I found the response in the Echo depressing. Partly the obfuscation but mainly because the only thing they’ve made clear is that there’s no takeover soon.

The mags getting their takeover and us stuck with these con men is probably the most pessimistic I’ve ever been as a Sunderland supporter.

The thought of 3rd division mid table mediocrity with Donald and Parkinson makes me want to jack it all in if I’m honest.

Be strong! Stick with it. Mind you, being tested like never before.

I agree, it is gut wrenching, but it wouldn’t be Sunderland if everything was ever hunky dory. They say it’s always darkest before the dawn, let’s hope that’s true. Try and stick with it good buddy

As opposed to the disproportionate number of financial experts who get on here. :lol:




Maybe it is a sign of the times and deserved, but Donald receives far, far more scrutiny than Short ever did.

I dont think it's a sign of the times.

The latest outrage, to me anyway is the lying. I dont like liars.

The main point will always be strategy, our best opportunity to change course was wasted by a short term thinker who likes going to the games with his boy.

As for short, outrage is a little difficult when he was spending more money than our club is now worth per season.

He deserves it.

He came out with all the Mr. Nice Guy routine and a being a proper football fan. All the sitting in with the fans and having pints was just a PR stunt. He lied about the price he bought the club and his intentions. He played us for fools and thinks very little of us.

Funny you should say that as I literally just typed a post in a separate thread which was along the lines of "when there is success no one cares about this sort of thing".

But we aren't being successful. They are one of the same here.

Donald came in here without a plan on the football side of things. He hired his mates who are either unqualified or have failed in the past. The appointment of Rodwell is an example. The plan was to throw a team together and get promoted. He want to flip the club for a profit. That's why recruitment has been poor. When we have no scouting team and all are talented youngsters are being sold off.

The financial stuff shows he had no long term plan on that side. He bought the club with his own money which raises the question does he have the money to run the club. He gave his mate 20% for a £1 instead of the £3m he said he paid. Now that £20m he loaned his company will not be paid back.

That money could be invested back into the club in various different areas. Improving the first team, the academy, scouting.

It proves now that we are failing at every level and Donald is a chancer, a liar and a charlatan. As well as being clueless as a football club chairman.
 
If something is seen to be buried people will dig. The press have a bone now and will not let it rest.

Absolutely shambolic at the minute, just lacking in professionalism which should be the minimum, questions should be being asked by local hacks about the general shit state of our team if nothing else.
