This, the day that I turn into one of those fans expecting to win everything and not be that bothered when trophies come along, then I will forget football altogether. Even after the 2014 Capital One Cup, drinking in London, an outsider wouldn’t have been able to tell you which colours had won. Had we been victorious, London would have knew about it. And I remember that Watford day only too well, we done the conga outside all of the way back to the coaches, again you'd think we had won. The top end of football is spoilt, it’s all about them, the cups, the leagues, with a few smatterings of small timers in between. We go to watch our team win, it doesn’t always end that way but so what, it’s my team, my club and I will do anything to protect it. I won’t go into hiding because we have spiralled from The Premier League to the 3rd tier, I take pride in that we still take thousands home and away. No one will take that away, but it also doesn’t mean I have to support crooked owners. I have been here a lot longer and so has the club, it will be there in some shape or form for many years to come, I might not be, but I want a league club that my son can be proud of and make no bones about it, despite being born and spending his formative years in Leicester, he sure is. I meet up with the Melton lads on a few occasions as well. Lads who have no affiliation to the City of Sunderland whatsoever, but attended a game and got the buzz. You will see their flag all over the country and I have been behind it a few times, standing proud with them.
They are bullshit artists and only speak so they can cover up their real motive for "buying" the club. That was to sell it on for a massive profit at the earliest opportunity. The **** hit the fan big style at the play off final and they have been rudderless since, even the level of bullshit they produce is drying up lately. Sadly I think we are stuck with them for the foreseeable because no one will meet Donald's asking price especially since the start of The Event.
If fpp come in it’ll be over that, a little bit of hope and we know what we are as fans then we’ll flock back
The whole town would turn out if they just had something to believe in ... ... Stokoe knew that and he wasn't even one of us. Paisley knew it, Robson knew it, Clough knew it, even Allardyce knew it. They were just always in the wrong place at the wrong time ... ... eventually the right man will show up at the right time as Ranieri showed at Leicester. Haway lads, were Sunderland ... .. be proud and it'll happen.
If Sky carry on, the way they're going, it'll be, "Almost 12 months of hurt since ****** last won a major trophy ... ... you can't help but feel for those supporters'.
I think everybody is proud mate but there comes a point where you have to say enough is enough but don’t worry that bloke will eventually turn up and the place will be rammed again just not with these twats here.
And followed up in RTG with: “Probably a load of rubbish but a lad I know who isn’t one for talking rubbish reckons his mate is part of a group who’s been under the radar and there’s a takeover going to be announced today by a consortium Dubai/Manchester based” “
Fingers crossed for something good , I think we all need it. On the one hand I've heard absolutely no rumblings at all from RAWA, but of course there's always a chance that there's plenty going on that they have no idea about (often they hear from potential buyers because they contact them to discuss the club with the fans group, but no doubt plenty of groups wouldn't bother). On the positive side the season card thing has been so incredibly poor for a business that needs cash flow that it has almost felt as if they aren't bothered, similar to when they didn't promote the play off semi final because they thought the club was being sold so it wasn't their problem anymore. Can't say I'm optimistic but you never know
