My one mutual connection is Charlie Methven.

EDIT: So he's listed as Managing Member and Chief Investment Officer at Junto Capital. Most recent info I can find suggest they have $2.8b AUM, which is not a huge amount really. I mean, he'll obviously be wealthy

Must admit I love the thought of Pearson, slightly unhinged as he may be.

 

[Ashley In!!]

Gets slated but he gets absolutely loads right about us whether people like it or not. Called the details of the original deal months ago.

 

[Stubbs ftm]

I've lost track,
Do we believe nixon this week or not?

dont like Pearson and think he’s an absolute looper, love SKP but think he said he didn’t want to be just a coach any more.

Most likely just an easy headline but I’d take them over Parky any day:

I believe he’s been told.
I don’t believe the source. I think this is more brinkmanship from the two who can never have enough.

This. Hes still saying sartori and dreyfus leading the race

 

[Scotty 1978]

Remember when Nixon said we couldn’t afford to sack Jack Ross then 15 minutes later he got sacked, the fucker blocked me for picking him up on this

Id love pearson and phillips here personally. Cant find anything on that matty pauls. Nixon also saying sartori and dreyfus are leading the race Though

 

[gipetto]

I'd be chuffed if we brought in Pearson and Phillips.

 

[Fact Hunt]

The last time were in the top-flight we were losing £20 million per season, on top of the tv money.
i love the club, but just can’t see why anyone other than a Sunderland supporter would want to get involved.

Not keen on the bloke, but with the club still probably seen as a soft touch and fkin holiday camp he's just the lad to nip that in the bud.

What happened to the takeover already in the works like

All rumours mate. Just got to relax till we see what unfolds.

Remember in August when he said this and everyone slated him and now this looks like what has been happening all along?

 

[hallix]

That's a valid point, however:

1. I think a different manager may have the nous to recognize this fact and try to get goals from elsewhere in the team rather than hoping Wyke learns to play football. Without him on the field we would have room to try something different like Gooch/Maguire up front with Embleton, O'Nien, Dan Neil, etc given a chance to take up the supporting roles.

2. Grigg has proven himself more than capable at other clubs playing differently to how we do. We might want to try and play to his strengths at some point.

Grigg.....you mean set him up with chances two feet from the line to miss, those strengths......he needs to go along with PP.

 

[Hull_Mackem]

Are Pearson and KP really close? Seemed to go their separate ways.

I have in my head that Phillips wants to be a manager rather than a number two, but would work under Pearson again. Just him.
