should he be some hate figure.

If Sartori was arriving now and buying D&M's shares I'd doubt there'd be a big problem.

As things stand he's not attention seeking, backs KLD and puts his money in.

I can handle that from a minority shareholder.

Damm straight. Alignment with the key player too. That's it. People forget. Imagine if JS went with Donald.

Would we have a new pitch ? Would we have professional , new approach to academy, data, keeping players, promotion?

No. We wouldn't it would he like it was before. If it moves , sell it.
 
Ya know when you said that I thought of an interaction I had with Chris Wetherspoon. I’ve just worked out he’s wisemen say as well. He’s vehemently against satori, I’ve been questioning him on this as well !

he's written some great articles, he's a good writer full stop. but he's on a full-on crusade against anything Madrox, which I can partially understand, since Donald did mention him by name in one of the podcasts, but I did hope he might have dropped it after the playoffs. He's entitled to his opinion, of course, but I get the feeling that if Sartori proved tomorrow that he'd put a 1 billion pound gift into the clubs account, he'd still find a negative. Too invested in the public drama of it all and needing to be vindicated.

I’ve got to challenge this, how do we know he’s put money in and if he has how much? Pretty sure the Echo ran a story on net spend in League 1 since we dropped into it and we had a negative net spend of £30million!!

unfortunately to a lot of people they’ve even painted KLD with that brush now. They won’t be happy until there’s a complete takeover and anyone who has even looked at Stewart Donald is gone

There are three Sunderland supporters who are very big fans of Donald.

Having stupidly targeted his daughter the lucky trio were relieved when Donald just laughed, said 'boys will be boys' and didn't report the kidnapping to the police ...

... to be fair once he'd got the tie wraps and KY jelly off her there was hardly a mark on the young lady.

I believe the shareholders have to put in a pro-rata amount based on their shareholding.

I'll check that.
 
Thanks for the reply, probably not worded well on my part, I wasn't fishing for info, just a feel of what it's like in boardrooms pre match etc.

In your opinion, having spoken to them at Wembley, what would the chances of having a meaningful discussion about shares etc be in a situation like that?

I would imagine impossible?
Totally no one discussed passed the final whistle.
I honestly think this is a massive wind up
