RR: Bob Murray podcast

[Mackemansj1]

Good watch so far, north stand extension had to be done as he wouldn’t have got planning permission for it if the other building were built before the extension, just watching the rest now.

Haha he’s not very complimentary about Mackemenemy.

 

[Steesafc]

I'll listen to it travelling to and from work on Monday

 

[Mackemansj1]

He knew before a ball was kicked at Wembley that we’d be going up regardless of the out come of the game.

Sir Bob Murray sat down with Roker Report this week for a chat in what was undoubtedly one of the biggest, most honest and in-depth Podcast interviews we’ve ever recorded. You can listen on Acast, iTunes, Spotify, TuneIn and YouTube. What are we talking about this episode? How did Sir Bob come to own Sunderland...

So did I. Could only get a ticket with the Swindon fans and I remember saying to them after the game n matter what we were going up and they were gong down. To be fair they agreed

 

[Northumberland Rocks]

Are they doing tours of the BOL would love to have a look around. What a bloke Sir Bob is.

Amazing story by Bill that.

I didn’t know that about the North Stand, I’ve always been of the opinion that 42k capacity was about right for us and that the extension was an extravagance we didn’t need but I can see why it was done now.

That's the thing that stood out the most
Also, there's clearly no love lost between Murray and Peter Reid

Dennis Smith didn't know listening to the wise men say podcast. He was also of the belief Bob didnt know, although did say maybe he was waiting for confirmation

Says he'll never forgive Quinny for bringing in Ellis and Byrne. Crikey.

 

[LT2K]

Really enjoyed that. Some very straight talking in there, always admire people who don't talk jargon and BS.

Is that not what he did to entice Hutch to the SOL and then went back on his word!

 

[Nig]

Two things that shouldn't of left Southampton, lawry mcmenemy and the Titanic

Ah Byrne! I couldn't quite make out who he said after Short.
Interesting comment - not a lot of love for Quinny.

He's his own biggest fan like - not shy on talking up his achievements and blaming others for his failings

 

[Boris Bear]

Presided over more failures than any other chairman in our history, embarrassed us regularly in the media and still managed to turn a profit from his investment.

His history will no doubt be viewed through rose tinted specs

His legacy will be much greater than a few relegations.

I think I’ve missed this? Somebody off here brought about the 1990 promotion?

This.

The bloke was a nightmare as a football club chairman and led us to the lowest point in the clubs history. Other than that youve summed it up well.

His legacy will be much greater than a few relegations.

He is extremely fortunate that he built the stadium otherwise his legacy would have been embarrassing. His on the field achievements were almost zero and this in 20 years. Other than 2 x 7th placed finishes it was a virtual disaster from start to finish on the field of play.
