[GavFTM]

Saw him at the Point last night for a talk in. Proper genuine lad. Absolutely loves Sunderland to bits. Some canny stories about the premier league years. Think he was devastated the way things turned out for him at the end of his time with us. Seemed to be an undercurrent about the current regime being a bit amateur as well, albeit he didn’t fully criticise directly. Cameo from Bally at the end as well which had a good bit of chemistry.

Is he still working at the club? Someone on here suggested he was coaching.

Not to my knowledge although him and Bally were quite critical of the youth set up now. Said players coming through are too entitled and don’t “earn” their progress through the academies like they used to. Sounded like they think the yoof aren’t hardworking enough.

Could do worse than to bring him into the coaching setup like (not head coach.) Would have a lot to offer.

The likes of Catts and Defoe as part of the coaching set up would do wonders. Not sure how technically sound they are as coaches but the experience they’d be able to pass on and the culture they could create around the place is what we’re missing

The regime he played under was either a bit amateur or a bit too knowing I just can’t decide which. Hes had enough out of safc already. No need to comeback for more.

Liked Lee.

Still some think he was better than Bally.

He couldn't have tied Bally's laces, as a leader or a footballer.

Had a pint with him, Bally and Tom Whute in the Hilton last night, all sound and were really good craic.
I asked all three if they thought we were gonna show some ambition pre season and confident next year they all said no.

Bally couldn’t have tied his shoe laces as a footballer mate tbh.

Give over. As a player he was head and shoulders above Bally.

Im guessing you where born in 1986?

Aye mate. Suppose I am biased to the Reidy era. Thought Bally was exceptional.. I never though the same with Catts, despite appreciating him all the same.

See above mate. Im admittedly biased

Catts did it at the top level, majority of Balls career was at championship level

Also granted. Just loved Bally me mate

To me ball was a great servant to the club but he couldn’t have tied L.C boot laces. Ball seemed to be always chasing the game hence his rash/ very late challenges.

He'd know all about amateur regimes having enjoyed a 'benefactor' like Margaret Byrne.
