To be fair mate that's a difficult one to answer because he may have learnt a vital lesson of not letting a bunch of ****ers spend his money on s hite also we would have a owner who was a billionaire instead of somebody who hasn't a pot to piss in and people seem to forget he spent hundreds of millions which was wasted and still baled us out so who has the club most to heart Short or Donald?
You said this season is the lowest point in Sunderland history. I'm saying that the last 2 seasons under short were our worst in recent history, in debt and on the verge of financial collapse, even if Short did pay off the debt in the end (was that out of the goodness of his heart, or because he couldn't sell the club if not and didn't want to face his name being dragged through the mud if we went into administration)
I'd say the club is better run financially now than it was under Short.
I honestly would prefer a financially stable club, run within it's means than a billionnaire owner pissing money down the drain getting us further and further in debt, making awful decisions both on and off the field.
Donald may have handled the takeover badly (but that boat hasn't sailed yet imo) , but otherwise he's done alright by us so far.
Right now I'm cautiously optimistic about the future. Naturally, if we can get new billionaire owners who know what they're doing and make good decisions, then I'd be not only optimistic but bloody over the moon. But that's a big if - First we need to get the new owners (whoever they maybe) , then we have to see how well they'll run the place.
Anyway, there is a difference between being down about the current situation and making **** up just to have another excuse to have a go at the current regime (to be clear, that isn't you)
