Donald has been fairly consistent for 2 years stating they need extra investment. A full takeover has never been inferred from the present owners - not sure where that came from?

yes needed money the day they moved in but they had none! People like this should not be allowed to be in football

Am I the only one who has lost all interest? They will still be here, we are still mid table in league on, nout much will change anytime soon.

Past caring, nothing I can do about it like, just lost all passion for it.

Arguing over what percentages shareholders have n that. Over it.

I'm fairly pleased that we finally seem to have some sort of a plan. The takeover/ investment thing has lost a bit of excitement as far as I'm concerned though. From talk of FPP with great plans etc we've now got the same people staying here and one person taking more shares. KLD is rich, but lots of clubs have rich owners and do nowt so I'll wait and see in terms of how ambitious we're going to be. It must be an improvement on what we've got like, but it obviously isn't the same as what we were all excited about last year

This is exactly what they think. And you can take that as a fact.

Have you heard them say that!?They are bigger idiots than even i thought they were ....the people of the north east in general are hard working types that providing you are honest and upfront with them will accept a lot of disappointment and failure provided they think your doing your best.However we are proud folk and once you have crossed a line they will always remember and never forget.....These two festering chancres are so far over the line and the level of opprobrium they have shown to our fans and the north east in general that there is no way back.

*googles opprobrium*

Hmmm, yes, totally agree 😀

However, I fear the rehabilitation / rebranding of Methven has already begun and he will be playing a prominent role in the new structure.

To be honest think don and charlie think that they have done a good job!TBH donald has said if the fans don't want him he will go....so there is no way back for him ......Charlie however will cling on like a giant limpet turd.so we have to make it clear that there is no way back and i cannot see them ever setting foot back in the sol again.

I honestly think Donald has had enough and will disappear into the background, hanging o to his remaining shares until they are worth more.

Methven will be back in a senior role.

Yeah, my friend's brother worked as a translator/English tutor for someone on the Spanish side of Madrox. I was contacted because I was the only Sunderland fan who anyone knew (mate is from London). I was asked a few questions about us by said group, and in return was kept broadly in the loop by my friend's brother.

By the time it ended, their opinion of Donald was mud (after thinking he could be great at first, ring any bells?). It was meant to be 51% Spanish group - it was a consortium of owners, some of whom are now owners of other clubs in Spain - 24.5% Donald and 24.5% someone else (who now believe was Sartori). He tried to make it 33% each, which would have meant he and whoever the third party was would effectively be majority owners if they aligned. The Spanish pulled out and looked elsewhere.

Who knows if it would have worked out, but I do know that Short was willing to write off the entirety of the debt in April of that year as part of that deal, and the consortium would have paid for the club up front. Between them their estimate was that it would take 9-figures of their own investment to get us to the PL, and they were comfortable with that.

Instead we got a Rumbelows deal that allowed Donald to pay a small deposit and the rest he syphoned out of the club, to be 'drip fed' back in. Ugh.

I think you are right! I doubt he will have the balls to show his face at the sol again.absentee dictator would be my guess.

This. Donald, for all I don't trust much of what he says, does seem to be someone who wants to be liked. I think he genuinely enjoys the whole sitting with the crowd on a Saturday side of things. He must know now that he's never going to get that back. He might even have the self awareness to realise that he's failing and will continue to fail. As such, he might be happy to take a back seat but he won't want to lose money, hence wanting to keep some shares in case someone else can improve us. He'll sit in Oxford and hope we succeed so he can get paid and forget all about it.

Methven is a different beast. Firstly, I don't think he gives a fuck about being liked. Secondly, I certainly don't credit him with the self awareness to realise he's failed. Likely he'll either be arrogant/ self confident enough to think he's doing a great job, or he'll think anything that has gone wrong has been the fault of others. He probably thinks he can add value to his shares and thus will be pushing for as much influence as possible. I just hope that KLD (assuming he does come in) has the funds and ambition to try and get us back up the leagues quite swiftly and has no interest in listening to Methven.
