I wouldn't recommend the club to anyone else to be honest. Stupid value, championship is ridiculous.

But Red bull could see us in the Premier with pretty much no investment whilst increasing their asset value. They already have everything required to make us a success from existing players to loan, global player and staff knowledge to a proven strategy.


Clever chap but no, he is more a specialist in increasing his own wealth.

Who is the chap you refer too?

Ralf Rangnick.

He left Red Bull after his move to Ac Milan fell through due to covid.

Any person looking to own a football club without billions of pounds would do well to speak to the chap.

He creates massive value.

I have no idea why it has gone sour with red bull as he had agreed to go and spend more time out in the states after sorting leipzig out.

A good while ago as manager. He was @riffraff recommendation at the time I think. Must be about ten years ago.

We choose someone else. He went with red bull and created something that has never been seen in the modern game and still isn't widely recognised.

Thought so. We spent a lot of money at that time with little return.

No idea whats going on but some of the lads who seem to be ITK seem positive.

If any group of supporters deserse a little bit of good fortune tis us. :)

Evening. Have not checked in for a while. Had an interesting message this morning and got round to it now. Things still progressing and a 'hurdle' has been completed and things looking much better now. No idea what the hurdle is BTW.

Hopefully not too long.

KTF.

Does seem as though if the obstacles which are currently in the way were removed this could all be closed off pretty quickly now.

If you're bored sometime go and check Leipzig and Salzburg spend and player value over the last 10 years and compare it to ours. Its great fun.

I didn't know there was any new news, what is it if you don't mind?

Ten years ago at least. SAFC lacked the vision, knowledge and ambition to appoint anyone not already on the merry go round when we were in the PL. Nowadays I wadnt be surprised if we appointed someone who’d nivver even heard of football.
Another one of my recommendations is signing/signed to Leicester instead of Tarkowski or however it goes from Burnley 18 months after leaving Caen on a freebie via St Etienne. Look on the bright side though we’ve still time to buy the 6’5” Nigerian 19yr old centre half who was on loan at Almeria last season from Turkey......unless St Etienne buy him to replace the lad on his way to Leicester.....as if.

I think extending the South and East stands will take us to 65,000. Another tier on the West Stand so it would be 3 tiers would take it to 75,000.

Fully appreciate fantasy football but if and a big if there are any rich people looking at us it wouldnt cost a great deal, relitively speaking, to have one of the biggest and best stadiums around as we own the land and the stadium is designed for expansion. There are very few clubs in the country in our position.

Trouble is we’re not a major city, nor located in the south of England.

Another tier on the west stand? I’ve nivver ever heard that mentioned ever and I’m not talking about crowd size wise I’m on about engineeringwise. It was nivver mentioned when ground was mooted etc. The whole place was designed for quick one summer and a bit turnarounds that’d eventually get a second tier on the three sides that didn’t have em originally.
Early 60s was I’m sure the max because the mags cant extend theres and Murray wanted them to know we could outgun them if necessary. It one brief point that seemed a possibility.....then he blew it.
 
I think 75000 empty seats would look nice. The most Sunderland thing ever would be to extend the ground when no supporters are allowed in and when they are, we at home to Kidderminster Harriers. If that doesn’t sell out I don’t know what will.

The bloke is a narcissistic attention seeking arsehole. Regularly posts shite on twitter to make him look like the big dog using stock or old photos. He told the nephew of the couple who died of Covid within hours of each other from Hylton Lane that they didn't die of covid, and said it was something else. He can get fucked tbh.
