    That was incredible

    Serious takeover talk

    If the finishing line is indeed finally here, and I believe this article far more than anything printed in The Sun, then you deserve a big drink mate with the abuse you’ve taken along the way. I imagine many people (over the road) owe you an apology, but I don’t think they’ll be forthcoming.

    What’s the BBC bit, sounds promising, Is this a recent development? Have I missed something?

    It's parkinson

    I’m not defending Jack Ross. What I’m saying is before the Coventry game on the 13th April, the 41st of the season, we were in second, a point clear with a game in hand and averaging 2 points per game. What would you have expected Stewart Donald to do at this point? What happened in the final 6...

    It's parkinson

    As I’ve said in a later post, up until the Coventry game we were well on course to go up. Even after this game I don’t remember a clamour to sack Jack Ross. In fact, had he been sacked, a lot of people would have been seriously questioning the decision. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Not...

    It's parkinson

    I was referring more to being in L1 in the first place and the club being in the position where cost cutting was a necessity. I agree, failure to gain promotion last season was a failure. I would place more of that blame at Ross’ door than Donald’s however. Up until the Coventry game we were on...

    - Has he ever gave us a deadline for the investment, I’m not on about updates, I’m on about an actual deadline investment would be secured? - He backed a manager yes, then as results and performances rapidly deteriorated and the supporters feelings declined towards said manager he felt it was...

    It's parkinson

    Sorry like, I do not believe for one second Phil Parkinson has turned us down. It’s ridiculous the amount of rumours from ‘reliable sources’ being thrown out, about the manager and takeover. If people wish to believe them all fair enough, even though many contradict each other, but to vilify SD...

    Next manager

    His performance in the 4-2 away win at Chelsea was right up there with the best I’ve seen from a Sunderland player. He was quality.

    Next manager

    The team between around 98 and 01 was a joy to watch. It had a bit of everything. The best strike force we are ever likely to see with support from either wing. Summerbee was one of the best crosses of a ball I’ve ever seen and Johnson and Gray on the left linked up so well. We had a good...

    Ross gone

    Correct decision. It’s a shame it never worked out for him, he comes across as a decent bloke. I’d say this confirms the takeover is over as well.
