We would have gone down the pan without Short
The Irish jolly boys went into debt to satisfy Keane such that when they did one Short inherited over 60m in debt and some awful long term liabilities, all due to RK incompetence
He wore that 60m and continued to underwrite players for ONeil, Advocaat and Moyes. Bruce was only one we made a profit with due in main to Bent
Short was covering wages for over a decade because sky money wouldnt cover it
Yet your sort would have us believe that the likes of Donald and Methven did more for us than short??
Murray fondly remembered now was robbed blind by the stupidity in the transfer market of Reid
Medina, Nunez, Flo .
Should be a statue for Short outside the ground

Let’s compare Short to Donald and Methven.
Now that really is a bottom of the bill fight…which is where both inept parties left us.
Short was as irresponsible as he was incompetent. That he was loaded simply covered over the cracks, which blinded people then as it does now

He was a total train crash…. A disaster. Anyone who thinks anybody but Short was responsible for us being a 3rd division club.
Need to remove the blinkers of dollar signs and ask what did he inherit and where did he leave us . The difference lies at his door.

His biggest mistake was keeping us in the premier league and wasting money on the merry go round of managers, back room staff and has been players.

Short was being bled, the other two were bleeding the club.

Presided over a bunch of horrific appointments throughout the club both on and off the pitch, his handling of the biggest scandal in the clubs history was little short of abhorrent, led us to the 3rd tier of English football for only the second time in 130 years and then his final coup de grace was to sell us to a pair of chancers who couldn't actually afford to run the club.

Can see why the man deserves a statue given all of that.

Bang on. And he’s still a billionaire so cry me a river about him having spent a lot of money.

Do you think he became a multi billionaire by being led?
The club was nothing but a hobby which he threw pocket money at until he got bored and it was no longer sustainable by which time the incompetent people he had put in charge had wrecked the club.
That was his fault no one else’s.. he failed, he was a failure and he didn’t care enough.
Bob Murray could see straight through him.
We were nothing but a play thing, a view reinforced by the incompetence he had running the club.
 
Most disillusioned I’ve ever felt as a Sunderland fan when he was in charge.

Too stubborn, negative and conservative.

I remember a game where he was screaming, and I mean literally screaming at Seb Larsson for running into the opposition half.

Please note I said disillusioned not outright the worst.
Jurassic Parkinson wins, which is ironic because we certainly f***ing didn’t under him much.

Short was fine at first, then he lost interest......we all know the result of that.

After going to almost every home match (and quite a few away) for 33 years since I was 12. I stopped attending under him. The football was terrible…..

More disillusioned than having Phil Parkinson being in charge losing to Bristol Rovers comfortably and being happy with a point v Gillingham?

And then conveniently got a phantom penalty in the 27th minute of 5 added on at Motherwell so that 'you' didn't have to win by 3 goals to win the title.

Its all a bit embarrassing really isn't it.
