glad I listened to that as it was unexpected . Blunt and straight talking, but also more perceptive than i expected... i like characters who can sit back and see the bigger picture as situations unfold.

thanks for putting it together

I felt exactly the same. I interviewed Asamoah Gyan a few years back and expected maybe vagueish answers where I may have had to push...but big Kenwyne was very intellectual and saw situations in a very clever way I thought. Top top bloke.
Glad he seems to appreciate how much we enjoyed having him here!
We had a bit of a natter before hand and he thinks it was probably his best time in football.
 
Good listen, nice to hear he agreed with me thst if Keano had an experienced No. 2 it could have been so much better long term! Sound was a bit ropey on my phone mind??
 
Love the bit 5:02 in where he talks about how Keano used to tease him about not being fast even though his long legs gave the impression of speed. Vindication at last. Good lad is Kenwyne.
They both probably got on like a house on fire even though they are polar opposites, Keane very intense and Kenwyne gives the impression he is so laid back he is virtually horizontal. Loved his time here and watching Keanes team play, not the best but always went out and gave 100%, probably my best time watching Sunderland (even better than Reidy's time IMO).
 
Our Frank Bruno, great physique, a really likeable guy (though FB blotted his copybook latterly ) extremely chilled , languid, ability in abundance, but NAE killer instinct when it came to the crunch, did not fulfill his ability.Looking forward to the podcast.

Thanks for doing the pod. It must take you a while to prepare all those questions. Fantastic listen and brings back some good memories.
 
Class listen that(went on to listen to big micks and poyets). One thing that’s seems constant is they all raised problems that the fans knew about at the time and still do now.
So why the hell do the fuckers in charge(one useless lot replace another) seem oblivious how to run the club correctly?

Its enjoyable to do them, but it drives me nuts the amount of people who know the club has been fucked for years.

Out of curiosity, which did you enjoy the most?
 
Not a daft lad Kenwyne Jones. He like how honest he was. Sometimes I get a bit bored of players talking about what a big club it is and that it gets under your skin etc etc. It’s gets a bit nauseous. Jones didn’t over egg that particular pudding and was fairly honest about his ambitions to go on to bigger and better things. Fair play to him.

Interesting comments on Keane and Bruce. Given that I like Keane and don’t like Bruce I’m happy to go along with his judgement. Nevertheless, on the other hand, it appeared that either he or his agent (or both) were busy bees during his time at Sunderland and it always seemed he was hawked about. I’d imagine Bruce got fed up of that and I can’t imagine it helped their relationship. I’d say it would be good to get Bruce’s side of the story but it’s rare a believable word comes out of his mouth so not much point.

Went on to listen to campbells and onto jon stead atm, productive day :lol:
Either Kenwyne or big mick. Poyets just drove me crazy hearing how frustrated he was with how the club ignored him/handled recruitment and basically spat him out.
Was interesting to hear how different Campbell thoughts were on bruce compared to jones like :lol:
 
I’ve listened to a couple of your pods before mate but after listening to the KJ one last night, I’ve blitzed the McCarthy and Campbell one and now onto Arca pod. Keep up the good work. McCoist or Cattermole would be the next ideal ones
 
Bruce was a right twat like.

Imagine he can be a brilliant man-manager when it comes to British lads with a bit of an old-school mentality about them but the way he treated certain players who he viewed as being 'different' was disgraceful at times. Jones and Malbranque in particular stand out and pretty sure that Angeleri said that Bruce was the worst person he'd ever encountered in football.

Just reminded me of one incident when the ball was launched upfield and Jones very obviously knowing that he was offside didn't waste any energy in going after it and that fat knacker on the touchline was going berserk at him.

Think it was a case of 'time ran out'.
