with the RAWA do you mean?

No mate Charlie will not give a toss what we think or say. he will just come back and do his job, he is not here to be liked he is here to make the club a profit.

He is not liked, If as you say he’s negotiated a deal for someone to buy our club, great well done get your commission, sell your shares even better not a necessity but better if he could, as for certain he kill’s this takeover moving forward, if he hangs around the club, he’s called fans and people have evidence of that, so sling your hook Charle you ain’t wanted, he just causes problems for the new owner, if he stays in a lead role.

Plus on Charlie’s staying here to make the club a profit let’s have it right, he isn’t here for the club, he’s only here to make Charlie a profit.
It’s about his shares and a nice comfy job earning good money.
Come on Bob really !!!!
I will say it again tell your mate he ain’t welcome here.

Someone will have to run the club day to day. Sartori or KLD aren’t going to do that.

Will they choose Methven to run it? They’ll ask themselves after 2 years of running it, it’s got a lot worse under the stewardship of Methven and Co.

Methven might get an active role to start with until they can find their own man.

From the piece in L'Équipe, it looks like the most senior figure will be the Sporting Director, with a CEO reporting to him running non-football activities. Neither of those roles sounds like Methven to me.

Find it quite odd that people think Donald and Methven are capable of manipulating him from the shadows while also thinking they’re both absolutely useless. This Harvard educated son of billionaires is more naive in business than them :lol:

Is he harvard educated?
Not sure that he is being manipulated, he is buying into the club, seemingly on the advice of Sartori, who clearly has a relationship with Donald and Methven. Seems to me it's every bit as likely he wants some input from them as not.

So your saying the owner of a two-bit public affairs small enterprise isn't up to being a Sporting Director or a CEO at a multi-million pound turnover, football club that employs hundreds of people and is cherished by thousands of people he has directly slated?

Good. Because that's correct.

Not quite. I'm saying he lacks the qualifications necessary to be a Sporting Director, and he's never going to be working full time at the SoL. By the way, in corporate terms, Sunderland is an SME with potential to grow; it's far from massive, and wasn''t even in the PL days.

Didn't say it wasn't. I said it's bigger than a micro-enterprise with less than 10 people employed. Because that's the level of f***ing experience we're talking here. He's closer to self-employed than he is to managing a company of our size. And it f***ing shows, quite frankly.

Do you seriously think he has the experience to be a CEO for us? Why are you twisting for him? There's only one fact-based answer to that question.

What in what he's said makes you think he's twisting for him?

I'm not saying he does. I'm saying I can't see why he'd want to do it anyway, which makes any question of his capabilities academic. For what it's worth, I don't believe he's suited to it. If he is going to be involved, I can see it being solely within sales and marketing.
