Tom Burwell

Of course theres a strong connection between the people of Sunderland and the club - there always has been.

It's people like him who thinks it's a commodity that he can exploit and manipulate. Worse, he thinks he's cleverer than the supporters and that he can get away with it. No different to Donald and Methven.

Imagine how much he'll milk it if we win on Sunday

No. Burwells reading into it too much. He’s also injecting himself into the story too much. He needs to stfu before he becomes the new Methven.

Educated tosspot looking down on us northern oiks like shite vibes flow through his every word to me. Could be wrong and he really could care! What concerns me is he is picking the next man for his job so you can tell the buzzword express is going to be rolling into town soon

I think given all his self publication that he’s likely gonna pick himself…. Such a shame we lost Bruce, a local lad who got the club and had with international links in the US, for a bloke pushing his own agenda.

Was pretty obvious from that first Echo interview. Personally, I couldnt get to the end of it as it was so full of management speak and cliche. In my experience folk who speak like that think they are smarter than everybody else, when in fact people with common sense can see right through them.

Do we think Bruce was asked to be more ruthless like with the BL box and has said nah thats not for me

Incomes the new man to do the jobs we will all hate but in the long run will bring in more revenue

Bruce is now at Sheffield Wednesday who have American owners, maybe they knew him from his days over there. One of the three in the consortium is Tom Costin of Blue Crow Sports Group, a multi-club football ownership and investment platform. Friends maybe?

These people shouldn’t forget that the local demographic isn’t very affluent, and the club doesn’t have the recent history to really exploit the tourism market.

We’re a much harder sell than a lot of clubs, in terms of where it appears they want the club to go.

Unfortunately the local demograpic isn't very affluent. If we continue to be sucessful then the number of season tickets issued will become restricted, because tourist fans spend a lot more per match than a season ticet holder.

Some ST holders seem reluctant to shell out a bit more for the cup games anarl as has been shown for decades attendance wise. They can’t all live hundreds of miles away and not make midweek games!
