Serious takeover talk

What other credentials are needed?

 

Be plenty talk but nee action.

 

For example,the ability to get hold of a teammate.....any teammate,.... who's brain has gone walkabout and get him back into line. O9 doesn't have that experience.....yet,imo.

 

I'm not one for experience. Its over rated and imo an excuse to not have faith in 'younger' players.

I also think that type of character has gone from the game tbh

 

I understand. Imo,above all else,the captain needs to be someone who commands the respect of his teammates,someone they will listen to and be inspired by. Younger players can have it,it's not an age thing,but Luke,as much as I love him,has not yet generated the elevation of stature which,imo,is required. It's not I don't think it could come in the future,it's more that I think he's feeling his way just yet.

 

I wasn't suggesting it needed to be aggressive.

 

They’ll be out of date by now !

 

Bottles in my fridge don't hang around long enough to get of date marra.....in the modern world I think it's called a FIFO supply chain of constant replenishment!

 

Just in time logistics I believe... FIFO will ensure that your beer doesn't go out of date.. (not that there's a risk!)

 

Thanks mate......just in time logistics,that's what it is........showing my age there!!

 

O9 & 09....

Wish we had a team full with his energy, enthusiasm and talent....

Where did he find that long throw in from ?
It's quite a weapon..

 

deal done in 48 hours... rolling news read it here

 

So fed up of hanging every hope I have on this takeover. But it's all we've got

 

I've actually gave up, I'm concentrating on Southend on Saturday.

 

I do wish it was announced, one way or the other so we could all just focus on the football. There is dragging it out and then there is this...

 

Another leak from someone within which has lead to nothing happening.

I can’t see this going through now in any shape or form.

 

Hope we're wrong,but it's not looking positive now.

 

There's nothing I can add, I've posted everything I've been told and am just waiting like everyone else.

I was told that there'd be a statement last week and there wasn't.

Then I was told Monday and that passed.

I was told that by someone in good faith and now he feels bad for telling me. I feel bad for getting people's hopes up but, if I'm given another date I'll post it. When all is said done no one dies if I'm wrong and no one will believe me 100% until there's a club statement in any case.

Donald & Methven may well be doing a great job, behind the scenes, but these 'imminent' leaks aren't helping.

 

It is Sunderland after all, it's what we do.

 

Not your fault mate, just one of those things it's Sunderland after all
