I'm sure some fans are just happy with being shit . Not every oil country populated by Muslims are on the level of the Saudis.
If the the ruler of Dubai saw fit to buy our club, are you going to turn your nose up at us suddenly being competive and actually winning stuff ?
What if Red Bull came along and wanted to call us RB Sunderland and change the badge and strip , are we so precious that even though we are still Sunderland , we would rather be shit for ever .

Yes. I would genuinely rather we were shit than have to compromise on my principles every time I walked through the turnstiles, but if your thinking is more along the lines of the mags - you know “aaaaaa dinnit give a fook about human rights and all that shite as long as wor win some trerphies me like” then that’s your call.

How do you feel about MK Dons? That’s basically the red bull situation. It’s not as extreme as being bought as a sports washing enterprise by a gulf state, but it’s still prostituting a pretty big part of our identity.

I’ve met one mag who gives a shit about who actually owns them and that’s not stopped him going. The majority I know are no different to me and plenty of fans of all clubs. They go to watch their team. Out crowds certainly wouldn’t drop if we were mega rich winning trophies

Liverpool miles better atmosphere and better to watch in my opinion

It’s miles better than anywhere in the country on its day. City’s ground is on par with anywhere else

With us all cottoning on to the fact that maybe this is as far as KLD can take us along with Amad’s recent social media activity.

IF middle eastern investors wanted to buy us and spend their millions with the first transfer being that of Amad, how would people feel?

Would the fans turn a blind eye and get on the ride or would it never be accepted?.

Not sure where you are getting this is as far as KLD can take us from. The teams first really bad spell while he has been in charge and all of a sudden we need new owners!!

Aye I remember the compromise my principle cup , what a weekend that was .
Let's hope no-one with even the slightest black mark on their financial past ever puts a penny into the club and we remain a club drowning in mediocrity for the rest of our miserable lives .
