    My recollection was BSA was about to walk as Shorts son decided he wanted a tennis business in sunny California rather than a football team in the NE... and funds were directed away from Sunderland AFC.

    Maybe. But we still spewed money out on those two. Moyes just raided his old address book.

    Thankfully, all in the past!!

    I always say this! If BSA hadn't went to England he might have walked away anyway. I remember watching an interview of him at the summer training camp abroad and he basically said "owner isn’t backing me, won't sign any players I want, its far from ideal way to start a season and Im not happy!"

    It was going to end in tears anyway if he stayed imo!

    Think he said recently in an interview that he was lining up players and had a basic agreement from Short on what he was going for. Everything passed through the filter of time of course.

    I think the sensible reasonable ambition would be minimal aim of 17th to make sure we stay up, anything higher should be seen as a bonus (ofcourse the owner wants more), but stay up this year, we continue to build. I think it's safe to say that we want to stay grounded and not appear to look like them up the road.

    Matter of time now I think. Especially now he’s said he wants to come here and he only has a year left and won’t sign a new deal

    Do we reckon Lucumi sat and watched the game, the scenes with the fans, the atmosphere and the way the players were all so hyped and thought ‘you know what, **** it’

    Looks like somethings changed his mindset.

    Sorry to clog the thread, but just want to say thank you for all the support and well wishes I've received recently.

    My wife had her operation today and had the tumour fully removed from her spine. It took quite a while (it was about 8cm) so my arse was twitching all day. But hopefully this is the start to her full recovery.

    Thanks again for your support, and haway the wizards <cheers>

    Best wishes for a speedy recovery for her. Also, although she is your priority, and rightly so, please make sure you look after yourself.
    My wife is still in hospital and they still dont know where her infection is coming from and they are doing tests for potential blood clot in her right leg. She couldn't bear any weight on it after using a commode today and they had to use a hoist to get her back into bed, just as I was arriving this afternoon, after which she zonked out with the painkillers and antibiotics. Fortunately they stopped me going into the room until it was done.
    I only say this as I have felt **** all day but reading your message puts it into perspective and made me realise I also need to look after myself.
    Good luck FPDP :emoticon-0152-heart
