  4. ****ing hell. He could literally see Ashton Gate from his vantage point when he thought that. Its like crapping your pants next to the Chanel factory and thinking “yeah, I could be the best smelling thing around here”

  9. Fair enough Michelle. If you wanna spend more time with the Major, it's over between us. We're finished. But don't come crying to me when the Major dumps you for another.

  11. I haven't looked this time but in their original, qualified accounts, I think they claimed receipt of the total value of the stadium sale (sic) for FFP purposes whilst at the time not having banking a penny. I'm assuming for FFP one isn't allowed to utilise monies that may, or may not, be advanced in future accounting periods? That would make a complete mockery of what's already a farce. Clubs could agree to transfer players with compulsory buy back to resolve any overspend in any reporting period.

  12. I had completely forgotten about this story after the last year we've had. Shows how quickly the news cycle moves.

  13. In other news.... Had a quick glance at Wikipedia and curiosity got the better of me, so I had a look at the career of one Joey Barton. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joey_Barton By my reckoning, his career fines both FA and Club fines, is far more than a 'Tilson'. So what we can learn from this, is that Joey has spent more being a footballer, than the Blue Few have being a football club.

  14. Correct; a 4-1 win and they are still in the bottom four.

  15. Very much so. It's not like he's never had a good run before when he's had injuries. I would expect him to lose in the play offs (it is Sunderland after all), lose some players, sign some players, struggle to know what he wants to do and history repeats itself. Ultimately I'm not fussed either way, that's just my prediction, he's gone thankfully. One thing I know is that looking at how our players can barely execute the most basic of football skills during a match day these days (and it's been getting progressively worse over the last few years to this point) I am delighted we will never have him, Holden and Macca "coaching" anyone at this football club again. Sunderland can go up or stay down, we should feel lucky he's not our problem anymore.

  17. EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide. It doesn't discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society - from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers. It's the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes. And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women. Yet it's rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice.

  19. There were accidents of timing tbh- had LJ came in first and Cotts 2nd, Cotts would have benefited from the increased attendances, commercial revenue- still a case to be made that Cotts should perhaps have held firm and patient a bit in 2015/16 and started to build from a stronger base in 2016/17 as finances rose.

  20. if his name was John Leeson, people would be talking about him as one of the better city managers, alot lot of hate lee gets is purely due to him being lee johnson from people who never liked him as a player

  21. SC is mad as a box of frogs, and anyone that has spent even a short time in his company (as I have, and know others that have spent much more time with him) would tell you that. Did he sometimes come across as calm, polite and amiable? Yes. Did he also have a foul temper and was liable to unprovoked rants where he would come across as unhinged? Yes. At Pompey he was intensely disliked by players, staff and supporters. His half-time talks would frequently be heard pitchside as he screamed at players, one time memorably going around the changing room and pointing at each player and screaming "****" in their faces. He was said to be bitter about what the players earned and frequently raised their salaries in rants. When he came back managing Forest he allegedly threatened to stab Dave Kitson outside the players entrance. He was frequently rude and aggressive to members of staff, a trait followed through at Ashton Gate, screaming at groundstaff among others. The latter just does not fit into modern football management and with SC it is always a matter of time before he blows up, as he did at City. Did he have legitimate grievances? Yes. Were the Lansdown family partly responsible for screwing up summer 2015? Yes. But he could have played the hand he was given much better than he did, and no offence to the revisionists but within just a couple of months LJ had turned the team around from getting pumped 3-0 at the likes of Rotherham to beating Sheff Weds 4-1 at home, guiding us to safety comfortably. People are mocking opposition fans' opinions of LJ. Go on some football forums - other than this one - and find me anything other than mocking and ridicule of SC. Not saying it's justified, but the reality is he has a poor reputation and that is part of the reason he has been out of work for so long. Shrewsbury is a perfect job for him and he will do well, but let's not pretend that makes him suitable for this job right now, or that it was anything other than the right decision to sack him back in 2016.
