Doesn't Jack Ross have one of our highest at 1.9? PPG isn't a reliable measure of managers capabilities, especially since we've had managers across 3 different divisions

Ross had a 1.85 average in his first season which slams Parky's 1.6 last season and 1.77 this season but still not good enough for automatic promotion. I'd disagree about points per game average not being a reliable indicator of a mangers or teams performances tbf. It's one data set you can use that doesn't depend on someone's opinion, it's just factual information. I know I go on about the golden 2 point average but if a team is hitting that, they're going up. Get less and no guarantees. Fwiw Pearson and Gus achieved over 2 points a game average in their seasons managing in league one and both went up.
 
Got a bit daft hasn't it. Seems like a rumoured managerial appointment that hasn't actually happened has opened the floodgates to a load of ****e, frankly.

Why don't we wait and see what actually happens and take it from there.
Because that would be common sense, and that doesnt seem to apply at the minute

Just seen on Twitter just there. The club are investigating Cooks son who plays for U18s after he called the club hierarchy cowards. There an article by Craig Hope in the Daily Mail.

Just when you think they can’t sink any lower they go and do it again !

Just sums up them two amateurs running our club into the ground. Shall we sort a massive takeover l or investigate a kid speaking the harsh truth about their lack of any ability to see what is right and wrong? The sooner these 2 **** off the quicker we get our back. Chancers

I like a bit of hype it's fun, but we've left that behind some time ago and moved onto hysteria.

Things are happening that's clear, I don't think anyone knows exactly what but all we can really do is wait it out and discuss it when it actually happens, which seems like it'll be very soon.

If anyone made comments like that on social media about their employer there's a fair chance they'd be dismissed for bringing companys name into disrepute or something similar.

Whilst it may be the truth he's gone about it the wrong way employment wise

Out of the loop, who is being investigated?

This is the sort of thing that is company-cultural but ultimately comes down to the entirely contractual. Personally I'm employed by a company that would 100% stand by my right to criticise them if I did so in a public forum, but would also ultimately have no legal recourse to do anything about it if they ever changed their stance on that.

Spot on.I posted earlier that I'm in the "aye whatever" camp. Not in a derogatory way, just after all that went on the other day, we all got a bit carried away as it seemed something was on the cards, then nothing. So, let's wait and see as you say mate.

I'd rather not see this unreactionary **** from a John Wick profile. Either call for (literal) heads or stfu imo.
 
Thought we might of heard something yesterday, but things did change last minute

Hopeful things will come to light later today, unless things change again

You can't even get 2 points in a game man. This argument is pointless. <whistle>

Need to brush up on your reading skills a bit there marra as I've constantly said 2 points a game average, not 2 points a game. Happy to clear that up for you.

That rumour started from nqd and he hasn’t been seen since he posted it, he must be laughing his cock off looking at what has happened. Got to admit when he posted it I wasn’t a bit happy, now I’m just letting it go until the club announce who it really is.

Madrox would have 60%

People are getting confused of the share allocation, Madrox own 100% of Sunderland, SD owns 74% of Madrox, Sartori owns 20% of Madrox and CM owns 6% of Madrox.

The new (alleged) share distribution of Madrox is going to be, SD with 15% of Madrox, CM with 5% of Madrox and (a new consortium with a new holding company) with 80% share of Madrox. The new consortium company will have a 50% share holding split between Sartori and KLD

Madrox will still own 100% of Sunderland
 
Bob? Mad bob
If what happens happens with the share split, your opinion will be its a takeover, but while donald is still clinging on my opinion is that its a jiggling of shares.
And what i am seeing with the cooke sacking and the manager we will end up with, smacks of donald and rodwell calling the shots. Take for example if there was no takeover or share thing was never mentioned and we needed a new manager and we knew it was down to rodwell(donald), the names mentioned now are exactly the names who would be linked with. And yous reckon its a new start takeover?

It couldn't be more obvious you're either Bob or have been talking to him, no problem with me.

As far as the takeover is concerned I'm afraid your opinion is irrelevant, as is mine.

In the real word there's no such thing as 'a jiggling of shares' ...

... it's a takeover however we choose to think of it.

Whilst this is true, any half decent boss would recognise the emotion in the situation and have a quiet word with the young lad.
 
I’ll ask the question.After the disappointment of the last 24 hours.Would anyone now rather William Storey took over the club?
 
Must admit after yesterdays highs and lows was hoping today would bring a bit of cheer
but I'm just confused. Said it earlier but how can we go from Poyet and Schwartz to Cowley
People are pissed off and desperate for something positive hence all the bickering tonight.
Would like a nice orderly transition
Takeover DOF tomorrow
New manager Friday

It's like when you hear a noise downstairs mate.

You look at what's at the side of your bed and consider your pepper spray or extendable cosh.

Both will do the job but in entirely different ways.

If we'd been in the close season the process would be much easier but, if we're to rescue this season we need a quick fix with whoever's available.

The alternative is to ignore this season and start laying foundations.

That's my opinion, based on guesswork btw.
