The Pom Pom squad needs to stand down. I've grown weary of references to Graham and Grigg, the Model, the data, valuation, and KLD's resources and connections.

After dropping out of college and washing out of a football academy, a 21-year-old kid asks his mommy if he can buy Sunderland AFC. Margarita thinks that's a great idea because her son needs a hobby since he has acquired no employable job skills. But do it quickly, she warns, because I am about to mortgage the company to borrow $1 billion from Credit Suisse to buy out minority family shareholders.

Credit Suisse collapsed in March of this year.

I suspect Elaine from Seinfeld is the only member of the Lewis Dreyfus family with significant liquidity.

It is no coincidence we have an underqualified director of football whose only prior experience in football was involvement at varying levels of some other clubs' youth academy.

Mobray had the squad playing like a band of brothers last season, overachieving despite the model.

The over-adulation from the deluded segment of the fan base has stoked Kristjaan Mediocre's ego to the point that he has unsettled and unbalanced the club.

Should have done an apprenticeship in plumbing like all the other young billionaires. The lad was born into and has inherited billions, what the **** is he going to do employment wise <laugh>.

I mean there is a lot of ****e in there but employable job skills ffs. The lad could never work a day in his life and be fine. And I'm not sure about anyone else but there is only one reason I work and if I already had all the money I would ever need I wouldn't be worrying about my employable jobs skills either!

You'll catch a few with that, but personally think you need to wind it back a little. Too obvious at the moment.

Interesting story as I know 2 lads who's dad's are billionaires (co-owners of a top 100 construction company in the world)
Both lads work in the business and both started out as labourers, then progressed up the ranks (admittedly quickly).

One of the dads told me that it was important that his son learnt what work was like for 99% of the world and he would never have just given his boy a job and huge salary without him starting at the bottom.

Suggest you check the date on the article and net worth of MagsLD. You can also check out the main business area with events in Ukraine leading to record profits and calls for a windfall tax on them in France. You should able to make your own mind up on the LD family financial position rather than be lead towards a conclusion by the poster.

As I said mate, I read it and have no idea what it meant, there was lots of words about borrowing money and that's about it.

I haven't given the LD family finances a thought to be honest

Edit. And I don't even know what they make money from. All I know is his dad owned marseille and had connections with Adidas

Don't think it's unrealistic either. Did himself damage going to Chelsea and needs to rebuild his career. What a place to come and do it. Lots of youth to work with and plays exciting football. He would still need a ready made striker though.

We wouldn’t need him then though, would we?

I agree mate, we've had some crafty and subtle WUMS overview the years but this is woefully inadequate ...

... I'm aware that some people are bored, confined or disturbed so I always try to have a little sympathy.

It's sad that some people have absolutely nothing better to do in their lives.
