Satan will rise from the ground to play in it. They probably put a clause in his contract when he sold his soul to the devil.

Short just reminds me of Fat Freddy after he started losing it. IE he'll spend money but make poor decisions that means the investment sees no real return. The only thing I'm envious of is that they spend money but then the majority of other Premiership owners/chairmen do that so it's not a unique trait to him. We seem to have the only owner who could but doesn't (I don't know the ins and outs of Everton's finances to compare Kenwright).

In a perfect world I'd prefer a system like Real Madrid/Barcelona have with president elections.

I'd rather have any other Premiership owner than Ashley. That's not to say Ellis Short has done any thing amazing with Sunderland. In fact Ashley with his 5th place finish and European football achieved more by accident than Short has intentionally.

You're half way in understanding my argument. It's progress I guess, so I shall cheer you on. Now compare those to the ones from before he took over. Then, do the same to ours and consider which club has improved under their new owner, and which has regressed. There's a good boy. Your argument has no logic. They're going backwards.

10th > 13th > 17th Not going in the right direction in my book.

Man City's and Chelsea's are even worse. We better tell them that next year's Premiership table will be based on accounts posted, not points gained on the football pitch. Probably why Sunderland have fallen just short of those two. Way to miss the point.. I haven't said their entire setup is better than ours, just that as an owner, he is pulling his weight and not afraid to go in a different direction if things don't work out. Simple question: would you prefer Ashley or Short as our owner? Can I say neither? You can throw all the money in the world at managers but if the managers you appoint are constantly s*** it isn't going to do much (see Souness, G). As I said before, at least Ashley has got one important thing right with Graham Carr. If Short came here, appointed poor managers and gave them lots of money so spend on average players would you be happy? You mentioned earlier 'Imagine Short giving money to Carr' but ignored the fact that Short could have appointed his own chief scout who has those contacts/ability and Sunderland would be flying. He hasn't which is why despite making a lot of money available they are no further forward than us despite us gifting them our relegation to move out of our shadows and be well ahead of us. Short like Ashley has consistently made poor decisions which is why neither club are where they should be. Short has just appointed a new chief scout and a new manager. Let's see how it goes before blowing our own trumpet. I would say as a proposition we are far more interesting than Sunderland too, although the gap is fast being bridged. What top class managers would have come to Sunderland five years ago, or even now? The bottom line is they are moving in the right direction slowly but surely, whereas we are moving in the opposite direction. And no, you can't say neither as that would mean we would have no owner, and therefore wouldn't probably exist.. There's no evidence of this at all yet. All you can say is that they're trying something different after the last two attempts failed badly. There isn't? Have a look at their average league position in the years before Short took them over vs ours before Ashley took over, than have a look at recent league final positions. 17th? If any thing they were doing better under Bruce than they have recently. Definitely gone backwards.

Jamie Redknapp apparently.

Streams and football clips for all!

People were taking the piss.

Pardew: 'I'm gonna play a strong line up' GOSLING.

Can see someone justifying their bigotry by saying the word they used isn't on that list

If he has to go to Loftus Road then his beloved telephone must be in the shop for repairs.

So goes against the reports that Milan don't want to sell? I hate this transfer window

Rangers fans despise him as well.

WON'T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE BALANCE SHEETS?

The transfer policy has only paid off once (when we finished 5th) and even then we were short of what we needed. It's faulty and needed to be changed ages ago. Ironically this playing hard ball policy would be much more effective if the squad was kept well stocked with quality in all areas instead of when we desperately need players.

Yeah. You can't take another part time job as you have to be their bitch. Also means you can go weeks without a shift (and being paid).

At least he's consistently crappy across all his ventures.
