I'd love to stand up for reason, prudence and morality.

I'd love to be able to look people in the eye, in 10 years time, and say we've done it all the hard way.

But, I've had enough of watching average clubs like Man City and Chelsea boosted up to world renowned giants.

Fuck it, buy me a trophy and make it quick :neutral:

That's like Bain was to Short tho, ie he'll be doing the day to day stuff, but following orders from the money men. Just hope whoever is in charge day to day does a better job than Bain who was the very definition of useless.

IMO the new owners will install their own 'trustees' at the club to run it and report back.

Donald and Charlie will be peripheral PR figures who liaise with the supporters etc.

Likeable uncles at a wedding who do daft card tricks for the kids.

I've heard a lot about people wanting a slow and steady progression with academy products and development players coming through.

I've heard earnest pleas that we don't go down the Man City/Chelsea route and spend our way to success.

I've heard people say they want to gradually build a sustainable club over a period of years and create a new model.

I have to say I'm in full and total agreement ...

... but, in reality, bollocks to all that shit and ffs finance us to the PL title as soon as possible :lol:

It’d be a disaster if we ever won the league and were competing in the latter stages of the Champions League. It’d be horrendous in fact.

Luckily we probably won’t ever have to worry about that outcome and we can just enjoy getting twatted by Peterborough

Don't want us competing in the champions league eh?
Or multiple premier league titles?
Or sign the worlds best players?
Or be regarded as one of the best teams in the world?
With one of the best managers in the world?

Aye who the fuck wants that, I love getting dry bummed by f***ing Peterborough.

Sunderland supporter though, aye? 😂
