Me too mate, I did a while ago, hes playing the same game on here just not as blatant.
Asking loads of questions then repeating things already said by the itks.
He posted on here under his alias a couple of days ago and all he was doing was repeating what @Wheatsheaf posted weeks ago
Sorry like but that's bollocks, bob certainly gets on people's nerves with his posting and I agree he's said some stupid things but he has known most of the things others on here have posted with the exception of who our next manager will be before it's been made public ;)

Can't believe Poyet is getting a mention to take the helm post takeover.

I was at the Villa game at home when we were getting tanked by an awful team before half time. Think it might have been 0-3 before the break. It was the worst football i have ever seen. Utterly devoid of ambition. Just passing the ball around at the back, losing it, panicking, conceding. Rinse and repeat.

He was a dreadful manager for us.

And if he can't get premier league players playing tika taka masala football... what hope does he have with league one journeymen.

Mortifying.

I'd sooner have Steve "1 in goal, 10 in defence at lower league Brighton" Bruce back.

Sorry mate, but Bob talks ****e, contradicts himself constantly, throws tantrums when his obvious contradictions are pointed out him and then flounces off "for good" only to return a few days later to begin the whole circus once again. He's the most laughably inept 'ITK' on RTG, and that takes some doing.....

I was with you until your final line! I have said before on here that poyet (or other prev managers) coming back would be a big mistake.
 
The main talk over the road is Charlie Methven having a stronger voice at the moment. Even as far as demanding from potential new owners that he be dismissed. I’m not very fluent with shares and ownership but I don’t think you can sack a shareholder ??

My own opinion is this. Methven critically underestimated Sunderland fans. He burned bridges but there could be ways back even for a Tory :emoticon-0102-bigsm. I’d want to hear admittance that they did do things wrong and I’d want to hear why it would be any different this time.

I think the other approach would potentially knacker a takeover from this particular group.


We know nothing about business, we are the cause of the problem at the club, like a girl crying at a party

Smarmy Salmon Strides can just **** off, his bridges havnt just been burned, they have been blown to ****ing bits!

As he's obviously a long time fellow supporter I've tried hard to like Bob ...

... he just doesn't make it easy.

He'll 'quit the board' only to come back, all guns blazing, if someone starts getting attention or people stop talking about him.

The endless contradictions don't help and its poor when people say 'yes that's true but he's 100% accurate in pms'. Bob, himself, posted the other day that he deliberately posts nonsense but pms the truth.

WTF <doh>
 
I'm not inclined to big up Methven's importance in all this too much. If the takeover goes through as we think it might,together with the wholesale management changes we all want to see, and,in a short space of time,our fortunes on the pitch pick up,I don't think too many will take too much notice of him. He's not going to have much of a say. Of course,he will need to keep out the way and keep his gob shut.:emoticon-0102-bigsm
I’m hoping it goes through and they get rid by cash injection that he can’t match to his share value and so dilute his shares

So there’s no way back for Methven for ya.

What would you say if the new owners took over and said Methven had a new role would say sort of marketing.

As it sounds from Hawayett like he will have a voice at least.
 
Well I for one would love Gus back.

I'd like to see someone new, preferably currently employed in Europe, with an existing staff, who needs an interpreter.

I'd like all tracesof the past lethargy/holiday camp/rest home clinically exterminated.

Di Canio asked the existing outfit to ear/train/sleep/act like dedicated professional athletes ...

... and that's where he went wrong.
 
No I've posted on the SMB for about 10 years and made a tit of myself all on my own without any connection to bob or vauxie, I've said this before but I've never met bob I actually called him a ****er on the SMB and we exchanged PM's and it turned out he wasn't lying.

He is a strange guy however, after having a disagreement with him, not sure who send the first PM to each other but since then we bounce the odd message to each other. Just to confirm or wipe out some of the info feeding through. No doubt he hears some stuff. However, some of it massively conflicts with my info and we have continued to have disagreement in PM. All in good nature like. But aye, some conversations we have had definitely show he gets some stuff.

He does appear to contradict himself like but I'm not talking about his public forum persona in talking about what he's told me in private being detailed and accurate.

well I guess the million dollar question is, does his information now align with yours?
 
I’m really not worried about Donald and Methven. I just want the takeover to happen. If the takeover happens; they will have little to no influence whatsoever.

I think people may be making too much of any influence they do have, if they do have any. Frankly, neither of them are evil people desperately trying to stop us succeeding. They both have millions of reasons to want us back in the premier league. They’re hardly going to be blockers to that success.

What is key is we get the new ownership with clear and empowered leadership who know what they’re doing. So much easier said than done.

As soon as the takeover happens, Methven and Donald will just be two minor annoyances we hear about every now and then. Any future success or failure will be nowt to do with them.
CM reminds me of Storey in that he just spouts **** to build his own public image and media presence to enable him to have some kind of voice across a national platform and gets him some inches in the newspapers. He is nothing short of a fly in the ointment and a self proclaiming ignorant and odious man with his own personal agenda and of course ****ty Salmon trousers . When the takeover goes through I am pretty sure he will be told to keep his fat trap shut.

Yeah bang on, a minority shareholder is more or less a silent investor with little to no influence...thats what Satori has been for the last 2 years...thats why he has done nothing that we can see

how can someone who owns the least shares have a voice on any matters especially after his attitude towards the fans
