I think "Prime Land" and "Sunderland" shouldnt ever be in the uttered in same sentence. A crime against English literature.Here's the question then.
The SD/santori group did have their chance to buy OUFC, and chaz explanation was they didn't offer enough money and they were not going to pay over it's worth, then as soon as the pot of gold of WE evaporated they were gone, they like Tiger, like DE, like most football club owners are there for the money however it can be accrued.
They have jumped ship so to speak and are looking at another potential pot of gold that is sunderland, lets not try and kid anyone here they are going to try and make money of of their situation, and good luck with that project.
The surrounding area of sunderlands ground has some prime land, that could be a lucrative project.
My point, with all the above said would SD and the group still be interested in buying OUFC and trying to turn a profit out of it now that WE is off the table?
Take away the sentiment, SD running of Eastliegh is hardly inspiring, unless you are a journeyman manager looking for a quick pay day.
Owners of football clubs start with the aim to make money but it rarely happens, ref SD @ Eastleigh, which hasnt delivered on or off the field unless you are a aging ex-Oxford player (who wasnt liked in the dressing room) or as you say journeyman managers. His track record does NOT bode well, but I am assuming SD has learnt from his mistakes. I still find it amazing that a bloke from Long Hanborough owes AFC Sunderland.
