Takeover News/Rumours

Nice to have someone with good connections as part of the club but at this moment we have no idea about his vision for the club. In an ideal world he will bring in fantastic football and business people to get the club running as we won’t but i must admit part of me thinks it’s a big plan of Donald/ methven. Ask sartori to find someone with money which keeps the fans quiet, keep parkinson as we aren’t a million miles off top 2 , in jan buy a couple of cheap players but blame wage cap for not spending more then cross fingers that parkinson gets us up then sell the club. Donald makes a profit, as do Sartori and methven and the new lad has made a profit within 12 months.

Its all im saying mate, lets just wait and see. its not like they haven't took the p*ss out of us before.
Its certainly not as odd as your made up Santori 40% figure that exists nowhere 🤣🤣

Why do you have to post like a f*cking t*t rather than just have a reasonable conversation?
 

Makes me wonder why this lad has become interested in Sunderland, has he been watching episodes of Sunderland til I die and he wants to be on the next series.
 
Am I the only one who wouldn’t feel very comfortable with a 22 year old mammy and daddy’s boy being in charge of our club?

Money without brains doesn’t work, we had that with Short and it almost cost us the entire club.
Think you need to check this lads education he didn't go to thorny school
 
Who inherited the club in League One, stopped the rot and has passed on their stewardship of the club to some very wealthy and smart people who will take us forward. Time will be kind to them, even if some can't see it now.

“bought” the club, stopped the rot off the pitch by reducing costs and selling whatever they could, ruined the academy, failed to get us promoted despite the parachute money and “best budget in league 1”. Slagged fans off and criticised fans / fan groups / media

its easy to cut costs, the hard part is cutting costs off the pitch while being successful on it still. They failed to do that, badly

Time won’t be kind to them, too many despise them
 
A 3rd season minimum in the 3rd Division and the 3 lowest finishes in our 140 year history would suggest otherwise. AND Im sure they'll end up making a profit through failure. Someone will turn this club around despite them. Difficult to see how time can turn that sequence into a positive story.
We were in 3rd when they took over. Lost in play off final first season. Covid knacked second.

Do you think Rotherham and Wycombe would have got promoted if season had continued.
If so please don't reply.

All I ask is for a bit of perspective. SD tried his best.

I always knew it would be tricky, and ugly getting out this league. Been proved right.

Some blame SD for all our problems, accumulated years before he arrived.

Yes, lowest finish ever. Second lowest starting point ever as well.

It may be his name, but I suspect someone else will be guiding him and pulling the strings

Depends. There's bound to be football people coming in, if they're good enough then his brains (not that he sounds daft) won't really be needed

Time will not be kind to them at all. They tried to flip the club for a quick profit. Filled the club from top to bottom with complete amateurs. Just about destroyed the academy and sold of its prize assets for buttons as they would not meet the day to day running costs from their pockets the way previous owners did. To top it all they have repeatedly lied to the fans about the deal to buy the club and then they've made insulting remarks about those same fans. Both arrogant and incompetent in equal measure.

They are without doubt the biggest shitstain on safc and its once proud history.

At some level SD doing what he said he would. He always said he didn’t have the cash to take the club further long term and would need to bring in other investors. I think he always wanted to flip it and bit off more than he could chew but if he does sell on to Someone with more money than sense then I think a lot of the abuse will seem overdone in retrospect

More money than sense. The ideal football club owner from a fan’s perspective!!!

We definitely wouldn't have been promoted, taking 2 points from our last 4 games in which we were f***ing dreadful
