Summer window

Carried on under O'Neill as well. Led the mutiny against Di Canio.

Ideal role model.

 

Have a like

 

Did he? How do you know that?

He also played a big role under every manager we had, and we had a lot during his time here.
You won’t convince me he’d be anything but a great addition to the club.

 

I seen that too. Didn't click the link so not sure what role was advertised. Wouldn't be surprised to see Danny Collins get in though

 

Len Ashurst. Unassuming chap but absoulutely hard as nails when he crossed that white line.

 

It was well known locally and reported at the time.

His agent was Maggie Byrne. Remember the carry on when he finally left?

His time here is littered with issues that even on their own are 'if that doesn't tell you all you need to know' red flags.

Yes, he played well at times. Usually when there was a new manager to impress, and once that was done it was feet up time. Suspension or injury over Christmas and new year, lovely jubbly....

How quickly we forget. He wasn't a model pro in amongst all the drunks and halfwits we had over the years, he was the common denominator.

But he's changed this time, he'll be better....

 

aye like...got to be said like, everyone scared to be honest like.

Good news re Clarke

 

Think it was u18 head coach and a development phase coach- or something like that

 

You must have been a very naughty boy, then!
Do what I do - buy yourself something you’ve wanted for a long time, even if it means going into debt; but keep it manageable.

 

Maybe you just only want to see the bad press? He’s one of my favorite players to play for Sunderland so maybe like you I only want to see the good in him?

if the club decide he’s worth a position that’s good enough for me as they do a lot of research into players and staff now.

We can all stop refreshing Twitter now Atleast

 

not one to get into a hissy fit with the club but i honestly hope they are not simply waiting for the loan market to open up...by all means use it for 'extra cover' but with the obvious problems involved in getting strikers i would prefer to have at least two of our own rather than losing them again and the search starting over again.

 

Ffs...

@Phil__Smith
Says club are looking at loan market - deals that tend to happen towards the end of the window

 

We certainly dont look like a club with ambitious to build on last year and go for promotion. Its becoming more and more apparent that is not on our agenda.

 

Nothing new to report then. We knew that already?

 

As much as I like him Speakman needs to improve on his communication. Why say ‘immediate opportunities’ if 2 weeks later there’s no sign of anything? I remain calm on the situation but it’s clearly an issue

 

Things change. Nothing to say he had something lined up and the goal posts moved?

 

Folk would moan if he didnt say anything in the 1st place. He clearly thought something was close to happening thats why he said it but transfers change so quickly - especially this summer

Id rather he didnt say anything at all until after the window has closed

 

well mate, i just leave it to the club these days, i would of course be a happier fella if all deals were done and we all knew what we had to deal with...but there is always the chance that any late deals could fall flat at the last minute, nothing i can do to change anything so let's hope they have it all sorted, as i believe they have
