well, the way i see it, if we had this sort of chat within the club when we have gone wrong, maybe we wouldn't be sitting league one now. i think Kieron brady mentioned something similar a year or two ago.I agree mate, but apparently it doesn't matter.
The ground extension and Bob not being able to compete in the transfer market / get additional investment in, blew itHave to strengthen when you're doing well. We kinda rode the crest of a wave for a while and let things get stale with the squad. Some poor transfer market dealings didn't help.
I’m not pissed and don’t know why I am giving you the time. Overall Peter Reid dragged our club out of the shyte and nearly yes nearly got it right. That’s what he should be remembered for, the fantastic football his teams produced and for the pride he gave to the supporters.Are you pissed. The thread is about where Reid went wrong and your response is does it matter, we had a great time
Next thread about when we lose, and people ask why, we can all say does it matter, we won a different game![]()
It doesn't matter mate. We had some great times. So what happened after is irrelevant. Apparently.well, the way i see it, if we had this sort of chat within the club when we have gone wrong, maybe we wouldn't be sitting league one now. i think Kieron brady mentioned something similar a year or two ago.
But I agreed with all that. And I'm sure all the other posters who have answered the question posed by the OP do too. But the thread is asking where he then went wrong.I’m not pissed and don’t know why I am giving you the time. Overall Peter Reid dragged our club out of the shyte and nearly yes nearly got it right.

He very nearly gave us success. Give him credit for that, I do and so do my friends and family.
That far outweighs his negatives. Do you comprehend ?
As for you, you are back on ignore, I’ve wasted enough time on you.
Makin and Summerbee, that the story with the Melanie Sykes.Wonder if the stories surrounding the departures of Makin and Summerbee were true. Bridges and Johnston contract issues, Laslandes managers office discussion etc, Reid could maybe have handled a lot of things better.
Imagine getting shot of those two cos they (possibly) got a shot off with her.Makin and Summerbee, that the story with the Melanie Sykes.
Stubborn. Had the opportunity to have kept Bridges, Johnston, Clark, & Hutchinson at various points, but chose to play / sign Dichio, Kilbane, Ball & Laslandes instead. Also built a team around Quinny who was at the end of his career rather than around Bridges who was at the start - and then never found a replacement when the big lad was finished.The following two years with back to back 7th place top flight finishes says no to a lot of fans. But why did it go wrong after that.
It was, i felt like europe was a real possibility and the chance of a trophy like the FA cup wasn't that far away, and then, that 3rd season, it just didn't click and reid didn't adapt, a year later we were down, it was crushing at the time to be honestMust have been a great time to be following the club though. Just moved to a state of the art stadium and the team seemed to have a real identity from what I've seen and would give anyone a game. Seemed to be a great atmosphere with a sea of red and white, my first game was in 97/98 at the SOL and that's all i remember. Such a far cry to what it is now sadly
We spent but not wiselySquad was getting older and we didn’t spend.

what about him ?Kilbane![]()
He would drive our fans mental. Getting beat with twenty to go and the heat was on Reidy. He'd fling him on as a sub so he'd cop for it insteadwhat about him ?
The mags will find that out .Even 20 years ago, we were struggling to get top-quality to come to Sunderland. Nothing has changed.
Yeah, i think he's got over it since mind, considering what he hooked up with, our Kev, has got very lucky lately.. Brianne DelcourtHe would drive our fans mental. Getting beat with twenty to go and the heat was on Reidy. He'd fling him on sob he'd cop for it instead![]()
Following season we were almost top at Christmas and finished 7th.It all started to go haywire on Boxing Day 1999 when Everton tore us apart at Goodison Park,
Unlikely. They didn't struggle at the time when we were. Suppose it depends on your definition of top quality.The mags will find that out .
Believe me.
