Well it certainly isn’t the fans. The new owners knew what they were coming into and gave it the big licks saying we would have an envious transfer budget.

All they said was that we'd have a hefty transfer budget comparable to some lower end Champ sides. We have proven that by holding onto our better players and buying players like Wyke and Baldwin etc
 

From The Echo:

"We understand Sunderland have now had a couple of bids rejected for the Wigan Athletic striker and will now make a final attempt to bring him to the Stadium of Light.
Jack Ross still wants to add at least one striker to his squad, even if no one leaves this month.
Ross isn't expecting any business to be done before this weekend's trip to Scunthorpe."

200k - rejected
201k - rejected
202k - ???

;)

Who have we hung on to that other teams have bid for? We lost Asoro and are likely to lose Maja. No one wants the rest.

He said budget, not transfer budget. It was a bit naughty the way Donald phrased it on the first podcast cos he made out as if he was talking about transfers but he later went on to clarify he was talking about overall playing budget. Our current wage bill makes us far and away the biggest spenders ever in this league.

honeyman had bids from higher league teams..mcgeady could move to celtic tomorrow if we wanted him out...

We will have to as it appears we don’t have a pot to piss in. But it’s fine because Stewart Donald tweets everynow and again.
how does it appear we dont have a pot to piss in-when we sign players for transfer fees?

"International consortium" must mean one person then...
shiow me a link where stewart said it would be an international consortium? or weher he said there would be more investors by now? i think in fact he said the opposite...the league rules mean you dont need an owner richer than a billionaire anyway as rthey cant spend the money..

I don't think the owners could be more honest and open without compromising our dealings tbh.

Dunno what people want, the Mags get told fuck all.
