Of course people have a right to their view.

My view is Donald and co. are complete chancers who have treat the supporters with utter contempt on a number of occasions. It’s baffling that anyone can defend them or their performance since arriving.
There’s really nothing to defend them with tbh (not that I think he is here btw). People may point at the financials but what use are they if the club is a shell - as it so clearly is? And what use is a single decent set of accounts if you’ve slashed and burned your way to those raw numbers? You have to look at the whole thing holistically- and there is simply no credible defence for the incompetent shitshow that the Donald era has been. I make no accusations of skulduggery or financial chicanery. That was always a sideshow. The true story of the Donald era has been one of utter, blinding incompetence, astonishingly outdated views on how football works, cronyism, remarkable lack of vision, dreadful execution and a thick layer of arrogance that avoids any level of accountability. It would have been difficult to do a worse job than Donald has done at Safc and his removal from any position of influence over our future cannot come soon enough.
 
Or seen another perspective. Grumpy was slated for saying the books looked ok and he’s a good poster. Our football mistakes will cost us decent books going forward without new investment so he hasn’t got it right it’s clear, but all he’s saying mainly is the books are good and he’s not evil. That’s fair enough. I think the comments about the fan groups and fans has made a lot angry. That’s fair enough too. If he doesn’t close a decent deal for us I’ll be angry but it’s not looking far off so let’s chill.
Fair enough
 
It gives Rybovlev a foot in the door, but not so far in that he'd need to go through an owners and directors test (assuming he won't be joining the board. If Fuhrman takes Donald's shares, it gives him de facto control of Sunderland.
Is the Mastermind guy’s suggestion on the football discussion site that shall not be named feasible do you think ?
