Big big difference first thing KLD did was recruit a management infrastructure that other than the commercial side which has now been recently addressed is a lot more professional than the chuckle brothers efforts of financial cuts . It has taken a root and branch approach to turn the club around and reverse years and years of decline though there is still work to do to get us back to the promised land of the Premier League . The level of support and backing by the fans indicate that for the most part that the club is on the right track .

Definitely on the right track mate but in this and age for fans to think that someone can buy a club the size of Sunderland and not dip into their pockets is crackers. Football clubs are billionaires playthings now. There’s an element of sustainability but it only gets you so far.

Yeah, the injury has scuppered things. He would have gone earlier in the summer (IMHO) without it and it's hampering our chances of selling him for a big fee now.
Feels like this Southampton offer is the way to go. £8.5 + add ons and reinvest for a couple of over-ready Championship players.
Going to be an interesting next 57 hours.........

If they go to £8.5m I’d snap their hand off. We know how good Stewart is but we can lose him for nothing come January. In reality if fit he’s worth more than that but the injuries, the contract situation etc I think that would be great business by the club. That’s a lot of money for us to go and sign a striker, and remember just because later in the window clubs are desperate for signings it doesn’t mean clubs aren’t desperate to sell either.

The problem for me is not if he goes it’s if we have a suitable replacement lined up
Can’t blame Stewart he’s had a potentially career threatening injury this may be his only chance of a big payday. From where he came from potentially life changing I don’t think he will be the player he was so £8m plus would be good business Hopefully we have something in the pipeline. For me has to be someone similar with a physical presence who can give us something different and lead the line

Agree 100%. Get Keifer Moore in on loan along with Rusyn and use the rest of the money towards a CDM. If we can't get an adequate replacement, he stays imo.

Bournemouth manager on Moore's future

But asked whether Moore returning to Cardiff was a possibility, he said: "No. Right now we have three forwards, with the option also of Justin [Kluivert].

"We are happy with Dom [Solanke], with Keiffer [Moore], with Antoine [Semenyo]. I think we have different options.

"Yes [I expect Kieffer to stay at the club]. Right now, this is the situation. You can never guarantee with any player because sometimes circumstances change from one hour to the other."

The issue is the top clubs in the world n the saudi teams set an unrealistic expectation of how supporters think owners should spend their money. KLD has spent money, hes spent it on things that are likely to make us more successful in the long run. Data n recruitment teams are key to any teams success and hes invested in that. The academy should be the life blood of clubs like ours and hes investing in that.

Quick wins arent the way forward for us. For every big spending owner theres probably 10 chancers or clueless owners. We have an owner that has a vision, has employed people to achieve that vision and hes done that by investing in the right things n giving us our club back

Stuttgart tried Pierre Ekwah, but Sunderland blocks any departure for the French defensive midfielder for the moment

Its stressful but its also refreshing to know we have quality players that other clubs actually want

Said to my dad for yrs that we could never offload our players as they were poor, now we finally have players others want - will def be a few bumps in the road but the future is def bright

Agree mate but unfortunately that unrealistic expectation has became reality. You have clubs like West Ham who aren’t even guaranteed top spending hundreds of millions before even selling Rice.

It’s only sustainable up to a certain point, getting out of L1 isn’t really difficult even though we made it look like it was - there’s not a hope in hell any club can survive in the PL if their owner doesn’t spend anything beyond what the club profits in revenue. English football and the amount of money being spent is beyond repair.
