the reasoning behind the loan is fair enough

if CM had just explained that the other day there wouldn't have been such a backlash

both SD and CM need to get on the same page as you can't help but question the reasoning behind why CM wasn't forthcoming with the truth

and now you wonder what's actually the truth and what's bullshit

Fair enough mate. I got called a wanker the other day because I was driving down a 30 mph road, where there was no crossing, and a bloke at the side of the road expected me to just stop for him for no reason.

It seems people are getting handier with shit like that for little or no reason.

While I do agree that getting pissed and slagging people off in front of their family members is the move of a scummer, I certainly wouldn’t say he’d had been abused ffs

Aye so if you were out with your lass and the bairn and someone came up to you and gave you grief it wouldn't be abuse would it not?

Swearing in front of a kid is bad enough, unless you're a scum bag then it's seen as normal, which many of our lot are

It's reet like innit.

You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.

It's gotten to a point where he's been backed into a corner, had to cut his leave short and start answering some real questions on the back foot instead of bluffing us with one yarn after another. I just hope this isn't just the latest - benefit of the doubt he seemed genuine enough.

People can see in previous years' accounts what the club was spending. There were two options, the mythical billionaire who would continue doing what short was doing and just throw money at us even though we were basically wasting it, or the way the current owners have massively reduced outgoings. The last resort was administration if neither of the above two were going to happen, but it doesn't seem that far fetched.

But we were told that we couldn't go into administration.
 
Just a quick one, what kind of businessman takes a takeover that nets him money, cancels it to talk to investors who offer much less, but want to invest and ask them to finalize investment by securing debt against him so he could lose £20 million if he fails.
None that i know of would do that, who would want to lose £20million of their own money.

Also seems massively dodgy as fuck for the holding company Madrox to be holding the clubs assets.

I can’t honestly say mate. Possibly. I heard it from someone who was at the match. Not the same incident mind.

Which makes it worse, because implies that there's been more than one incidence of personal abuse.

Sigh. It doesn't. It owns 100% of the shares in Sunderland Ltd. God, I despair,

Its way not acceptable.

Calling people a f***king W**ker in front of his family is just disgusting.

The decent ones amongst us should call it out.

God knows what the FFP lads must think.

It's the game we're in. People get upset. People have a lot to drink. People vent their frustrations. I'm not saying it's right or acceptable but it is par for the course. Players get it, managers get it, and owners get it. Look at the shit Ashley gets - that bugger laps it up. Not sure where I'm going with this now but never thought I'd see the day when football fans could be so precious about one or two tits making their gobs go at the match.

Making your gob go at the match is one thing. Making your gob go a couple a feet away from someone and their kids in entirely different. One is understandable, the other is totally unacceptable.

I don't think they're too far removed when it's happened outside the ground - look at that clown giving Flanagan shit on camera a few weeks ago. I'm not saying it's acceptable, but it's par for the course. It's a shame his family had to hear it, I'd like to think the 'abuser' was probably oblivious to the fact. Shit football + drink = loose tongues.
