No idea, I got told they’re in no hurry as long as done by Jan. the fanzines have been told it’s very very close.

Also got told Sartori 40% and KLD 40%

No, we most certainly do not. It's the current flavour of the month and (almost) everybody's doing it so we are too. It'll leave the taste of bitter aloes in our mouths if it costs us the chance to bring in a management team who quite rightly want to be allowed to get on with the job without someone breathing down their necks and second guessing them all the time.

You can’t see past these Cowleys can you 😂😂

That means it's not a done deal, so this fella is being paid by Birmingham and doing a job for us on the side before he's actually been appointed? It doesn't add up. Maybe as part of an interview he's made management suggestions I guess, but I just can't see how he's actively involved when you look at it logically.

So we're paying compo for an unknown Brummie?

TBF I thought the but googled it and, although they haven’t unearthed many Downings or Johnsons recently, they do have a few in their first team. Dael Fry is 23 and has played over 100 Championship games, Marcus Tavernier is 21 with 70-odd games, Coulson (22) and Spence (20) have played about 35 games as well.

Like I say, they’re probably about on par with what we have done in the last few years. Fry, Tavernier, Coulson and Spence and in the same amount of time, we could name Pickford, Hume, Embleton, Robson, Kimpioka, Diamond, Asorro and Maja.

Now it’s fair to say that Boro have managed those players better than we have but I don’t agree that they have produced more. You could argue the players they have produced are at at better level than us but even then, we could point to Pickford and Maja performing at a higher level. I would then point to the lads coming in at a slighter younger age group and we are more than likely well ahead of the Boro. Huigull, Pye, Stephenson, Spencer, Sam Greenwood, Mumba etc are all at top PL and Championship clubs. Like I said, I’ve got close ties to Boro academy and beyond the likes of Nathan Wood and Nick Hood, there’s not many who are going to go beyond where they are at the moment which is mid-bottom half of the Championship.
 
He'll make em and Donnie will sell em. A fine production line, featuring at any club but Sunderland.

Ducks in a row job. Either that, or a new announcement every day for a week.

For these purposes, I would professionally advise the former, if you can make it work.

Unlikely you can align a takeover announcement to a credible timeframe though, so just do the TD and manager together. Provide a light-touch takeover update.
