I just realised that Chartle has had 4 trips to Wembley in 4 years, and the team he supported at each game lost. Talk about rotten luck

Find it hard to take any pleasure in the first two of these... even if it was the Mickey Mouse Cup!

I thought he was supposed to know more about football than all of us? Because that simply isn’t true. Yeah cash helps, a lot! But it clearly doesn’t mean everything. Look at us for most of last season.
I don’t wish any of them any ill unless they’re playing us. I think until their fans lose the big time Charlie, we have a right to win the league attitude. Start paying within their means as a club (much like us in the conference). Then they’ll always meltdown when they don’t succeed.

Hmmm... not sure how to take that article.

On the one hand he says he went to Charlton for less money but prior to that he talks about quibbling over an extra few hundred quid ??

Odd.

"There were 4 or 5 investors at Wembley and they weren't put off by the defeat."

That may be so, but Sunderland are worth considerably more as a Championship club than they are in league one. SD sold 10% of the club to Satori for £2m when they underestimated how much the running costs were. I can't see any future investor paying at a greater rate, without gaining full control of the club.

Sunderland remain a gamble that could pay out big with promotion and success in the Championship but will continue to hemorrhage cash in league one. But without the huge parachute payment they had this year it will still cost a great deal to turn around years of failure.

SD saying that he can continue to fund them at this level has echoes of DE's last days in charge and I can see him being little more than a minor investor come the beginning of the season.

Well apparently the new investors are going to be buying out Sartori as he wants out to spend more time in politics.
The parachute payment was apparently used to leverage the buyout.
 
What is going to happen once these parachute payments run dry? That's the only money there seems to be up there.

Comes across really well in that interview and is clearly a decent player. Donald and/or Charlie sound very naive when it comes to the professional game.

The couple of hundred quid being discussed was apparently to cover hotel fees for staying up in Sunderland. The sort of thing that you'd think would be covered by the club when they're looking at getting a player of that quality.

Fair play to Taylor when we played them at their place he had dyed his hair for breast cancer, he's one of those players who you hate as opposition but one of yours he's the dogs bollox bit like Maguire . Didn't know he was 29 though he was a lot younger

Lyle Taylor agreed that he went for a lower financial deal as he felt that the Charlton Board were more Professional. He had that pretty clear.
If they gave broken even this season (with Checkatrad3 final and play offs), presumably they wont need to drop their budget much next season.
With some better recruitment they should really walk the league.

If players really cared about the level of professionalism of the board, how are we attracting any players?! Taylor wanted to stay in London (nothing wrong with that).
