He makes a few references in STID about trying to win us round because they’re southern, blokes an absolute bellend no matter where he’s from
Yeah, I watched it back last week and there are quite a few references and remarks about the north east made by him. All with his smug grin on his twatting face. Arsehole.
 
I'm sure he had a pop at the fans during one of the fan engagement meetings as well. 'uneducated northerners' or something like that.
“Unbelievably uneducated in business”, well he is no great shake himself and I know a few more Sunderland supporters who are more educated in business matters than him. Running a successful business isn’t just about making a fortune, it’s about giving back to the community and having employees willing to work for you. That coiffured clown wouldn’t know how to do the latter two.

The way he goes on with the staff during STID is embarrassing, especially around the Bradford boxing day attendance stuff. No wonder the lass packed in

That was cringeworthy. As a manager of people you need to be able to get the best out of them, inspire and motivate. He just embarrassed the lass in front of TV cameras. Now I don’t know the ins and outs of whether she was good at her job or not, but I would never lambast someone, even if underperforming, in front of their colleagues. That should be done in private, after he has tried to find out why she isn’t performing to a standard (if indeed she wasn’t) , is she trained enough and does she fully understand what he wants from her. He came across as a bully, which suggests he is severely lacking in something. I just think he was showing off in front of the cameras, because it has to be about him. He doesn’t stand out so the best way for him to do that is to be controversial.

The way he speaks to her at half time is vile, the numbers in the grand scheme of things didn’t matter look in the stands you’ve cleared broke the record, ego maniac

Good post. Employees don’t want to make money for greedy slimy patronising arrogant twats. It was there to see in the series.

I have just not long watched series 2 for the first time after refusing to watch it until we were promoted (only way to slightly take the sting out of that first season league 1, and that was only slightly) and I couldn’t believe the way he went on, if heard it was bad but the bloke is a cock, only cares about his ego, absolute muppet
 
From the last few posts , am I right that there is no news on the sale of shares and that means that KLD has won this round of game playing by the two idiots?
Well apparently TFT wanted to have diploid with the fans within days, that hasn’t happened yet, the whole thing is confusing, but tbh I’m relaxed about it all, no matter what KLD will be the one in full control

We have had better players with supposed world class managers in the past and not done as well as this england. Totally agree they are dire to watch sometimes but Southgate to me is very much over achieving with this group and is playing a way that gets us ultra competitive when it matters

Good point, the team is greater than the individuals that make it up!
That means well done Southgate and his fellow coaches
 
I think better manager would have won the euros maybe got to the final of the World Cup.

How culpable Soutgate is in that final with Italy I can't decide. England were on top with Italy not getting near, Italy made a couple of changes, I seem to recall, and from there they got back into it.

Was this Soutgate out moved? Or did he make a switch to go defensive and protect the lead?

I can accept a manager being out thought but if he switched tactics then it's on him.
We should have went for a second goal Southgate tried to protect a lead against a slow back line by dropping deep when we should of stayed on the front foot, it was obvious that what frightened Italy the most was pace in behind as was shown by the what should have been red card against Saka
 
I still worry when I see Wright misjudge a header, and the ball falls to Vokes.
Don't see why, when Stewart crossed the ball and completely miscues it he catches Wright off balance, other than that Wright never put a foot wrong and has been like that most of our run in under AN.
Pity you have picked out this one incident in over two months of football, shame really imo.
