You’ve been all over the place since Donald came in tbh. Constantly moving the goalposts to have another moan and ignoring any logical arguments that are put to you in preference to repeating the same whinge. I particularly loved your massive thrombo over signing Chris Maguire only to brush it right under the carpet when you realised he was actually pretty decent:lol:

He's not getting a game, so why should we pay what they valued him at, they clearly think they've Fooked up and will cut their losses as his value has depreciated....

The mentality of the numbnuts on here.....It's like going to buy 2nd had car and saying no probs, forget the £9,995 I'll give you the £15k it was worth 2 years ago 'cos I have nee Fookin commercial nous whatsoever

Grigg's an outstanding league one striker. If Eisa was worth a million, Will Grigg's definitely is. If you get him for 500k or less, that's a good price.
 
The thing is, Johnson marra, I wish you nowt but good in 2019 but you’ve clearly lost all perspective when it comes to the team. You’re actively taking a negative stance on anything and everything - often inventing stuff to get frustrated about - and it isn’t healthy tbh.

Do the club get everything right? Of course not. However, everything is underpinned by the desire to make us financially stable. It isn’t sexy but it’s undoubtedly the right thing to do for the long term. Accept the peeves, discuss them by all means but don’t continue to harp on about stuff when it’s marginal at best and has been politely reasoned away by two thirds of the board. And if you really are as negative about the team as you come across on here - or you are stuck in a rut of picking daft arguments - I’d strongly advise you give it a break as it simply isn’t a positive use of time.

You've went from being ultra defensive of all things Sunderland to massively over the top in whinging about things. It's been amusing to watch

It would be nice if he afforded the new owners the same grace he continues to do with Ellis Short like.

I don't think his points are bad. Just the way with words is over the top as is the reaction to them.

His figure of up to 200k is wrong anyway so no loss there;)

All I read on here is how we should be paying a million quid for Grigg, give Maja everything he asks for, it’s almost as if people think it’s a game.

It’s f***ing mental. Not only is the club on its arse financially (although getting better) but it’s obvious we’ve been overpaying for shite for years.

What is funny is Nixon on Twitter doubling down on his “scoop” when Donald has already said he’s wrong.

What's even worse is that we now have owners who are being pretty transparent when it comes to letting go the fans know what position the club is in.

All you have to do is listen to the podcasts and take in a few basic facts. Even this week Donald commented on how Bradford wanted £1m for Wyke, we wouldn't pay it, he negotiated and we got him for considerably less.

They reference how in effect they are spending the aupporters.oney when they buy and give contracts to players and so they have to be responsible and held to account for it.

He wants to get the best deal he can for the club and any supporter with a bit of nous should be glad of that.

Disagree. A lot of them are demonstrably bad takes that refuse to acknowledge our current reality-both from a financial and leauge position perspective

Then that's 2 different opinions which are to be encouraged rather than about 10 people discussing how wrong he is imo.

Exactly. Let’s just say Wigan want £500k for him and we offered this £100k (even though it’s likely bullshit). If we ended up getting him for £300k in this example that’s still good business imo.

And let’s not forget Wigan have already dealt with the new owners when we signed Power so it’s not as if there isn’t already a working relationship in place.

All those fella's on here who advocated acute austerity from the new owners anarl. Doesn't take long to forget.
 
The current owners don’t pay over the odds, so we’ll haggle, Levy style.
