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.

I think this has been the problem with other potential buyers, Donald insisting on retaining a share.

Haha ffs man, people never learn,


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

Learn what? You’re chatting shit. The facts are right there in front of you. If reports are true, we have a new majority owner and he’s a billionaire. It’s pretty simple. But aye don’t get excited, the rest of us can thought seeing as it’s a clear upgrade.

Why on God’s name would I be expected to know Ralf Rangnick?! Jesus f***ing wept!

Wenger of f***ing course I’ve f***ing well heard of. I simply thought you had said Werner. So sue me!

You’re on here a lot. Other posters should not be forgiven for assuming a certain knowledge of the game outside of the north east in posters on so regularly. There’s no reason you should have heard of him. There’s certainly no reason to adopt that attitude because your interest in football is less than others. Calm down.

Iv'e heard of him mate. Granted, it wasn't until you mentioned him a few years back, but that's normally how these things happen ;)

I only heard of him via an Albanian labourer who knew just about everything worth knowing about football in mainland Europe. Inc which Italian clubs owed others “favours”.

He will when he gets his first shag
 
Everything ive read (not that much) about KLD is that is that he's football mad... when his mam sold up OM she insisted on retaining a small share 5% just for his benefit. His dad was apparently the same , loved the game.

The fact that this lad his thinking about moves such as this already makes me feel that we may finally have a guy with a real vision.... even a coherent plan. Because this kind of business is in something hes passionate about...close to his heart.

It could all end in a flamming wreck but when was the last time we had owners with brains and f***ing juice ... SNQ.

I'm trying not to get excited and I'd urge you to do the same... but I've got a good feeling about this one

This isn't just another spreadsheet nonce

Rangnick and Werner sound like a German comedy double act. Might as well be to me. Never heard of them. They mean nothing to me.

And furthermore can you blame me for thinking that? Does anyone know what one is? What they do? It’s a new fangled role that wasn’t probably around till about 10 years ago.

just catching up on this thread , fuck me the only comedy act seems to be you

Eric Roy, past player of both Olympique Marseille and Sunderland is the current Sporting Director at Watford.

He was also a short term SD and Manager at Nice before leaving under a cloud having travelled to South America on a scouting mission without the clubs consent.

He did however win his court case against Nice for wrongful dismissal.

Wouldn’t be a bad shout at our current level. I liked him when Peter Reid signed him and maybe he wants to return.

And he mates with @MADBOB THE MAKEM is that correct mate?
