Coleman/Bain Q and A with fans.

[Dmac1969]

So just like that school fund raiser, last year, hand picked questions from uber fans, typical, no doubt the peacock will have the lawyers round if they so much as breath wrong

This club really knows how to piss off the local community ffs. Threatening pubs with lawyers etc.

The club are as thin skinned as they come and cannot take any sort of criticism. As soon as someone says something they don’t like the pet lip comes on.

Daren't face the fans. Oh well folks all anger to the players on Saturday.

Bain has made them look a right pair of tits here.

We've obviously got a lot to say on this. Only found out this afternoon it had been pulled.

The whole process around making this happen was pretty frustrating for all parties involved at our end.

Will make the point - this was only happening with our involvement because we work with the pub. The pub had an agreement with a mutual 3rd party that meant this event could happen. It was an obligation. We have asked if we can do something with the manager/CEO before but obviously they're never going to allow it.

We don't want to say anymore until we read the club's statement as we don't know what their official reason is for pulling out.

We suggested at the outset that it would be a bad idea to have Bain involved and didn't want him to be involved. We wanted to talk football and not politics.

Will you be relaying the official statement on the podcast and/or musing over what you think the reason behind it was?

Pub: Ooh Martin, we’ll mak sure ya get a good portion of saveloy on the neet....

MB: Fuck that, Im out & CC isn’t allowed either

Backbones of jelly fish

Get Nick Barnes to ask C.C.when he interviews him for radio Finnan before the Boro game...he loves asking awkward questions we all want to know the answers too and never gives any Sunderland managers an easy ride..then again!

Is it true that the club has pulled this?

Yes.

I'm not sure whether you can elaborate on this or not so I understand if you can't. I just don't understand how a pub in town, or a mutual party, could force an obligation with a football club to hold a supporters meeting there. Nor, if there was indeed an obligation, how they can pull out anyway?

The club have an agreement with a third party that they have to do a number of these types of events a season, I believe. The same third party also has a relationship with the pub. Therefore this pub seemed a good fit for the event given the relationship.

It's not a supporters meeting. It was a talk in type affair.

I imagine they could pull out and then rearrange at a later date. Whether we'd want any involvement in the rearranged affair would be another matter entirely, given how they've fucked us, the venue and most importantly the fans about.

If Bain won't face the fans, could I suggest we the fans face Bain on Saturday, or will he pull out of attending that as well ?

 

[samaistonsrightfoot]

What do they mean by contracted through a third party? An agency?

Exactly what I've asked them. I don't see how it's even possible that any entity, bar the league, could do it.

Probably after last week.

Just responded to this. See previous post.

 

[George Whitebread]

I agree with the large part of this but not sure about the last part. Does Bain actually give much of a shit either way, or has he been instructed by email from Short that he will attend and trot out the financial prudence to turn the club around rhetoric we have come to expect?

Nip along, ask him.

 

[Ageing Grey Mackem]

Nip along, ask him.

It’s f***ing cancelled man, keep up.

 

[samaistonsrightfoot]

Just responded to this. See previous post.

Just saw it after I posted. I just cannot get my head around what sort of entity, bar the league, can have such power over the club.

Edit: I don't expect you to tell me who it is by the way. I'm just thinking out loud.

We can but hope. He is clearly and quite rightly feeling the heat.

The only link I made was RAWA? That's if I'm reading it right.
