http://www.safc.com/news/20110225/new-deal-for-boss-bruce_2256213_2302572 Topper news. Not since Roy Keane have we had a manager that inspires so much hatred from the mags, and he's doing a quality job into the bargain. He knocked them back twice to sign for us. Worra fella.
What a good day, we started with stories fresh in our minds of selling our players and Bruce walking, both untrue.
After a run of defeats steve bruce took advantage of no game last weekend to improve the team . He went looking for another beach ball
Fantastic news. Not the news of an 'unstable' club. National press? **** YOU. We are Sunderland, and we're coming...
Any of your lot not pleased about this? No genuine fan will be any less than delighted. The man has transformed the playing staff, in 18months, and when you do the maths, he's spent very little, net. Best manager of my lifetime, and i include Reid in that (close mind, who knows if he'd had the backing).
I'd say the majority are pleased like. Our major messageboard, while not always indictive of the matchday crowd, may give an indication (see if you can spot the stray mag) http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=573211
pleased with how hes has done so far, if we improve along the same lines we should all be walking with smiles on our faces
I posted the article below yesterday in response to the thread from the Wigan board re lack of ambition. Todays reports from the chief exec and Brucie signing a contract until 2014 just reiterates what I said. We are not a club in panic or financial meltdown but a club that is heading in the right direction onwards and upwards. Despite everthing we are told about what Niall says or doesn't say you have to remember we sold Bent because he wanted to go but we still brought in Sessegnon for 6mill. That doesn't seem like a club in panic or in a financial crisis. The roadshows with Quinnn should be interesting and at least whatever is said will come directly from the horses mouth. Think the key to it all is where Ellis Short stands and how much he is prepared to keep putting in. I understood part of the big plan was that Ellis would put in funding to clear debts and provide money to build a squad that sustained it's premiership status and then progress to become a force pushing towards the top end of the league. As part of this big plan I also was under the impression as the club progressed it would become less and less reliant on Ellis Shorts money. Of course all this is dependant on securing more revenue from other sources and therefore building our global image. I haven't seen anything change from that plan just a lot of people seemingly getting very jittery
Agreed mate. This is a big bit of business, securing a very decent manager, showing faith, and giving backing to his work to date. Combined with Walton's statement, which lit up my day, by the way, it's been a great day for the club, and us the fans
very pleased about it, it is nice to have a board and manager that you have confidence in and trust. was listening to 5live when they announced tiotes extended contract and one of the chaps said "good bit of business that, it means ashley can demand a bigger fee when they sell him in the summer" it would seem even radio presenters no longer trust mr ashley.
Anyone else think the Mags should **** off to their own board or is that just me ??? Especially that Bell End from down under....closet mackem
don't mind some of them, but the bell end from downunder is on my ignore list . he is a real tool and probably never been to a match in his life.
Well said Dick !!!! He is the one scumbag that really pisses me off. I can now even just about put up the Tadger from the Leazes !!
