Every time I hear his name all I can think of is what could have been if short had done all he can and signed big sam instead of di Canio the amount of money that was spent between then and when big sam got the fuck me if he'd had that time and money what would we have been likeThis...................for years with only Big Sam as a glimmer of hope.

You blame Short for putting our club in the mess it’s undoubtedly in, but attach little or no blame to our present owners for using £32m parachute payments to buy us and then writIng off £20.5m In the process, I still haven’t a clue why
That was for @Grumpy Old Man sorry
it was £25m, and around £14m of that has come back into the club (plus anything put in after November last year.

Shall I go to Brentford at the top of the Championship, or Sunderland in League 1? Unsurprising choice.

Think we were out the equation once he got Championship interest. He knocked back Middlesbrough to go to Brentford.
Camps from Rochdale, signed for Fleetwood. Should have been in for him.

I think the lad means that Xhemajli would have already been signed if it wasn't for the salary cap. And that targeting Goode was a promising sign of improved scouting and recruitment. I don't think he's suggesting we could have competed with Brentford for Goode.

Trust me it was £32m and how can you confirm what has comeback in when you haven’t seen it for your own eyes unless you got next year’s accounts, most of that money that is supposedly put back in is almost certainly the yanks €12m they lent to Madrox.

That was more a response to someone say something was happening, but they didn't know what:
"There's something happening but you don't know what it is,
Do you, Mister Jones?"

That came into the club from Madrox, so that's money put into the club from them, irrespective of the source; in essence it's no different to Madrox borrowing it from NatWest or similar. There was an inter-group creditor of £2.4m in the accounts, owed to SAFC. However much was taken out, if £20.5m was written off, and £2.4m remained, then either £25-20.5-2.4=£2.1m (my figures) or £32-20.5-2.4=£9.1m had to have come back into Sunderland, otherwise none of the accounts would balance. It was reported in October that Juan Sartori had put in £2.4m (which reason dictated clears that year end creditor), and there was a £9m share issue in November. The numbers stack up on the basis of published information, with the exception of the Sartori input, which will need the 19/20 accounts to confirm it.
Where's your proof that £32m left the club? That's not in the accounts.

maybe he fancied somewhere he could just pop downstairs for a pint and some bait after graft, or maybe he got tired of seeing Bob with a glass to the wall.

How much did our glorious leader pay for our club £37m I think he admits to paying £5m himself where did the rest come from ?

GOM’s credibility is surely in tatters until such a time as to when he reveals exactly what he’s wearing. I’ll be treating all of his posts with the contempt that they deserve until the very same is verified.

He'd put in £11.2m by the last accounts as evidenced by the shareholder loan figure in the consoldiated balance sheet of SJD Leisure Holdings, which holds Donald's shares in Madrox. There's an other creditor number of £14.2m in Madrox's accounts, £11.2m of that is Donald (it's not intercompany as it's owed directly to Donald). The remaining £3m can be presumed to have come from Sartori. Madrox's cost of investment is £37.1m, so we have £12.1m paid by the owners (from the £14.2m owed to them, and the remaining £25m coming from the parachute. The balance of the amount owing to the shareholders of £2.1m is the amount put back into the club by 31 July last year.

Given games he could do well. He knows the place too. Wouldn't write him off just yet as think he'll have good career. We'll need someone cheap so maybe from a prem club. Offer certain percentage of games and get someone more talented in theory. We have no pace up front, its, along with goals what we need most.
