:lol::lol::lol:



by heck it was rough yesterday, didnt realise it was that bad.



between this and your avatar... i don't know what to think. ellis short wants to sell the club, we all know that, it is hardly his fault if there are no takers. and i'd rather he takes time and sells to the right people than we end up with anyone like the venkys in charge. we don't know what is going on behind the scenes enough to be too critical imo

what i can tell you is he has funded us tremendously well through years and years and whilst made some bad decisions granted [mainly the di fanti decision] he has tried to put good solid footballing people in charge of certain areas and been let down badly.

vast sums of money have been wasted - far and away the worst culprits? roy keane, steve bruce, martin o'neill - you'd really struggle to find footballing people you'd trust more to pick a player than them surely?
Why does Ellis waiting mean we get a better owner? Do you really think Ellis will vet the suitability of prospective owners? Or do you think he'll just try and get as much money as possible?

Laughable if you think he will turn down an offer because he's not sure someone will be good for SAFC.
 
Right just got back in the house...let me try and explain. Firstly my beef is with the owner of the club. I walked out today prior to half time because I was pissed off, not just with the 40 mins football but the whole dynamics of the club from top to bottom. I got to the halfway house, pissed off and made a thread about my frustration to Short. Posters then started picking an argument with me and I reacted defensively for which I apologise. Whether you were at the game or not at the game makes you no more or no less of a fan. My beef is with our owner not fellow fans and I apologise if in the heat of the moment I was off with fellow supporters.
It was a shit OP, and was rightly criticised. Maybe go in to more detail next time if you want to escape ridicule.
 
Is Ellis really a billionaire? Is he even really American?

I've got the same feeling as when that con man Jon lindsay got Deirdre jailed on coronation Street.

Disagree mate, the title of my thread is exactly my feelings and those of many at the game today. It's a sad state of affairs if I have to " go into more detail" as that would imply those reading my post are not very intelligent which I don't think is the case., Short is a f***ing car crash..

It was a shit OP, deal with it. When the title of the thread is longer than the thread itself it usually is pointless starting a new one. Why didn't you just put your thoughts in the match thread? Seen as your thoughts are 4 words.

so you think posting a thread called ellis shorts sunderland stink and not even bothering with any text is the makings of a top class thread?

It was a class OP.. sums up the feeling up here in the North East.

he might, he might not, he might not have had any offers for all any of us know.

what we do know is he has ploughed millions and millions and f***ing millions into the club during his time here. we could do a lot worse like

'Ploughed millions in' aka given us a huge amount of debt.

11th highest in Europe iirc...

The club had minimal debt when he took over.
