Charlie is what he is. Posh Del Boy, gets things moving, knows how to schmooze the right people, canny at marketing etc.
He's going to put his foot in it because frankly he can be a birrova tit. The lads on the Oxford forum back this up. Anyone who's worked with marketing types shouldn't be surprised at all.
It sounds like even Stewart Donald gets annoyed with him at times, on the recent podcast Charlie was talking about Stewart wanting to boot him all over the pitch.
For all of that, The Don chooses to work with him and so should we. He comes from a different world, we should cut the bloke some slack and see what he can do for us. It could be the start of a beautiful friendship, whatever happens it'll be classic Sunderland.
So an a massive socialist you sympathise with a man educated in one of the country’s most expensive public schools and all access to all the privileges and opportunity that brings calling people in Sunderland parasites and judging them on how they spend their money? In addition making reference to £12 not being a lot of money in a place where it’s an hourly rate to a lot of people
He didn't really say £12 isn't a lot of money, he just said he doesn't think there's many people who can't afford £12 but who can afford to go to the pub. There will be some who go and get 1 pint and nurse it all game, saving themselves a bit of money but his point is that many will probably spend the same as a ticket on drink during the game, or not far off it. Mind I'm not sure where he got £12 from since £18 is the cheapest I've seen.
Fair enough . I think he showed a lack of understanding of the value of £12 to some people . Used in the context of parasites it’s not greatHe didn't really say £12 isn't a lot of money, he just said he doesn't think there's many people who can't afford £12 but who can afford to go to the pub.

Its £18 minimum plus booking fee if online. Plus whatever cost to get to and from game. Plus a pint or two whilst there. People could spend half the amount of money by staying local, watching the match and having twice as many pints.
They may not be the most dedicated of all of our supporters but they arent parasites.
I'd claim for my bus fare and taxis too if I were using them for work purposes. Not sure why folk get bent out of shape over people claiming back their dues from an employer "it's only a small amount, that's just greedy" - fuck putting your hand in to your own pocket on their behalf!
The article was saying he got pissed off with his own employees doing just that.

Green eye monster I suspect.
f***ing love putting expenses on the business.
My beloved employer send me to Houston every now and then (look at me look at me etc) and I visit a steak house called the Steam Boat House every time I go. I f***ing love whacking the company credit card on to the table for the bill for that one![]()
It's only what you deserve marra.
