    TL;DR - "We hired him to achieve a goal, he failed, but he got us really, really close" What a ringing endorsement of a statement. Couldn't tell if Scunny were being nice, self defeating or "he's your problem" now with that press release.
  3. Been saying for years , they are perfect for each other. Would love to see him buy them! He'd get them to the Premier League and probably have them hovering around 13th-17th like he has with us. Difference is, for them that really IS success. I'd rather they stayed where they are. To reach that level it would cost £100-150m not including buying the club. To stay at that level will cost money Sunderland have never generated. He’d have to put in £20-30m a year to keep them in the division, one slip and it’s back down and start again. If he were to buy them he’d see them in the championship living off what they earn and within their means, which is mid table championship. His hope would be to go up every few year and milk the tv money before going back down to status quo. Tbh, anyone buying Sunderland should know that is all they are good for without some serious luck in producing talent and retaining good football management. Be funny to see him bring Joe K there.
  4. Just watched it all, so this our potential new chairman? Holy shit, this is insane. That is one nice suit.
  5. "Mike Ashley isn't killing journalists, but he's killing our club" One could argue he's sucked the life out of Grim Ryder. Only positive of that podcast was highlighting how shite of an owner Ashley is.
  6. Yikes, not a good look for him. Lad is destined to finish his career in the lower leagues. Why? He's already 29, not much time left to spend in the lower leagues. Especially not for someone talented. Seems the type to fall off a cliff, talent wise. Purely anecdotal, but he doesn’t come off particularly dedicated. Talented, no doubt, maybe it’s enough for a club like us.

  8. That was a sobering read. The biggest moment in Atalanta history also the most tragic.

    this is spectacular. April 1 self isolation activity sorted.
  10. Would love to see him go into insolvency. Be great to get our club back with the most epic of karma bombs on the fat man.
  11. The man is illiterate, so it'll never leave the data room stage.
  12. https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/newcastle-fa-cup-steve-bruce-mike-ashley-sorry-stasis?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf Need more of these, along with the criticism Hope has hurled at the club.

  14. The silent soundtrack to the state this club is in.
  15. Most, like myself, know it could be the end of the club plummeting down the leagues (just look at the fucking Mackem’s). Being in the top division is an easier prospect of turning the club back to what it once was under new ownership (assumption, but a better bet than languishing in lower divisions). Staying in the lower leagues will damage our market value and the amount of chancers looking to buy a football club increases. Him not wanting to sell is more than evident if this fizzles out (as previous attempts have shown). We are absolutely fucked right now unless the ground suddenly empties week in and week out. Threatening the bottom line is all that matters. Football purgatory.

    Here they are That was grim. Other than the racist undertones of their comments, what the fuck did they actually say? Absolute drivel, similar to SAFC football.
  17. You'd like to think so but I'm afraid you're underestimating the stupidity that flows in the walls of SJP right now. Stupidity is harsh, feels more like willful ignorance.
  18. It’ll be dust in the wind come mid February.
