What’s he said mate?

On the thread about rate Donald, he's put:

10 and his stock is rising

When someone laughed at that he said:

Remember your words tomoz

Then when someone asked if he was taking the piss he said:

Read it again mate then think about it long and hard
Bed time happy days tomorrow, good night

Maybe he just ****ing loves Phil Parkinson like, but he definitely thinks something good is on the horizon. Mind after this saga I don't listen to anyone whether they seem to be itk or not! I'm guessing tomorrow will be **** and we'll appoint Parkinson! You'd have to think any good news that would reflect well on Donald would be takeover related though, unless Parkinson is a ruse and he's actually appointing Mourinho!

I believe he gets good information but like others it doesn’t always come true. But FPP and Jose tomorrow would be canny. :emoticon-0105-wink:

McGeady holds onto it too long, he always seems to feel the need to take on the defender two or three times. He's comfortably our best player but also frustrating as hell at times. If he just got the ball, got to the byline and crossed the ball as quick as he could he'd be more dangerous than he already is
Maybe AM holds onto to it too long because his final option is to pass to wyke pr grigg.
Hobson's choice

It would! Like I say I'll take it with a pinch of salt, but at least he's just saying tomorrow, so not long to wait to find out if there's anything, takeover or otherwise, to be positive about!

'Never in the history of football endeavour has so much 5hit been shoveled by 1 man over so many in so short a time'
 
FPP coming on board is the only way SD can redeem himself to the Sunderland supporters
I'd say also getting a proper manager on board will be needed.
The turgid fayre that ross was dredging up has left a lot fans dismayed also.
No one expects much better from parkinson, other than a tighter defence, but only time will tell.
Even Howard Wilkinson was received with more gusto than parkinson due to his having an excellent CV. Mind he sharp showed he was a 24 carat head the ball.
Parkinson is only being tolerated because he is hobson's choice. It's got hills prints all over it this appt

Just a load of words with zero functionality or message.
 
I thought the same as you one time,as I say he's a well connected bloke.

Doesn't give anything away now as I think he's been rained in,but he does give bits of clues out ,
He certainly does know stuff and is well connected.

I can't work out if he's mates with Parkinson, has heard good things about him or something else.

Is his 10 a reference to takeover or investment or a former players number?

I'll be watching with interest.
 
Parsnip Bob is adamant today will be a good day. I know for a fact that he has connections in football but I think he possibly believes too much as fact not just footballer gossip. Unless he is a huge Parkinson fan it’s worth keeping an eye on.

I’m also disappointed that it seems that the Americans may not be as on board as I was hoping, based I’ll say purely on rumours on rtg posted by a few, I think, well meaning folks, and I’m disappointed that we look like getting a first division manager, although we are, let’s be honest here, an average first division club at the minute, but ffs I’m not putting a fatwah on Donald for it.

None of us know why the Americans haven’t completed. Somebody on rtg says “he’s probably wanting to retain control “, somebody else says “he seems to wants more money”, somebody else says “looks like he’s moving the goalposts”, finally somebody says “Nathan O’Brien has been pictured with him, and the Americans, he might be either commercial director or an investor “. Nobody knows the truth, only those involved, but those posts, and sadly I scribbled the just of them down a week ago, have lead to this outpouring on sd. Add to that these conspiracy dicks who now believe Donald and methven are pulling off a Bernie Madoff sized scam with their own businesses monies and hey presto, we now have an owner who rivals Mike Ashley in popularity.

And what’s he actually done that we can say hand on heart, not what we think, or worse still that somebody’s cousins best mates uncle thinks, he’s entered in to talks with a few interested investors who will inject capital at a time when its needed, he’s still talking to them, he’s dismissed a failing manager, and is trying to attract a replacement, with a limited budget for both his wages and player recruitment in January, at a club where our expectations far outweigh our ability, he managed our finances to a point where we’re not in immediate danger of doing a Bolton or a bury. Yup we should get the pitchforks out, he’s a ****ing monster.

I’m not a massive fan of the lad, he gans on like a dick trying to be the people’s champ all the time, I’d rather he acted like a millionaire, a bit aloof, and looking like he oozes money, but he doesn’t, but let’s see it as it is, if the investors walk away, well we’re no worse off than we were two months ago. If we get Parkinson, well we needed rid of Ross he couldn’t get the team playing, none of this needs be Donald’s fault, in fact it might be a plus for the club, we don’t know.
 
Have heard similar regarding today and investment like. I posted last night that i am sure donald knows the uproar this appointment has caused and would need to have something alongside it to soften the blow.
