Some on here just don't seem to get it. If he can't have a spending binge every window, he fails. Or walks.
Nicked from the Sunderland forum, Poster, what happened to the cabbage? Reply, He got sacked. Remembered with great fondness up there, or something like that.
remind us when he last walked, other than with the extreme provocation of the chuckle brothers. with dosh, he's a fair bet for championshion escape. admittedly his prem record is feeble.
Best manager that ever lived. As if it matters. Just look at the players he’s had to manage in his time at Villa. He’s flat out failed, being in the playoffs was a failure. That team he had last season was head and shoulders above any team that had ever played in this division, Newcastle and our own ridiculously strong 15/16 side included.
Why does the fact that he’s a liar, a cheat and a fraud always get overlooked even by those who purport to dislike him? He’s a ****ing bellend of a man, that’s the biggest issue far above anything football related.
When Sunderland sacked Steve Bruce they were 16th in the Premier League, since that time they've had unparalleled success. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Sacked by Sunderland after his, oft repeated forte here, post New Year collapse. In his short spell there something like 30 players were signed or loans. Nor did he have a Plan B. All sound a bit familiar?
Fantastic to see him back in work so quickly. Can't keep a good man down. Pete Bentham and the dinner ladies performing at Springhead last night, supporting Ming City Rockers
**** me. Is that Pete Bentham from Liverpool - well known head on the music scene there - at least a few years back?
it was indeed. He was really good. The dancing dinner ladies added a bit of cabaret, going in the audience wiping us down with mops. He played classics such as Queen Victoris knob'! 'Dead is punk' and 'the Gothic postman'.
Met him a few times in Liverpool 'round the new millenium time. Remember him booking bands at the Masque theatre.
Had a brief chat with him after the gig. First time playing in Hull, but as you say he’s clearly been around a looooooong time. They were heading from Anlaby to play at a Butlins Alternative weekend in Skegness. That did sound a good weekend I have to say, even though I imagine there’s a gradual decrease in original band members every year! (UK Subs, Spear of Destiny, Sham 69, Exploited, Boomtowm Rats, Rezillos, Bad Manners, New Model Army...and Pete Bentham)
Did you actually say New Model Army? Jesus H Christ..........Memories..... After a gig in Stratford East London, many MANY moons ago, early band days, I honestly think my now partial hearing loss was set on its way from being by the main speakers for a couple of hours or so. ****ing great times. One of the best bands, period, ever, good to see they're still going strong. I better re-immerse myself.
