SAFC Current ownership…. the thoughts of SAFCBlog
Aside from the fact that we are struggling a bit on the pitch, the topic of our SAFC current ownership is a bit of a talking point at present. I’m of the firm belief that Parkinson is the right man for the job, we also have enough quality in the squad and we will ultimately achieve our aim of automatic promotion. Our league position is ok, (not great, but ok), I’m confident that after the next two league games, (both at home), our position in the league will be very healthy. In recent weeks, it’s fair to say that the ownership of the club, investment, takeovers, loans, debts, intentions of owners /investors are all key talking points? Somewhat ironically a regime that lauded transparency as a key facet, now seems to be offering very little in the way of communication? Rightly or wrongly a lack of facts/information inevitably leads to speculation increasing.Stewart Donald Sunderland owner
To be fair to Stewart Donald he did an hour on the radio tonight, whilst he came across well, (he’s a good speaker), I was a little bemused that the vitriol, threats, need for bodyguards due to fans comments, turned out to be he decided to have a break. Family rightly comes first – but I’m baffled that for 3 weeks, the public perception is he’s getting a torrent of abuse from fans? Whilst this came from Charlie not Donald, surely it would have been prudent to put a statement out? It may be that the lack of club statement, lack of police statement, the fact he’s always treated like a hero at away games etc, made people question the situation? Who knows? Game of opinions as always. As aforementioned, fair play to him for going on the radio, and also fair play for him acknowledging that people’s opinions will differ. I just find it bizarre that Charlie was telling anyone who would listen that the fan abuse is awful, and now … it’s ermmmmmmm not! Tonight’s radio broadcast aside, I’d already pretty much written this article – so with full respect to it being a game of opinions, I’ll crack on regardless. I’ve not got the financial know-how to offer any credible opinions on the fiscal position of the club, but…. I’ve been round the block and my gut feeling is not the best…. Sunderland is a tough city, populated by some really good people, for me Charlie is a bit of an anomaly – I couldn’t care less that he was schooled at Eton, (good luck to him), but his PR has not always been the best?
