    I would love to see K.Brady added to the team. I find he speaks so much sense compared to most of the ex pros.

    Do you think they'll sink money into signing players for the academy to compete with other Cat A clubs? or just spend money on the academy to improve what we have?

    Seemed heavily involved in recruitment last summer. That part of his role is now redundant. I can't really see any reason to keep him on other than he's a good bloke and has a few contacts. Hopefully our new structure will address all this

    Been a couple of times, once Snowboarding the other was a driving trip I did throughout Europe. If you go, take a lot of spending money and I mean a lot <laugh>

    Yup, save your pennies. I remember a lunch costing me close to £200 when i was out there a couple of summers ago - there were 4 of us eating salad & pasta, no booze. That was Geneva. We were staying with family, so popped over to France for provisions and barbequed / drank at home a lot after a swim in the lake/ day trips. I'd like to go back for the Montreaux jazz festival one year.

    It looks a class place mate and I’ve always fancied going as well, but aye I’ve heard it’s very pricey.

    Best thing to happen to this club in the last fifty years nobody is going to change that unless they’ve never seen him play for us.

    Can't help falling in love is the Sunderland song for me, i know some don't like it but it brings a lump to my throat.
    I just had to learn it on guitar.

    Mixed feelings about the badge, I asked cheeses of Nazareth to put the old in the new. He shopped it and I thought it looked canny.

    Maybe just add a black cat :)
    We were most successful with that .

    I know mate, there's a lot worse off than me.
    This takeover is great news and a good spirit lifter though :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Maurice accepted my Instagram request last night. Just had a look through who he follows and he follows Charlie Wyke!

    I was asked to repossess a very expensive Buick Supercharger from Antwerp. I took two of my teenage sons from Nice, flew them to Brussels, left them for the day and went off to repo the car. I got it and we zigzagged across Europe in a mad car with the best music system I've ever seen or heard.

    I knew I'd blow my fee but it was all a mad adventure, then we arrived in Geneva, to stay the night, and had a lovely evening at a restaurant on the lake ...

    ... budget blown to smithereens <laugh>
