Is KLD just a farce?

[Sunderland06]

You've drank the cool-aid

There is no process. It's Streaky-speak.

This is part of the issue for me, a lot of clever talk but not much action.

 

[parttimer]

given all the success johnson has had in his career..why do you think he wont succeed in future?

why..whats the problem..we are second in the league with loads of injured players?

What the actual? Really? Those in the room that you hadn't yet lost, that's the sound of them getting up and leaving.

 

[Pilly]

For me our worst performers in our poor patches have been players from previous regimes. When you look at players brought in I’ve no complaints. Do we need more players- yes. But a total overhaul of the team was never going to be completed in 1 window.

We’ve gone from signing Graham, OBrien, Mcfazdean. To Stewart, Pritchard, Cirkin etc. That’s enough evidence to me to suggest we’re beginning to head in the right direction. Long way to go like

 

[Grey Street Mackem]

There is no evidence to the contrary, some initial noise about KLD being in control, only a fool would believe anything coming out of the club.

You are complaining about the club not disclosing the shareholding and then saying you will not believe a thing coming out of the club. So if shareholding is announced you would not believe it.

 

[MackemMagic]

This place is a f***ing embarrassment sometimes, it really is.

 

[GBSAFC]

Sounding more suspicious by the moment. Looks like Donald and co still hold the power. We need investment Wigan are going out and buying players. Yes we have gone youth policy and will take a few years to take off but we need to get out of this division. Go and get what the fans deserve, just need maybes 3 quality acquisition’s. Strong dominant defender, ball winning midfielder and forward. Can’t stand another season down in this league.

I think the lack of clarity about division of ownership provokes speculation.

1 way or another I feel that we're going to learn a lot this month about the true ambitions of the club. We are still in a good position but our lack of depth and limitations in key areas need urgent action

 

[riffraff]

all of them were managers,....SAFC dont employ a manager.

Not bad. On a water muddying/thread destroying scale of 1-10 I’d say thats a sold 7.

 

[MONTYMCPHAIL]

we bought a player this window liwk,
KLD definitely holds the power like, the club is being run far too well for the otber clowns still to be in charge.

Harsh calling yourself a clown Charlie boy

 

[riffraff]

three quality signings will cost millions when you factor inw ages etc and the club hasnt got it so it must have to come from the shareholders

Will they? Inthoughtbthe data boys n girls were supposed to target bargains?

All three including McCarthy got us promoted, other than our years in the premiership, no other manager since has got us promoted that’s a fact.

Aye. I left McCarthy out cos I had a bad start attempting to turn around a runaway train. Though tbh Both Reid and Keanes predecessors had us gannin the wrong way anarl.

 

[Skandhaless]

The policy is clear - data driven recruitment the brentford way - no strategy guarentees instant results but our current best assets have all been brought in through this system.

Aye and they'll all go out the same way if we don't go up .

 

[Safc88]

and havent played him.

Aye totally agree with that. Decent amount of money at this level.

 

[kildaremackem]

Will they? Inthoughtbthe data boys n girls were supposed to target bargains?

well every club uses data so thats not much of an edge..but a signing in this league who fits into the quality bucket, rather than the unknown punt pbcket, is probably on say 5k a week, or 250k a year..do that 3 times for your three quality signings and theats 750k just for year one of their contarcts (quality signings will want longer than a year) plus their agents getting a bung and their signing on fees, and one is already in the millions, and one hasnt actually considered the matter of the transfer fee yet..

 

[riffraff]

yes they do and they drop points because of it..
Cf Rotherham

So why bring it up? Other than to derail a thread and muddy the waters obviously.

 

[Safc88]

Who’s not ready to feature in the team we need a couple of players who can effect the first 11 now.

Aye agree. We should sign players ready. However we have still spent

 

[kildaremackem]

Aye and they'll all go out the same way if we don't go up .

good and we do the brentford thing of getting a profit and buying more of the same..and it worked..brentford are in the premier league..safc..the anti brentford in terms of how transfers have been done are in league one

So why bring it up? Other than to derail a thread and muddy the waters obviously.

its releavnt to why the team are dropping points...more relavnt than the owner anyway

 

[s1black2000]

Takeover in name only

I said it at the time...we needed a complete takeover. As long as they have a stake it won't end well.
Another Sunderland thing that Sunderland did.

So we end up a feeder club and take another decade to make the top end of the championship

 

[riffraff]

Maybe because they said tickets were sold out when they had actually returned 165 tickets to Accrington. God forbid we call the club out on their many many failings. We're not all arselicking drones....

My marra lives in Burnley. He can’t afford a ST AND the travel involved to the SOL every other week. He’s been a fan since the late 60s. Seen us at home and away every season except C19 ones since he left school in mid 70s. He is absolutely fuckin raging with SAFC tonight. He wadve been home before the players were out of the showers if he’d known.

so which do you want...to plan for the championship by having young players like cirkin and neil and kimpioka getting minutes..or do what this board wants and sign jermaine defoe and clarke harris-who are not going to be useful in the champo?

This board doesn’t speak as one.
it’s never either/or in football.

eh? all clubs are feeder clubs for the big boys now,,,safc was one of those when it was in the prem? why would it take a decade to get to the top end of the champo...SAFC have more dosh than brentford..so do the brentford model but bigger...the beauty of the brentford model is its scaleable..
unlike the "spend some f***ing money" or "give him what he wants" model deployed by safc in recent years

We don't look like "Brentford but bigger" and it's the pace and volume of turnover that counts
At this point in time if we don't quite go up we could lose (or miss out on keeping ) some very promising players for very little cash and prejudice getting up even next year , there will be little consolidation and not much in the academy .
