The press has the Methven meeting minutes

It’s getting a bit daft all this now mind. We already knew what he said. I want them out as much as the next fan but there needs to be a line in the sand.

I’m quite happy for the media to take an increased interest on these lines so that Donald and the club aren’t controlling the wider narrative
 
Tin hat on here but I can't some believe people's biggest rant against Methven is that he is a Tory . How will you react if we are taken over by owners from repressive socialist countries or heaven forbid ,Republican leaning billionaires from the good old USA ?
Couldn't give a stuff what the owners politics are as long as they are competent have the dosh and can take us forward .
Would draw the line at a despot dictator from a third world nation who practices genocide but Methven hardly qualifies for that status .
Exactly, and when they fail like Charlie and stewy there’s nowt to paper over their shite and so it’s laid bare.
 
Hmmmmm wonder who informed the press????? CM has already left the club, just stoking the fire IMO. Those fanzines seem intent on f***ing this club over, more needless pressure.

Everyone involved in them is an absolute cretin.

Have the fanzines been put in charge of club infrastructure, academy management and first team recruitment?

So you don’t know who informed the press but it’s the fanzines fault?. Could’ve been methy himself, what’s the old saying there’s no such thing as bad press, his chummy southern crowd will rib him about showing them scruffy northern lot what’s what.
 
So CM has leaked that, or at the very least been all too happy to control the story.

It has been clear from the start that he has has nothing but disdain for football supporters, Sunderland ones in particular. The people who were taken in by him, buying him pints etc have been let down as his real view of them will not have been complimentary at all.
 
Well, it confirms he's a bit of a dick, but that's hardly the end of the world. I am as sure that it was a spur of the moment slur and that he does regret saying it as I am that this is directly linked to him leaving the club about a week later.

This FFP investment/loan thing hasn't half been blown out of all proportion mind. Partially by Donald, who would appear to have talked it up too much originally and well before anything was done but mostly, it would appear, by fans who were dreaming of being the next man city and now feel a bit silly.

We need to get out of this division first? And the best way to do that would be for us all to work together in the same direction. And stop belittling all of the teams we play, some of which have squads every bit as good as ours (and less expensive) at the moment.
 
If i recall correctly the "uneducated in business" comments weren't made at a RAWA meeting, they were recorded elsewhere.

That being said my memory's like a sieve at the moment
 
No mate but apparently the Times runs stories based on what writers from Sunderland fanzines send them now.

From podcasts with the owner to running the club to pulling the strings of the Murdoch Empire in six months. Properly Machiavellian

It’s hardly the end of the world that one of our owners calls our fans “unbelievably uneducated”?

f***ing hell. I genuinely have no idea why Sunderland fans seem to hate themselves so much. Anywhere else and the owner slagging the fans off to the extent he has across the time he’s been here and there’d be riots. Here? “Oh thank you Mr Methven sir, could I buy you a pint mr Methven sir?”

As an Old Etonion he will know the phrase Ad hominem

Ad hominem (Latin for "to the person"), short for argumentum ad hominem, typically refers to a fallacious argumentative strategy whereby genuine discussion of the topic at hand is avoided by instead attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, or persons associated with the argument, rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.
