If we weren’t for sale they’d have just came out and said it. Every club, in fact everything, is for sale at the right price.

The first stage of the forum upgrades has now been completed but they remain in a degraded state and are still being worked on.

Usually sceptical of these things but the fact that 1) They specifically detail a named investment bank and materials being circulated and 2) the club have gone to the effort to comment on and play down without denial what is pretty much a 2nd rate online article makes me think there might be something in this

Not bothered in the slightest, very unimpressed with the attitude from above in recent months.

Ah cmon man yeh the ticketing side has been ropey at best but the rest of the operation has exceeded all expectations by an absolute mile

Also got to consider to really get higher value, it'll take success or moving to a level thats probably quite unattainable without huge investment in infrastructure and some luck.
They'd bow out now for huge profit if they have the chance unfortunately I reckon.

Club were quick to bounce it back so that tells me there’s an element of truth in it.
Usually they can’t find the comms dept if it was sat on their arse cheek

All smart business men have a plan A and Plan B which they are developing in the background. ( Unlike Regis who does not seem to have any plan at all apart from " deep thinking") They dont wait for Plan A to fail before investigating plan B. It has to be already in place ready to go.
KLD will have analysed the data and knows if he is unable to attract a top tier coach for next season then RLB will take us down and he will lose 100's of millions of pounds.
He has a limited window of opportunity as value will start to plummet if RLB presides over the first ten games of next season.
Every football club is for sale 24/7. It's more investment but a percentage of shares for this price. Even you can buy shares in the club 365 days a week 24/7 if you want to.
When was the last time we were in this good of a position? And we have an owner who isn't sportswashing or gambling with the club's future. It'd be very likely a bad thing if we were sold.

How the fuck do the Colombians get pure gear all the way across the pacific man
Is this why the manager randomly has had his job questioned do you think?
Around the horn, DDTW, around the horn.
I have trouble believing he likes Sunderland. All negative thoughts.

With Reform now in charge I wouldn’t blame any player demanding the option to leave this Summer. The club will really struggle to attract the best players now….

When did they get in like?
Thowt the appeaser was still in No 10?
He was last neet like.
Moelis covers the entire spectrum from outright acquisitions to transactions involving minority stakes.
If the owners have retained their services to get an update on the valuation of the club, not because of a pending sale, but to boost the morale of key stakeholders including Xhaka that they have made the right move coming to Sunderland.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the new valuation of Sunderland puts us in the top tier of Europe given the great disparity between the Premier League and the other top leagues of Europe. This information may also be required to calculate the bonuses to RLB and Xhaka, etc.
Fee structure for Moelis. They’re considered as a high-end firm. So the good news is we are quality long gone are the days of scraping by in League One.

- Structure: Fees are predominantly "success fees" paid upon deal closure, often incorporating a declining percentage as deal size increases).
- Retainers: Monthly retainers can range from $50,000 to over $100,000, particularly for complex, long-term engagements.
- Transaction Examples: Fees are tailored to the complexity; for example, one documented case showed a "$2.52 million sales transaction fee" for a specific mortgage servicing transaction.
- Market Position: Moelis is considered a high-end advisory firm (top tier), placing its fees in the upper quartile compared to middle-market firms.

An inconvenient and uncomfortable truth
Football ( players, managers, clubs themselves) are all about the money as are many things in life
As fans we get misty eyed thinking and talking about our club ( past present and future )
Like most owners ( both KLD and Sartori ) are from billionaire families and altruism is a trait in very low demand.
If we do get taken over lets hope it is an owner with deep pockets to match the fine words they all spout
