    For Short, Sunderland is just a part of his business portfolio, right now its a diminishing asset and given what he does for a living, he will try and dispose at the best possible price or the best deal for him. He has no emotional attachment to any of his businesses, most very successful people are the same. I can only think of Steve Gibson at the Boro that bucks that trend

    Thatcher had lots of intel regarding the threat from Argentina and could have saved all those lost lives if she had acted upon it and shored up the defences there..

    It's diminishing because of him, not the lowly peasants who worked their fingers to the bone for him. The reason why he's doing is obvious, doesn't change my opinion, he represents everything that I find wrong with the world, a Tory-esque capitalistic bellend who'll walk over everyone and everything for his own personal finance.

    We're supposed to make excuses for his personal quest for greed and power? **** that, I'm firmly on the side of the people dumped out out of employment cause just because the greedy prick couldn't run a bath.

    He did save us from almost certain administration when Drumaville collapsed and for that I’m grateful.

    He did initially try and build the team up but didn’t have the first clue how to deal and let pissheads run the brewery, he may have initially saved the club, but as sole owner he needed to learn or take advice, he eventually has a good one in Bain, far too late, and as such he has to take the blame.

    The ultimate decisions, all of them, were his.

    I’m no fan of short but these “are you watching” and “short out” chants make no sense. He can’t be sacked or removed by force, he also isn’t in the position to simply walk away (we all wish he’d simply walk away), but would you walk away if an offer doesn’t meet your valuation of something that you’re selling?

    Let’s just all hope the same. He finds a suitable buyer quickly. The support was toxic yesterday, but mostly aimed at short.

    He'll leave us in pretty much an identical position in which he found us. Probably a bit worse in reality. He's been a waste of time and money, his and the fans.

    I don't hate him. I just hope he sells soon and puts football behind him.

    Corbyn wasn't in charge at the time, but I do not agree with his stance on the Falklands now..

    How can an upfront pacifist be a rat? Serious question, you can accuse a pacifist of many things, soft, cowardly, spineless. But rat? <confused>

    Corbyn is far from a rat imo, just because he won't sacrifice his principle and become a lemming(which is a rodent by the way). He's deceived nobody, he's always made his principles known and stuck to them. No matter what what anybody thinks of those principles he's always been an open book on them and consistent with them so far from a rat.

    i am aware of that and never said he was in charge, if he had been he would have given them anything they asked for to appease.

    Nope, just asked google and it hasn't seen it either. Even if that's what you meant by rat it bears no relevance to the conversation in which you referred to him as a rat in regards to the Falklands. I thought it was a political discussion going on, not a flick through the pages of Heat Magazine <laugh>

    Ehh? How has he deceived anybody over student fees? He didn't get into to power so hasn't been in a position to go back on promise.

    You simply can't hold a losing party accountable for not following through on their manifesto promises as they lost.
