The hotel will make money and has done. Which will likely offset some of the football club losses. If you run the club well maximise commercial opportunities to offset losses with good management and a bit of investment over 4-5 years you could have a club ready to challenge for top half of the championship ready for a rich buyer looking to get a potential premiership club on the cheap. That has to be the business model.
Much like when king ken came on board.
i wonder if other bidders submitted bullshit bids which hid the truth?
Did others work on the assumption that they must have the hotel aswell?
Or did they bid for club only? (And therefore on the face of it had less attractive bids but true and accurate bids)
Basically the bidding process was complete crap.
Once FV disclosed that they would only buy the club if they got the hotel then they should have been thrown out.
That wasn’t the deal. Laughable really. If anyone of the other bidders had anything about them then they should legally challenge
I’m arsed.
one of the brightest prospects in the clubs history. Gone for free.
how much did Sunderland get for Pickford? £25m?
That covers the clubs losses for 5 years.
this is why the club is on its arse. We are dogshit at selling youth players for decent money.
I'd rather get dicked at Wycombe playing kids rather than run the risk of more punishment from EFL.
That said, they'd probably punish us for that. Useless wankers
As was put to me the other day, the process is probably still covered by NDA
So, all the negative stuff isn't coming from somebody with anything to lose by breaching said agreement
I'll leave that to others to decide who might want to paint FV in a poor light
I'm sure if FV could give their side, folk would be less twitchy
I was thinking 72/73 before Chidozie with the likes of Needham Stubbs Randall & last but not least Les Bradd a wardrobe of a player. 0-1 at theirs 2-2 at home but we won the League.
Yes - I have a good feeling about today -
am starting to think we will have either
More "Positive steps " or
Possibly "Positive signs "
Perhaps a "Big Issue " will be resolved
Stretching it a bit I know but maybe even a " Major breakthrough " is a possibility
or if we get really lucky there may be a " Significant Development " on the cards
I’m now in. If the worst comes to the worst etc. I’ll spend the day in London with the very lucky lady who became my wife (she knows nothing at all about this site)
