RIP Argus

[LBW]

To be fair the last Sunderland manager Geoff was involved with was Peter Reid, that's a long time ago.

Sadly the Echo has become a sad shadow of what it was and the relationship with the club had faded long ago.

Donald and Methven, and the way they destroyed the fabric of the club, ruined many of the various links to the past.

KLD has had to rebuild the entire club and bring in a new staff who know nothing about the old days.

He's only 25 years old himself so wasn't even born when Geoff retired.

The soul of the club is in a much better state than it ever was under Short or Donald and his mate.

People of our age have nostalgic memories of Argus, peanuts and Roker pies but that past is rapidly becoming a distant country.

A representative would still have been nice and a touch of class. We still have Monty and other ex pros around the club that are "looked after" we should have at least paid some form of respect. I dont think there is any malice there but a poor oversight on the clubs behalf. Still time to put it right though.

I totally agree it would've been good for the club to have sent someone ...

... although nothing to stop Monty and others showing up.

I wonder if the Echo thought to send the club the details of the service.

God knows. I would still expect some tribute of sorts to come out, I do think we are normally very good in situations like this. Like I said, still time
