afar Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 The funny thing is that even if they get an agreement soon in principle for takeover, there's a bunch of crap they will need to go through before they are in a position to spend these billions of pounds they undoubtedly will get such as due diligence, financial background checks and the small matter of appointing a manager. It'll be July in a few days, a mere month till the start of the season. If I were a mackem (thank good I'm not) I would be in extreme panic mode right now. The best thing for them may be that the takeover doesn't go through and Short remains, that way they will be able to focus on the task at hand otherwise it'll be another month at least of limbo.

Exiled in Texas Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 There was no way Klinnsman was ever giving up his SoCal life for Wearside. He commuted back/forth to his Germany National Team commitments, but he likes his life in California too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Like a carbon copy of our 09/10 pre season this. In some ways yes, but we had big advantages they don't. Firstly we had a squad that was more than capable of competing in that division. Although we had a reluctant owner, we weren't financially crippled too. Then we got lucky and stumbled across a manager that had previously not shown he had any skills for the job in previous caretaker roles for us or anyone else. The division was also a lot weaker back then, really it was only us, WBA and Forest that at any point in the season looked likely to go up. Hopefully they have that attitude that it'll all be fine in the end, because it won't be if they continue to mill around with no interest from the owner, a limited experienced coach as their caretaker manager, no squad and an complacent fan base. Honestly right now they are more likely to go down than up, I'm surprised they are not up in arms more, it's like the Germans will make all their problems go away kind of attitude, well good luck with that.

Paully Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Curiosity got the better of me and I've read both this and part of the supposed take over thread. The absolute bitterness towards us/Rafa is simply fascinating like it's on levels I wasn't aware of. And the take over thread, Jesus it's. Well. It's basically like my da will chin you're da, with that many people supposedly ITK and private messages seemingly flying about / grown men begging for private messages. One so called ITK we're gonna be owned by multi billionaires out spending city bla bla, the next nahh mate we'll have 15mil tops. It's eye aids of the highest degree and I think my IQ has dropped lower than it previously was. Never again. Ha ha! I've just had a look and the Rafa thread is on to page 35 now and the bitterness levels are through the roof! One claims that he'd rather have Grayson as manager :lol: What a bunch of utter doylums!

Paully Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Sunderland will welcome Scottish treble winners Celtic to Wearside on Saturday 29 July 2017 in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Stadium of Light. Both clubs share the same principal partner in Dafabet and in recognition of this, the game - the first pre-season friendly to be staged at the stadium since 2008 – will be known as the Dafabet Cup, with the respective trophy awarded to the winning side. As well as the milestone of 20 years at the Stadium of Light, 2017 marks the 50th anniversary of Celtic’s historic European Cup win in Lisbon, when they became the first British club to lift the prestigious trophy. The legendary team, known as the Lisbon Lions, have been invited by Sunderland to attend the game in recognition of their achievements in 1967. The passionate Celtic fans are renowned for travelling in large numbers and Wearside is looking forward to welcoming a big visiting crowd and creating a celebratory and vibrant atmosphere between both sets of fans. Fans will be able to enjoy family friendly and special season card holder pricing, with junior season card holders able to take in the action for free. The iconic home of Sunderland hosted its first game on July 31, 1997, representing the beginning of a new era in stadium building in the UK. To this day, it remains one of the best modern stadia in Europe. Sunderland ambassador Kevin Ball, who captained the Sunderland side in that game against Ajax, is delighted that Celtic will be visiting next month. He said: “To have Celtic here to celebrate the 20-year anniversary, almost to the day, will be a very special occasion for everyone involved with Sunderland. “The two sets of fans share the same principles of loyalty and passion for their clubs and both teams have long and proud histories. It’s fantastic that Celtic have accepted our invitation to share this special day in what is also a very special year for them with the anniversary of the famous victory in Lisbon. I have no doubt it will be a great game, in front of a full house and something both Sunderland and Celtic supporters will love.” The game will also be the largest gathering of former Sunderland players in the club’s history, with many of the stars of the last twenty years set to attend. Kevin Ball is looking forward to seeing some familiar faces, adding: “Bringing together former players and club legends will really make the day special. Recognising and celebrating our history, whether it is recent or long-standing is something that is hugely important to us and keeping our former players actively involved with the club ensures that we retain a strong connection with our history.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Can't believe they're getting £5m for Borini. Along with Pickford and the probable sales of Kone, Ndong and Khazri, they might raise a decent chunk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
