Agree totally. Remember netflix agent they signed Griggs it's just who's available not if they would work for Sunderland no metrics or analysis , reckon at least months back ground before we spend a million or more. If we lose out so what , we have been stung too many times

Grigg wasn’t available, that’s why we paid massively over the odds.

To be fair under Di Fanti we identified some good players, we just couldn't get any of them to sign and ended up going down the list and signing shite!

f***ing hell. So he bollocksed on about signing Edinson Cavani, couldn't get him, so came back with Jozy f***ing Altidore instead, and that wasn't on him?

We should appoint a DoF, but unless that is backed up by a proper long term strategy, and unless the right calibre of person is appointed, it's pointless. De Fanti was a clown.
 

There will be change like but i just think anyone thinking the old regime will have influence are deluding themselves

Satori is basically just bringing a mate in. Just like Donald did with the 2 other idiots at the club

Seen nothing to get remotely excited about personally

People with more money than Donald making their own decisions.

That’s enough in itself to be pleased about.

I mean this is the naivety I’m talking about like in a post. Just blind faith in nothing. CM has no right for a say in Sunderland based on this post but he does. Satori is bringing his mate in, it’s hardly a external takeover.

He wasn’t majority shareholder, defo wanted to flip the club for profit too. I hope this new consortium just utilises their connections at the minimum.

But now majority shareholders. Two very wealthy people with the money to take us forward. Very different to what we have at present. Not excited but enthusiastic.

Aye let’s not remotely get excited about a billionaire with great football connections taking the majority stake off the club off a car insurance salesman from Oxford.

This is exactly what we’ve been crying out for and a clear improvement on the current shitshow. Absolutely ludicrous to say it’s nothing to get remotely excited about.

Louis-Dreyfus will be majority shareholder and will therefore have more power than the rest, including Sartori.

Yeah he will of course but how do you know they’ll have no say? You think the 3 idiots are keeping 41% of the club for no reason

Its what they wanted with the yanks

I’ll be happy when they have no say in Sunderland but not sure it will be any time soon

Sartori hasn’t exactly splashed the cash has he ? I remain to be convinced by this hope I’m wrong just sickened at the fact the 2 wankers still hanging around like a bad smell.

If this new lad buys the reported 60% he is the new majority shareholder. He makes the decisions, he is the owner. That not being naive, its a fact

I don’t, I’m just hopeful.

Hopefully this kid is a smart businessman with good contacts and takes absolutely no notice of Donald and Methven.
