Methven seems a twat to work for but to have more of an idea about managing games than Jack Ross

Watched 1st episode, Majas goal man what a finish. The main reason our season went to tits.
It’s an absolute joke Jack Ross didn’t get that squad promoted mind.
My mates in Waterford were raving about STID1 and eagerly looking forward to watching STID2
Apparently, the Leeds documentary is worth a watch, (but not as good as ours) according to a mate in Waterford.
The links on Netflix mateCannot find a link as yet anyone else had any joy?
Undoubtedly it's given the club great exposure/publicity around the globe, which can only be a good thing.I met a lady from Canada and two guys from Italy while travelling this summer who, separately, all approached me because I was wearing a Sunderland shirt and had watched the show. I love Sunderland to death, but even i'll admit there is no way they'd even know who we were if it wasn't for the show!

I just wish there was a happy outcome.
TBH, that transfer was more down the Agent than Maja. - Personally think he wanted to stay.He’s a twat. His interview at the end of episode 2 says it all IMO. Had absolutely no intention of staying. Greedy wanker.

I think it was CM that said we had to change it?.. Personally, I'd start a petition to bring back DoTK/RTGWhee's the gonk saying Dance of the Knights is slow n we need a new PA system (Charlie's face when he tells him).
Not any longer? They stop it in DecemberYou can sign up for a free trial with Netflix

Awful centre-backs and losing our best player in January means I have some sympathy. We’d have gone up if we had kept Maja or signed someone like Jordan Willis a year earlier.
Yeah, imagine if we weren't shitBe nice to have a series following our European adventures or a nice FA cup final win!
I've just started episode 4 so I'll give my review when I've seen the lot.
However, what I will say is that I'm surprised that Methven is getting a hammering.
From what I've seen so far, he was the driving force in many things. He may come across as ruthless but that is exactly what was needed at the club.
Tony Davison nails it in the 3rd episode when he says the staff are terrified and don't know how to work things out by themselves because they've always been told what to do and at the end of the month send the bill to a man named Ellis Short in Florida. The staff have meetings among themselves and can't decide on things therefore arrange another meeting resulting in Donald and a few others making decisions.
There was a total lack of leadership, in fact it was non existent and this was shown in the meetings Methven had with staff about asking for ideas and suggestions and there was just silence and glum faces like a group of school children.
Methven was trying show leadership and be a leader figure and as mentioned by Donald in episode 3, we need people to be on board with us or go elsewhere and not have negative people around the club.
We, the fans, demanded that we get our club back and Methven was trying to do this. We got 46,000 fans on boxing day and that was because of Methven's drive which is something that had been missing for many years at board level.
By no means does he get off scot free as he has said some daft things. However, the fact remains is that he and Donald have dedicated a lot of their life over the last few years to trying to help us get back to where we should be , probably more so than any owners we've had previously and they brought the good feeling back.
I'm quite sad and disappointed it's ended the way it has as with the right support, structure and financial backing, the club could have been on a good track. However, they have been driven out
Well done mate ,best post by a million miles .The usual chip on shoulder brigade out in force.He spoke with great passion wished we had scored in 94 min,forks in the road ehI've just started episode 4 so I'll give my review when I've seen the lot.

Naaa the other lad in the meeting I was on about.I think it was CM that said we had to change it?.. Personally, I'd start a petition to bring back DoTK/RTG

The club right now, this minute, has never been more rudderless and lacking leadership
This is an unreal post, totally and utterly deluded
"dedicated their life"
if they had used the parachute payments what they were there for we wouldn't be in this mess.
Financial backing?
what the fuck was Donald for then?
