  1. Past hour
  2. Afore my time mate , I started going in ‘68 and I was only 3 then ! That said I can remember more about games mid ‘70’s than I can last month but I suppose beer & whisky might be a factor in that
  3. Agree again on most of that. In 2021 I was in the camp of he was like Young or Morris or another that type - it looked like he'd blown his wad and couldn't fund the club any longer. But that isn't what happened next, he gave Moore a significant wage budget in League 1, covered the losses himself and kept us within FFP. If it wasn't for our period under Xisco and some embarrassing PR, this season would've been a continuation of that, and may yet prove to be if we stop up. It's why many fans including myself would support him leaving if we knew the alternative, but are not willing to villify and oust the bloke in the blind hope summat better pops along, especially when there is zero logic as to why Chansiri would happilly realise his substantial losses by selling at a cut price.
  4. Look Röhl sneaking off to Sunderland
  5. Yep he's stuck around. Meanwhile Hillsborough and the training ground crumble around him and the club stagnates, a yo-yo club bouncing between the lower reaches of the Championship and League One. Meanwhile clubs who have fallen lower than us rise higher than us. By clinging on he prevents progress - can anyone see any hope with him? He may not be as bad as any number of terrible football club owners - I once met Ken Richardson, there was a card. Fred McIver wasn't as bad as John Beswetherick. The man still needs to go - balance doesn't come into it, it's obvious.
  6. You can't take racism out of an issue with a player being racially abused
  7. Wife's cousin lives on there - her husband is a piggy and hasn't mentioned it before so assume not that close!
  8. It's a word people use that's trendy but they don't quite understand. It's a bit like woke, virtue signalling, Marxists etc.
  9. It's easy to say isn't but I'd love it if he stayed, and just walked off the pitch every time there was abuse. Totally disrupt the game
  10. It used to be my local the Robin Hood...my mate was landlord
  11. Given what DR has done with the squad since he's been here DC might just think that he's going to have a better chance of getting to the Prem by backing him and his team and letting them take care of the football side...now he needs a good CEO to take care of the business side
  12. Attercliffe's famous massage parlour is that way !
  13. Pressman thinking if only I had got an A in Maths GCSE I could have gone to Hull University.
  14. (Pearson) NO! he's our best penalty taker!!!!!!!
  15. It was a good one , torry I enjoyed it Dont worry , I’ll pick myself up and come out fighting
  16. Today
  17. Chansiri holding out for an extra £150 sounds plausible £40,000,150 offer incoming
  18. Carlton stirring it https://www.sunderlandafc.news/news/carlton-palmer-makes-prediction-on-danny-rohls-future-amid-sunderland-interest/
  19. There are parallels between dia young, Mel Morris and chansiri. All three took clubs with no parachute payments and tried a 3 year gamble to go up and failed, where they deviate is how they responded to failure: Morris pulled plug and stopped paying in, took out £10's of millions in loans and put club in administration. Young, stopped paying pulled plug and built up massive tax debts continuous embargoes and club fighting to stay out of league 2. Chansiri stuck around, took his medicine, continued to fund losses even whilst club under embargo for beach of FFP, continued to fund extra losses through COVID with low income, continued to fund losses for 2 seasons in league one to give Moore a budget / squad to challenge for promotion. No doubting there have also been disasters in ticket prices, investment (or lack of) in infrastructure and horrible communication gaffs. On balance agree would like to see him go but he's not the devil people make him out to be.
  20. Quite funny really. In a thread about racist abuse, someone starts throwing abuse because they can’t get their own way. And I’m pretty sure that ‘race baiting’ is a term predominately used by racists and racist apologists, as a distraction to try and hide the fact that they are racists but too scared to admit it?
  21. He said "cashflow issues" And then paid the bill a day later So I'd take from that that either the cashflow issues were resolved or it was posturing all along, either way he never said he was skint.
