.... and enjoy the calm before the storm. It is going to be a very long day. Ms Byrne has been at her desk since 5.30 am making sure that there is plenty of ink in the photocopier and fax machine and ensuring that she has everybody's e-mail addresses primed for action. Contracts written in draft including all the additional Abbie Clancy Clauses, German translations and even a bit of Senegalese perhaps. Quinny is off site or still in bed!, he could have a very busy day (might need his helicopter to get round all of those rumoured to be on their way to the SOL). Hope he remembers that today is about bringing in the Quality and retaining the class we have already got without being ripped off in a 'Levy type fashion'. Bruce, cut the geordie waffle and focus on putting together the sort of team that we can be justifiably proud of. No hesitation, no compromises, no being 'happy with what I've got', no 'what might of been', no 'nearly there - but no time', and then lets get on with achieving and giving Sunderland's wonderful supporters the sort of season that will live long in the memory and be the start of the most successful era for this great club. I will now go and walk the dog and expect the SAFC team to get on and DO IT!!!
