Takeover News/Rumours - Part 42

Not open for further replies.

I'm alright with Johnson tbh. The critical thing is that a SpD is brought in and that they get their man. Lets face it, a young manager who has had a team around the top half of the league above isn't too bad a shout on the face of it. Wouldn't necessarily be my choice but the reality is that any new manager is highly likely to be gone within 18 months regardless. So let's not lose our shit over this one.

On the flip side you could argue that a cheap appointment will.just highlight that absolutely nothing fundamental is going to change as a result of this "takeover". It also possibly suggests that donald is still dictating things to a degree which just isn't an option for me.

There's very little chance of Johnson being a cheap appointment. It all depends on who is doing the hiring. There's no real evidence that it's Donald hiring as things stand. Indeed people who may well have heard stuff indicate the exact opposite.

If Donald or Methven are still calling the shots or have a significant say on matters moving forward after their catastrophic failure and lies that's me done.

I renewed in the fear the club could go, and hopefully getting back to the SoL soon but the way these tossers have lied and tret people at the football club while selling our future for a pittance on flogging academy players, I'm not putting another penny in.

All I've read is Rodwell is part of the process. What you heard?
 
I'm in no hurry for us to appoint a new gaffer.
I'd much rather the takeover is confirmed first and then the new owners can have their say in who we appoint.
I was thinking the sacking of Parkinson meant that the takeover was imminent, similarly to when Short bladdered Coleman before The Chancer took over.
I'm not so sure now. Whatever it is that's going on behind the scenes I really hope it's not been fucked up in a typical spectacular Sunderland failure. Won't hold me breath like.
If they appoint another dullard now it will be a disaster.
There's not many realistic candidates that will unite the fan base and this is a big worry. Gotta hit the ground running and try and turn around the fortunes of this once great football club. Big ask but not an impossible task. Fingers crossed and that.

Best way to unite the fanbase is via results mind. With the stadium empty there's a fairly unique opportunity for even a less-fancied candidate to get fans onside

Couple of people who get snippets are indicating on here that it's very much a new regime decision. Usual caveats apply but they're generally people who don't bullshit for the sake of it

If it is the new owners then they need to come out sooner rather than later and announce the takeover, DoF model for the Club or not.. At the minute its appears that the Chancers in Chief, his sidekick and Ridwell are calling all the shots. If its Dreyfus and Sartori then let everyone know who the DoF is..

Totally disagree we need the new guy in ASAP it will take time to adjust to a new style and new ideas etc and were already slipping behind as it is

New guy needs to be in for Saturday and he has to hit the ground running quite frankly

If the takeover is as close as reported the new guys will be picking the manager - which they are

I feel very much the same mate. I also renewed, but there (potentially continued) presence is a huge issue for me.
