Who employed Speakman ?
Who more or less begged LJ to be our manager ? ( His words not mine )
It won’t have been our young owner that’s for sure.
You know who employed Speakman and LJ, don’t you ?
Same as I do.
LJ made clear he spoke to KLD before being offered the job.
 
There are serious questions to be asked of him for keeping Johnson after last season's collapse and even more questions to be asked after keeping him after the Rotherham and Sheffield Wednesday games, but if Johnson is still in the dugout for Saturday then KLD is proving that he has absolutely no ambition for this club whatsoever.

Starting to get far more concerned about him than I am about Johnson.
I have loved SAFC and the City of Sunderland since 1950. Lots of ups and downs like many clubs. BUT us, the fans have been faithful and loyal throughout.

Now KLD, it is your turn. Fast. I hope and expect that you have a plan in waiting. For heaven's sake, execute it now, RIGHT NOW.
On the pitch in any given moment is obviously what we care about.

But KLD has significantly modernised the club in less than 12 months. Some of it may take literally years to come to fruition.

Long term. We have to start thinking long term as well as the here and now.
True, but we must manage both. NOW.

For God’s sake show some ambition. We cannot be playing in the third tier for year after year, or the second tier for that matter. Of the top ten clubs historically, nine of them are in the Premier League and the odd one out is us!!
 
KLD said there will be times where we need to hold our nerve. With that statement alone, I can't see him abandoning the Johnson ''project''

He has no track record whatsoever to fall back on though. People need to face reality that little has changed, in fact we know remarkably little about KLD. I honestly think both Donald and Methven are still dictating a lot of proceedings.

Would not surprise me and I have thought this since the takeover happened. As long as these type of results keep happening, those two will be stinking the place out ad infinitum. A mate of mine spoke to a club official at the Charlton game and he said there are issues in the background. Must be great to have 20% between them and sitting back doing sweet FA whilst someone else pays the dough. They must have a sell by date in mind though ? If we keep failing , surely they will give up on their multi million pound dream and disappear for good.

It’s like our dear friends up the road, if things seem to good to be true, they usually are. Genuine wealthy and ambitious backers just go in for the whole club, these 2 are still stinking the place out and you can tell as the stench of mediocrity is still circulating the club. Perhaps us failing every season isn’t as bad as appears from a financial point of view, going up requires investment, in league one the overheads are lower and they know 30,000 people will always flock to see them. Perhaps the club have no real desire to get promoted?

They will never disappear until we reach the Championship at a minimum, they want a big profit and know that sooner or later we will get promoted to the Championship.

Will we? I genuinely can’t see it. Things are getting worse rather than better. We will be in league 2 before the championship IMO.
 
When I was a young un, me ma bought me an old TR7. It was one of the best cars about and much coveted, not many years before I got one but mine was a bit battered and worn, in all honesty. I loved that car, though and polished it daily. After a few months, though, I realised that it had all sorts of problems and it was going to cost me more time and money to keep it in tip top condition than it was actually worth. Besides, I was young and had much better things to do with my time and efforts. My mates, who were envious initially, started laughing at me and I realised that I was never going to get it back to the condition I wanted it to be in. I lost interest in my new "toy" fairly quickly and ran it into the ground.
None of the above happened. This is an allegorical tale.

They will play the long game, they aren't going to sell all their shares while in 3rd division. We've already seen over last couple of weeks that the prick Methven is absolutely still involved with the club, I think they've got more involvement than we might have realised. We need @Ghandi Floss and RAWA to give us an answer on the share questions ASAP.

I know for a fact he’s been to at least 2 games this season as I’ve seen him going into the stadium, here at the stadium of light and at Wigan in the cup. I agree they won’t sell their shares whilst we are in this league … but I can easily see us spending the rest of this decade in this league, I’m starting to think the whole KLD ownership is a bit of a charade.

Surprised to hear he's been at stadium on a home game mind, honestly think someone will take him out if he bumps into wrong person and he will.

We will see what KLD is made of in next few weeks and how ambitious he really is. This can't continue with Johnson, its going to come to a head very soon IMO.
 
Ok, genuine question for you. Lets say KLD sacks Johnson. Who does he hire to appease the numpties on the SMB?
