Short not stupid. There will be something about any sale and monies owed I would imagine. Anyway all this just speculation. Hopefully if any truth just some wealthy investors looking to come on board for our Championship promotion push next season.
I’m absolutely certain he isn’t stupid. Until it comes to football.
 
To those saying Donald and Charlie don't have the funds to take the club on and into the PL. I don't honestly know this but have the likes of Sheff Utd, and Norwich etc. ploughed millions in to them where they are now?
 
There’s no way they’ve invested that amount of time and effort in one year, just to sell up in the summer.

I fully expect Donald to give it a few years, get the club into a solid state financially and try to get us back into the premier league and THEN sell the club.
 
The same people with him in the Hilton before the game were shown around the Black Cats Bar.

I know as I nearly walked into them carrying two plates of cottage pie...
 
Unless this thread is one massive in-joke and I have been whooshed, I am shocked by the indifference with which people are greeting the possibility of Donald and Methven leaving the club. They've been an absolute godsend to the club and I really feel that they are now embedded within it. I think the prospect of their leaving the club to a bunch of unknown money-men is a frightening one. I sincerely hope they are simply garnering further investment.
let's not get carried away here they've steadied us both on and off the pitch nothing more
there's owners and chairman all over football that could have done the same job
if this is true and he is selling up he has been in it for short term self gain with a massive return on his investment
 
I wonder how much more marketable STID has made us? Loads of people where I live (not Sunderland) and who I work with have loved watching the show and have a new affinity for us.

It’s maybe opened the eyes of a few money men round the globe as to what could be achieved with the right backing.

How much did we know about Donald and Methven?
 
A takeover or further investment is ok if Methven and Donald remain as the men running the club.
do you really think Stewart donalds ego would allow him to be answering to someone else if he sold his % of club and was just a chairman on a wage because I don't think so
 
Would imagine Stewart and Donald would love to stick around and take the club back up to the highest level but we all know they would need further investment fornthat to become a reality whether that’s Sartori or/and another. They have done a great job as has the doc to help raise the profile of the club despite our double relegation. They are business people though and if they could sell and make a tidy profit then for them it would be a job well done.
Stewart AND Donald!
 
My initial feeling would be fund-raising rather than a sale. Maximises their return while allowing them continued control.

I was fairly pleased with how things were going tbh :lol: but that's business.

EDIT: Be interesting to see how they react to this.
