    I hope not, don’t want the soul ripped out of our club for the sake of sports washing. No matter how rich we would be.

    Had a quick pint after work and the pub know all was telling me I'd be happy with any despot who got us into the Champions League like Newcastle.

    I honestly wouldn't.

    To me it's like going out on the town with a beautiful escort ...

    ... she looks great but in your heart you know it's fake and everyone really thinks you're a loser.

    He was blind drunk, in the Hilton, the night after the game when FPP were here to tie up the takeover ...

    ... buying people drinks and grinning about the money that was coming.

    He was further out of his depth than the mini-sub that imploded.

    Not that I like the man, but if Jack Ross had not ballsed it up he would have had us promoted.

    Even if we were promoted it wouldn't have ended well. The only positive thing he ever did was selling to KLD.

    This. We’d be like Sheff Wed are now. Struggling for points with a hopeless owner in charge.

    Real Madrid is interested in one of our players, if that isn’t an endorsement I don’t now what is.

    and this whole players are young and can only get better can be said about Speakman and our owner as well.

    SD literally came out and said during an interview it was Sunderland fans. Even said they ended up having a laugh about it. You know, like you do when someone's tried to kidnap your daughter.
    On second thoughts, aye you're right....a looney.

    From his interview with The Times.

    "Sunderland owner Stewart Donald says he is “desperately trying to get out" of the club, citing the harassment of his family.

    "It's resulted in some not nice situations for myself and my family", he told the BBC.

    The businessmen said his 11-year-old daughter had been approached by three angry fans at a bus stop near Oxfordshire home."

    He also said it during one of the podcasts he did....that's when he said they ended up having a laugh about it all.
    I thought at the time that the lads doing the interview should have called him out on it.
    Might have been WMS, but not 100% sure.
