@Northumberland Rocks always came across as sound minded to me, I think the problem is that he's picked up the negativity virus from RTG, the R rate on there is 100. 1. One in five have the virus on there.
Haha possibly!

Look Ill give the lad a chance.

For what its worth I truly truly he hope he proves my misgivings wrong.

Less of the personal stuff though eh?

FTMs and win the day!
 
This ^ Speakman has said he has spoke to ownership group about future plans and budgets. The takeover must br very close

This! It’s far more refreshing than ‘we haven’t even spoken about budgets’, a line rolled out by a number of previous managers in recent years. I’m just pleased that they seem to have a vision, something which we’ve lacked for a long time.
 
I'm completely open to him, im quite removed from the game and if I'm honest I'd barely heard his name before all this if at all. So I'm definitely not judging either way.

Just curious by the word "snake" as it is so loaded and there must surely be something behind it, rightly or wrongly.

this is why i pay little attention to 'what others said'...it only takes a word or phrase in the wrong place to make everyone a tad suspicious and why they all get a full on clean slate from me, then i only worry about what they do with my club ;)
 
Is Johnson our least CV'd up appointment. After all the furore about getting in a big name we have now appointed a manager that doesn't have a single result on his list of achievements.
Don't think we have ever appointed someone that didn't have at least a promotion to boast of. Not a criticism and perhaps his fairytale starts now.
Here's hoping

Positive first interview. Its gonna be light years away from Parkinsons football once he gets his feet under the table
 
To be fair, I've had the stuffing knocked out of me over the takeover (especially the Gus fuss) and have reset to thinking we can only surmise, due to the appointment of Speakman, that there is something changing with the club structure and that we don't know the details as yet (apart from maybe various ITKs who do but can't say).

Yet even I would go with KLD & El Presidente having a controlling interest over nothing is happening. It's the hope you see. Without that spark of eternal hope in the face of a historical trail of rebuffs, false dawns and dark dismal benighted periods that marks the Sunderland fan.

Prophets of doom are only accepted up to a point. You've said your piece and that is enough now. If nothing happens then you can point back and say 'I told you so' and you can feel vindicated, but you'll still be isolated from us glass is half full fans simply because, although we may arrive at the same point in the end, for a while at least we will have enjoyed the journey!
