Don't want us competing in the champions league eh?
Or multiple premier league titles?
Or sign the worlds best players?
Or be regarded as one of the best teams in the world?
With one of the best managers in the world?
Aye who the fuck wants that, I love getting dry bummed by f***ing Peterborough.
Sunderland supporter though, aye?
My dad born 1929 was too young for the last great period, mid 30s, I was lucky enough to get to 73 cup final with him and many games home and away since then. Let’s get back up and live a dream
It’s all we can do is dream atm ,what’s on the pitch and the touchline isn’t worth a chow of baccy .
Thanks for replying ,Exciting times ahead ..That's fine mate, as long as you're not putting me under any pressure
OK, I've resisted so far but I'll say more having spoken to the personal friend of two of the buyers.
He's been in touch today and given me just a little more info but not much tbh.
I'm stringing him along but have no intention of working for him as Mrs Reiver wasn't happy with the proposal. I'm only pretending to be considering his offer so I can get more info for you lot which I think is decent of me tbf. It's a shame I won't be able to use him for real first hand inside info, in the future, If I worked for him I'd get to meet his friends in a relaxed atmosphere and work my undoubted charm.
That would put me in a position where I have two of our owners as 'friends' and be able to let them use me as a 'source' to leak stuff to the likes of you
I'm gutted but our lass puts up with a lot and she comes before you lot.
Anyway, having set the scene, here's what else I can say, in terms we're all familiar with, and without breaking confidences. The new owners are as cool as the other side of the pillow but absolutely driven in their quest for absolute success in every aspect of their lives. Every part of the club will be electro-shocked into action, money will be pumped into it by whatever means are legally available and anyone who 'fails' will be forced to walk the plank. The supporters, despite all the years of promises, magic carpets and disappointment, will be expected to get on board. I suspect that, if that support is begrudging, the owners will feel free to do whatever they wish to attract sponsorship, investment and support from outside the UK. We have to bear in mind that TV, sponsorship, merchandising, corporate involvement, etc, totally eclipse our input. We have a chance, maybe only one, to be a big part of this ... otherwise we'll see it happen despite us, not because of us.
That would hurt me and, I hope, all of you.

All of us do im sure..but we'll be watching for any billy biggobs who might forget where they came from and start giving it large about how great we are (even if its true)
VAR would declare him a clear and obvious Mag
