Pride comes before a fall

You don’t know they won’t make it though, the young lad we signed today is very highly thought of by those that have watched him regularly. Personally I’d rather watch players like that than the mercenaries we’ve been used to.
You said Stewar has done nothing but say you like the manager, who do you think chose the manager and pays his wages

Whoever advised SD - no way did he know who the manager was
 
@janey said:

"I have no idea how it will work out but to say they’ve done nothing is unfair imo".

And your reply is;




Care to justify why that statement elicits your response?

Use the full quote - the last sentence was almost an excuse for what came before it, but this, but that - I don't want excuses I want results and there's nothing I've seen that suggests we'll be competing this season

If you're right - and you're guessing, based on nowt - then who appointed the adviser?

You tell me, you think SD did?
 
OK - we were never going out of business short stated many times he'd cover the clubs costs and I'm passing opinion on the new owners performance, appointments and signings to date and he's doing nowt for me

We've got around 40 odd matches to really pass judgement.

How can you do this before the season has started? A ball has been kicked?

How about we actually watch them play before we judge them - using your words - on their "winning football"?
 
How do you know, and even if he was advised he obviously listened carefully to that advice which has to be a good thing surely
Who pays him

The club pay him - or do you think it comes from SD personally?

Its all about opinions - I'd love to be proved wrong but I just don't see it

The season hasn't started.

So how about we wait for some actual football "results" before we judge them?

Otherwise we're judging them based upon assumptions and fantasies.

Its all about opinions - I'd love to be proved wrong but I just don't see it

Then we're actually at the same point.
I'm desperate for us to do well too. It's not predictable what will happen next season at all. I'm just going to give them a chance to convince me rather than slagging them off before a ball has been kicked.

When you unpick through the rambling dialogue there are some real concerns with new regime and how they do business. I was gobsmacked by his remarks about the Aleverez deal and not doing due diligence

The huge concern is the transfer activity thus far
When did he say he didn't do due diligence?

How was he supposed to know what the future outcome of the Alvarez case would be?
 
I couldn’t give a damn how we achieve it I just want to see a team capable of challenging in the top half of the Premier League which is where this club should be!

That's last is a bit Mag-like in its delusion marra.
Sunderland isn't that rich a city - not a London or Manchester or even a Newcastle, Leeds, Birmingham or Liverpool. So how are we somehow entitled to a top half premier league slot? We have managed that exactly 3 times in the past 50 years. In those 50 years we have spent longer in the second tier than the top one.

Short threw hundreds of millions into a bottomless pit to keep us in the Prem for 10 years and in the end it was just unsustainable doping.

The only way to do it is like Burnley or Leicester - actually building up a club which is not running at a loss...

As I said in an earlier post. If you look at the OP's posting history you may quickly decide he/she is nothing more than a mag WUM.
 
I always thought the owners of companies were responsible for paying their staff. I must be wrong ;)
Not anymore janey, it's the tooth fairy or in some countries the easter bunny.

Certainly wouldn't see a company owner responsible for paying staff in this day and age :lol:
 
Sorry but you're talking absolute shite tbh.

This club, and the supporters, were at absolute rock bottom and they've put a a smile on everyone's face ....

.... except your's obviously :rolleyes:

What they've done is quite an achievement by any standards.
We haven't even played a competitive game yet, what the frig is there to smile about.

I understand completely that some are more cynical than others but surely he’s proved he’s more than just that in the work that’s been done in the 3 months they’ve been here.
Not at all. He'll have proved bot all in my estimations until we're in the Premier League. I couldn't give a flying fuck about what colour the seats are, how we're not letting the nasty agents take the piss, and how many hours Charlie boy has been putting in down the ticket office. It's superficial nonsense.
