Pocket what he can and skedaddle before the administration... that the possible scenario then?

There's a world of difference between defending his level of investment and defending his ridiculous non managerial appointments.

He's a campaigner Des, a revolutionary. Investing £300m or changing an avatar, which is more likely to bring about success?

There are two ways it can change and you're completely discounting the possibility it could get worse.

Be careful what you wish for has been said on here and I did agree with it to some extent. If we get Chinese owners which I doubt we will it would be a disaster imho, and who else is out there with the money we need? It's painful to think that we could end up worse off with a new owner, but possible.
He needs to go and find a buyer quickly it could turn very ugly soon I think.

If he sells things,turning them in to cash,then they won't be assets on the balance sheet.

A man at the top of a company you would think would be informed about what was going on. If this person didn't know what was going on then surely he shouldn't be there in the first place. So why would you pay money to somebody to be a scapegoat? Somebody must know the answer to this question. Here lies the answer.
He has to be forced to take the hit

I saw this thread last night after I returned from the match, but with emotions running high, I decided to wait till this morning to post.
Three points......
1) People need to stop this "administration is a good thing" crap. It's not. It will almost certainly relegate us and Christ knows where we will end up.
2) I have no issue with a demo over how the club is been run, but this is not the place to organise it. The reality is; the vast majority of posters don't go to the match and for that reason, anything arranged via these pages will be doomed to fail.
3) Despite what happens off the pitch, we need to support the 11 lads on it. Yes protest against Short etc, but make sure we back the team. I know everyone is sick, but this mass walkout every time we concede needs to stop. It's not helping anyone.

Exactly.
He should be grateful for increased debt, relegation, and what looks like an uncontrolled plummet towards oblivion.
Ungrateful get. Some people eh.
I'm all for a new improved owner and have been for years, since it became obvious we were aiming to tread water at best ..... sadly the fate of many clubs in the PL.
I've seen various clubs, such as Palace, supposedly 'forging ahead' whereas the reality is that even recent champions, Leicester, are more likely to be relegated than ever win the title ever again. As Mike Ashley recently admitted it's just not worth the risk attempting to do anything with 'big ambition', that supporters crave.
Sunderland are in a mess but the queue of serious buyers, who really want the club, seems to be less than 1 ...... if the best option is to force the price down so low that some half interested consortium decides to 'take a punt' then we'd end up little better imo.
Short was the best chance we've had in decades but his appointments have failed as have the players they brought in. His responsibility, at the end of the day, but he tried for a club of our stature.
I'm all for genuine protest and laugh at suggestions that anyone is worried about appearing to look like Mags. But, at the same time, some of the suggestions on here are worse than anything they dreamt up ...... some of them are pathetic tbh, no better than poking your tongue out at the nasty man.
People sitting on a laptop, doing nothing, while calling others apathetic is irony at its best.
TBF though it's hard to know what to do for the best, protests would have very little effect other than on the team which is why many are wary of taking that route imo.
Short wants out and, as @Grumpy Old Man keeps pointing out, there are few options for him either.
The only way is to stop going to the matches. Can you imagine the impact of an empty stadium on the value of a club. It will never happen of course but the one thing Short does understand is money.

That would hurt the club and the fans much more that it would Short. The club is in serious financial trouble and I can't believe (well yes I can) that some people are advocating starving it of even more money in the forlon hope it will somehow hurt Short. Short can take the hit of a few £100m, unfortunately SAFC can't and I want to still have a club to support when he eventually does leave.
