Currently on holiday in Bulgaria for 2wks. It's a beautiful place. We head on over to an archery game at 15:30.
Ahhh you from England.
Who do you support?
You won't have heard of them....... Sunderland.
Ahhh Sunderland, Jermaine Defoe and you've just signed Granit Xhaka. My 17yo is sitting back loving it.
The Netflix documentary did a lot for us. Think a lot would have researched us on the back of that and now keep an eye on us.
 
Worst manager I have seen at Sunderland. I don't want to be unfairly mean towards him but he came across as really incredibly simple.
We’ve had some candidates for that and he’s definitely up there. However, it’s Michael Beale for me. Can’t stand him and the way he just lost the dressing room after a month takes some going. What a disaster.
 
Just a job too big for him. Had a weird speaking voice that didn't help

But Parkinson was much worse IMO. Useless and arrogant with it!
Parkinsons football with Sunderland was a low. It was so difficult to watch at times.

Just as well we got Little Lee to turn the tanker round. Just think, if it wasnt for Lee Johnson we wouldnt be signing Xhaka today. RLB should make him joint head coach imo. Another to bring home and get our fans excited.

He definitely got the ball rolling. Surprised he hasn't popped up again somewhere, though it didn't go that well at Hibs.

But he got us going. He was one of the steps, no doubt
 
After what Malaga said I knew it was sorted mate ...

... players of his stature don't have random chats with supporters if they know the deal's not done.

By the look of today it was all arranged days ago.

Sounds like the clubs didn't agree a fee until today unless I'm missing something? What Malaga said was very positive from the player's perspective but would have been for nought if Leverkusen never sanctioned the sale... thankfully KLD made it happen :emoticon-0103-cool:

I don’t want to derail the thread here. I’ve always said I’m not perceptive and I’m certainly not a master football tactician, but apart from Parkinson I said from day one of his appointment, that Grayson should have been nowhere near our football club.
