I don't take this as a dig at me.

But the ball constantly being played behind a players of mediocre ability has a negative effect on the flow of football being played.
Also the fact we give the ball away gifts possession to the other team. Playing players in the wrong place and being unable to play the ball infront or to feet is what can I say. ****ing ****e.. This comes across as obvious but it where we are.

We were great at knocking it about in our own half until we lost possession. <laugh>

Poyet was playing out dated tippy tappy **** with an incapable squad while the rest of the league were attacking space with venom. Have to say I preferred watching everybody else with their quick direct attacking football. Rest of the league were equiring lighting fast brick **** houses while we're signing plain old **** houses. <laugh>

Interesting seeing calls for Keane, Poyet and Di Canio. As far as I'm concerned they're all failures as managers and Poyet aside are very rusty when it comes to club football.

We had some great times with all three but they aren't realistic options for me. If we're going to be filthy rich we should be looking at better. The past isn't something we should be looking to replicate.

I agree to a certain degree about not going back to the past.
I don’t know if you’ve listened to Gus Poyets What The Falk podcast interview but he talks about what he wanted to do here and why things went wrong. No manager can say they’ve never made mistakes or that they are perfect but Poyet had a plan and had clear ideas of how to improve this club. We need some of that right now, whether that’s with him or someone else

I'm not allowing the current results, etc to spoil my optimism over the takeover news. Nor am I letting lazy journalism like the Times article bother me.

It's heartening to see the French media talking about Dreyfus, and his plans, even if our own seems to be slow on the uptake.

As with FPP, the Dreyfus camp, seem to be looking for top level guidance and want to employ someone to oversee the club. That's particularly interesting to me as I've still heard nothing about FPP pulling out. They spend a fair bit of time, effort and money on feasibility studies and finding people who could provide a solid foundation for the club. It wouldn't be impossible that all this information and resource is being shared.

Le Figaro and L'equipe appear to be the place to look for answers.

Anyone else worried it will fall through, or we can’t sign a decent manager, or wage cap is gonna do us. FFS wish I was glass half full not empty. I hope and pray for the best, even for my sons supporting future. But I said to him tonight ‘he is 10 btw’ whatever happens, whoever owns the club, whoever manages the club, we support the team who play in red and white. We are from Sunderland, we support Sunderland through thick and thin.

THIN and thin, corrected

Agree with this smug, could be case of 2 +2 =, but the fact sporting director, Steve McLaren mentioned who was rumoured to be FPP linked when hecwas watching our games is very interesting.

Also agree, yesterdays result in these positive times simply needs to be taken as conformation Parkinson has had his chance & as we thought not upto it

Donald has agreed a deal with Sartori as many predicted. The new majority shareholder/owner will be Kyril Louis-Dreyfus who's family are platinum level connected and wealthy. It could all be settled by the end of the month and there's a possibility that FPP's interest remains.

The new people, as FPP did, are looking to structure the club, take advice from real football people and place the club in the modern age.

Athletico River Plate would be one hell of a feeder club and gateway to South America! Sartori has been looking into getting the best Uruguayan talent over here and this is a method to do it

I don't think it's the 'good' River Plate, but the Uruguayan River Plate. Also, with work permit rules, we'll unlikely see any of the players over here.

I wouldn't be so certain of that based upon the competence of the FA. After all there's a Liverpool in the Uruguayan Premier League :emoticon-0136-giggl
