No more can be done in that department. The whole world has seen the potential. The fans, the infrastructure etc all done through the lens of two well connected fans. It has even helped persuade two Hollywood stars to buy a club in Wales.
There isn't anything else that can be done to promote the asset of SAFC anymore, it's all out there. Apart from getting promoted and SD and CM f***ing off.

Surely with the contacts KLD has he should be making representations to get them interested?

Marwood seems like he has some kind of indirect input, I can’t believe we can’t make a bloody good case to get some proper wealthy backers, especially given what’s gone on up the road.

One of the things that appealed about KLD was the idea that he’s linked to some serious wealth. Yet here we are with the 3 chancers and f***ing Billy Storey back on the scene.

We’re Sunderland AFC, being kicked around by potless pound shoppers, whole thing is surreal.

I’m totally lost with all this, I’m. It sure who owns what, who pays into what, or who actually runs the club… lost.

So are we also just going to sell out to a rich Arab as well now? I'm not opposed to a new wealthy owner but don't want anyone who is using us to distract from ongoing killing of kids like, fuck that

It's not happening so there's no need to worry about it mate.

Stuck with our own muppets for the foreseeable.

I don’t know the financial ins and out but unless he gets 51% I think he can’t force the others to sell. So he may have taken what he can in terms of shares with potential people coming in if we get promoted and Maddox get what they believe they should get for a second division club.

They only recently withdrew from the war in Yemen. They are however continuing to support the war by other means.
Their record on human rights whilst it’s not as extreme as the Saudis still leaves a lot of room for improvement.

Harping on about how the mags are morally bankrupt for their whole takeover, and the slightest inclination that a investment fund linked with the Abu Dhabi government (who also dont have a great human rights record) everyone flips their morals and nows its sound coz trophies.

That’s the thing, we could the same about Manchester City as well if we were going in that direction, but given the trophy’s and success, i guess the boot would be on the other foot then.
