hypochondriac

That too is my only requirement. My life revolves around SFC to an extent (well a lot of my planning for the weekends anyway.) I'll have lost my main source of pleasure in life really which is going to support my team with my mates. I don't really think TopGun understands what we're trying to say.

Right but you haven't answered the question. Leaving aside the fact I think you are wrong (for a start you have no idea who the backers in the background are.) in a hypothetical situation were the choice is MJ or nothing what would you pick?

That may well be the case. But if it isn't and the Jackson bid is our only option? What then?

TopGun, would you rather have Jackson in a position of influence next season or no club?

But that just proves his point. We can't be picky if there are no other options.

His merits are not really worth questioning. If he is the only buyer then we HAVE to accept or we have no football club. On that basis he must have everyones support, unless you would rather not have a club?

But there is an if there. Nobody is saying for a fact that his presence in this is a good thing. At the present time nobody knows for sure! The only thing I am certain of is that I will accept anyone (yes even Lowe) if it makes I can watch saints next season.

Why do people assume that we are backing Marc Jackson just because posters have stated (quite sensibly) that if there is no alternative they would be very very pleased for ANYONE (including Jackson) to take us over? TopGun are you really that stupid? What part of if there is no alternative do you understand? He is the last resort and if his actions mean we still end up with a club next year then I will thank him.

Lol. I'm just going to support the team.

Yes there is because it means I will have a football club to go and watch.

Bugger. Lock please.

Gillingham next year then! Good.

I'm sure the mods had a valid reason. They haven't tried to hide it or anything.

He was banging on about Jackson at every opportunity, including dredging up old threads for no reason. Everyone realises MJ's limitations but if he is our only choice then so be it.

I'm glad. He clearly had some sort of ridiculous agenda.

If he is our only option then there's nothing to regret!

Come on guys. This interview is very funny and he comes across as highly incompetent. If he manages to pull this off though then fair play. Lets not have a go at the bloke if he saves the club. Oh and TNT clearly has an agenda.

It's not very fair when posters are just trying to keep others informed. Some people want all info NOW without realising that confidences could be broken if that happened. I would prefer some info than no info at all but people are rarely grateful.

Sbragia, it should also be stressed, is also having to combat the failed excesses of the latter days of Roy Keane's reign. Too many players not justifying exorbitant price tags, too many players not appearing to care where Sunderland end up. I would never suggest Kenwyne Jones does not care, but it must have been galling for Sunderland fans to hear him suggesting he could be off if they are relegated. Jones might have spared himself this awful dilemma had he threatened to break into something akin to a brisk trot when Sunderland could have saved themselves at West Brom. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/philmcnulty/2009/05/it_was_once_claimed_the.html

Never got any stick from me. Skacel got stick because people thought he would be better than he turned out to be and looked "lazy" to some for some unknown reason. Beattie was pobably one of our best players of recent time. I love him and hope he can play for us in a few years regardless of what division we are in.

There was another article which basically said he never tried at all against WBA last week. I wouldn't want him playing for my team if I supported Sunderland.

What a disgrace to football this man is. No loyalty whatsoever. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/sunderland/8059012.stm

I reckon Fry is holding out in case other people sort out their problems rather than just accepting the Jackson game. It could be a stupid thing to do but then it could be pretty smart. We'll know at some point.

That's very funny that literature for the British national party includes hardly any british people! Very amusing.

Would rather take a shambolic disaster than no club tbf
