Having a relaxing pint after a rather pleasant afternoon watching SFC beat Leeds. That’s about as schizophrenic performance as I can remember, it was as if the side had undergone a transplant. Credit where it’s due, we looked excellent today, hunting for every 50/50 and giving it a real go, Leeds second best all over the park, theirs was a soft goal and should have been 4-0. I had Adam Armstrong as man of the match, proper Duracell bunny performance. Onwards and upwards.

Fans were superb today. Bonus point for the ‘Jimmy Savile, he’s one of your own’ chant.

Have they put a fatwa on him yet?

There’s positive spin to placate, and then there is fucking barking!

Ten zeros if Semmens is running the raffle.

It’s the future mate 😀

Needs to be in the first team changing room! Get Kelvin Davis handing them out to boost morale.

Jesus 😂

Plus Phillips in East Street, box jackets and tonic suits.

There’s Russell’s post mauling interview, right there…

Right up Rasmus's equality street!

Hopefully it's a clever marketing ploy to announce Pahars as manager, and the rest as his coaching staff

Get what you mean but I think the timing of this is daft regardless of any intention of reassurance, particularly with the cocky headline and grinning photo.

A fine line between naivety and stupidity but colours nailed clearly to the latter here. What a dimwit.

Alan Pardew got a four week ban on Instagram because of those DMs. Rightly so.

At least shows how much of a fuck I give about the SR Man City lite fetish, I suppose. We will likely end up as Stockport South 😀

The not giving a shiny shite table!

Should have been our balls-out Hassenhutl replacement. Doubt he would fancy it now despite the unique in world football opportunity to turn us into Salford-on-Sea.

He’s a well-paid narcissist in a position of some power within a relatively large organisation so he will keep attempting to be the loudest voice until he either fails completely or is removed. Shit or bust for Ankersen at SFC. After last season I genuinely thought Solak would combine with Kraft to remove him from the club board over the summer but this did not happen. I think his sales pitch of ‘innovation’ and magic ‘systems’ got Solak to form SR and invest heavily in the first place, so the big lie has to continue or be exposed for what it is. People mentioning that Giles was likely the brains at Brentford. All Giles did was to replicate Cortese in putting the best people you can afford / attract in key positions at your level and allowing them room to impart / impact their knowledge and develop the club. He didn’t impose a system on them other than being successful. Tried and tested business practice, not rocket science.

In a nutshell. The loyal fanbase are the ones able to rely on notions scar tissue and long memories. Perhaps the club ‘intelligentsia’ should take heed once a decade.

The opposite is true, have a look at the history. During the transfer window when the CoT was kindly releasing exclusive snippets we were unbeaten. Towards the end of the window when the group were being called the circle of tits, the circle of twats, receiving death threats from our online ultras etc. some of the CoT SFC players and staff contacts took it very personally. So whilst not pinning all of the blame for our bad run of form and Russell’s implosion on a few hard of thinking posters on here, the reality is that it hasn’t helped. People needed to believe in the process but instead chose to adopt a mob mentality, once again our beloved club let down by a few gobby dinlos.

Scar Tissue Gardens or Transition Crescent?

Good points. Since Sunderland Martin's eyes and demeanour have not been able to lie regardless of what he is saying - he's scared, rattled, and has no idea how to turn this around. The players either can't understand what he wants and / or have no respect for him as a person. He was appointed at a wealthy club recently relegated after over a decade in the Premier League, nothing like his previous appointments, and he is clearly in over his head. Not a nice position to be in but RM needs putting out of his (and our) misery despite the damage to boardroom egos and what's left of our reputation as a football club. If Martin is kept on we will be on a path to mid-table mediocrity and flirting with relegation, so right now it appears to be about damage limitation, rather like the appointment Hughes after Pelligrino, and then Hassenhutl once we could take a breath. If I was in a position of influence it would be about bringing in a no-nonsense manager, a character, to stabilise with an outside chance of the play offs via our stupidly expensive squad - if nothing else this would expose who is worth keeping. Then the club breathes and strategises for auto-promotion next summer. It is shite, but it's where we are now and would at least give us something to cheer for.

Clog the directors box?
