Serious takeover talk

[BigPete]

I live in Gateshead, most mags aren't as vicious about Safc compared to many on RTG.

I've grown up in Tyneside and I can 100% confirm they are... been called a dirty mackem bastard, sad mackem bastard etc even when I was 7 year old wearing my strip on sports days.

RTG probably gets more vicious towards them because they constantly pop up only to take the piss and the mods let them get away with it.

 

[Nig]

Or something along them lines anyway.

As long as we dont get above our station.

Me too, born and bred Whickham, never ever took a backward step though and never will.

I can see your train of thought

FPP appear to be building a platform for success.. first of all by making the Scotsman fly. We just can't get carriage away while we don't fully know their train of thought.. they aren't in far enough for them not to be able to pull out and their interest could easily hit the buffers.

Whitley Bay/Cramlington and same even got my nephew supporting Sunderland he will get **** but he won't be bothered as loves coming to watch the lads

He's entitled to his opinion providing he's prepared for a response.

There's a tendency on forums to polarise absolutely everything which people believe enhances their argument. I think it diminishes it because it looks exaggerated and unreasonable. It's obviously not just 'a few idiots' no more than it's the majority. Players aren't 'shyte' because they're struggling with a new system, or suffering from a lack of confidence, and aren't Kings because they score against Tranmere.

The internet makes people behave very strangely at times.

This is very true by the way. And not just regarding football.

The internet makes people behave strangely because all the people who are too scared to say anything in person have free reign online to say what they want with no repercussions.

There are posters who are themselves and others will know them and then you have the trolls and WUMs who hide behind "zaney" usernames. I bet a lot of them on RTG don't even support Sunderland they are only there because it is a popular forum with high traffic.

Probably had **** growing up so feel the need to lash out anonymously but if you think about it surely if you did and your doing it now then take a long hard look in mirror as you knew how it felt as had it done to yourself.

Then you just get the out right sociopaths who enjoy other peoples suffering which once again wouldn't revel in it in someones face as would rightly so get put on your arse.

What made you support us ?

 

[wtdog]

What made you support us ?

Got taken to Roker first, 1976 and it stuck. Think I liked going on the train..

 

[T_Bone]

Did you get much stick ?
Did you let them know who you supported ?

I agree about Quinn, have never made any claims about his ability.

Levy however, has proved he has 'football brains', and has shown the value of an astute appointment by the man in charge.
Must be nice.

But he has gained those 'football brains'while working there.
No one could have foreseen he had an innate natural affinity for the football business. That is a ludicrous assertion.
Byrne was and is held in utter disdain for being a woman ...ie what do lasses know about football blah blah blah. Her big mistake was Adam Johnson. She handled that badly but that was nothing to do with football brains.
I have said before that Bain was probably the most football savvy CEO we ever had.
He had a baptism of fire at rangers ( where you would have thought he would have learnt by his and the mistakes of others) and at maccabi ( Israel's man utd ). Compared with most an impeccable football business/brain cv ( complete with tertiary education and marketing experience ). He was undoubtedly the worst we ever had.
Sorry but yours and the logic of many others re football brains is a crock

I don't think the fact she was a female had anything to do with the way she was regarded.

Imho, that had far more to do with her lack of relevant/suitable experience for the post - from secretary to Chief Exec in 4 years!

I think a quick glance at the contracts she authorised, in addition to the PDC & AJ fiascos give an insight into why she is held in such disdain and that's leaving aside her behaviour, as an agent, since leaving the club.

Mate. We've been over this before. Last week.

She's been solely judged by her performance at work.

Let's not make this a sexism issue and another way to tarnish a fan base.

Never heard anyone at the match,
on here or RTG mention her performance as Sunderland's CEO and her gender in correlation.

Is Congerton viewed differently because of his gender? no.
How's about Altidore? No.

You've got more chance of being on the mysterious St James Park waiting list than hear anyone slag Byrne off for being a woman. Her job wasn't to be a footballing genius but a CEO of a football club. She failed at that and is rightly judged to have been a negative effect on SAFC. Not because she bleeds out of her minge.

Haha. You're an idiot mate.

You could have replied with some evidence of the supposed sexist Sunderland fans, how she ultimately failed because she is a woman and was unable to perform properly because of said sexist Sunderland fans.

Stating that women bleed out of their minges isn't sexist. Trying to justify removal of a female CEO because she bleeds out of her minge is sexist. I hope that clears up the difference between an observation on a billion year old product of evolution and sexism.

Are you on a wind up?
The spurs owner looked at Levy, thought his ability could transfer to football, used his judgement, and was right.
It wasnt a random guess!
Meanwhile we had an owner who used his 'judgement' to appoint de fanti et al.

Bain, impeccable football brain!!!
Byrne held in disdain for being a woman!!!

Fool.

What part of Margaret Byrne's gender is immaterial does he not understand? Margaret Byrne is universally despised by all Sunderland fans for her complete ineptitude after being given free reign at the club. She is 99% responsible for the complete basket case of a club that we became, which eventually ended up with succesive relegations. That despite wasting nearly a quarter of a billion pounds of Ellis Short's money on her watch. She then had the temerity to become a football agent for players that she gave their contracts while CEO thus having inside knowledge of those contracts, and boasted that Lee Cattermole "would not leave a penny behind" despite knowing the club was in real danger of going to the wall. Despicable and we would have said the same were she a man.
