"Ideally"? Blimey, that's a long way away from "we'd never do a deal that would harm the club", eh. Ideally, the best thing the Council could do is to shut their holes before anyone notices what a mendacious shower of shite they are.

The trust have done somewhat less than the average fan, I'd argue, given their remarkable attitude towards avoiding criticising anyone other than the owners. It'll be interesting to see how Wasps are regarded by the average fan if they start to turn the screw on the club now that the legals...

Personally, I think the Sunderland rivalry is kind of an invented thing to give the knuckle-draggers from both sides an excuse for crap behaviour. I don't remember it being anything like as hostile until the recent years of bigging it up on the internet. Either way, I can't see many teams...

I don't think this is one to blame on the coach, either the player's confidence is shot or he's simply not capable. Zonal marking doesn't help relieve the pressure much for him, but that winner was an individual error imho...

Crosses: If you can't get them, don't come for them. Ffs.

Sky waxing lyrical about our 'fluid front four', and today at least I think they're right, we look great. However, for me it's Kelly who is really keeping us ticking, he's having a superb game imho. More of the same please :)

Please Lord, let this be the end of the legals. I'm perhaps one of the few people here who doesn't mind seeing the Council dragged into court, I think they've got a lot to answer for, but trying to escalate this up to the European courts whilst things are as they are, is madness. In truth I'm...

I think that's a bit unfair mate, I've worked with a good few Sunderland fans over the years, and ended up drinking in a couple of pubs up there the last time we played. They're like us, the vast majority are entirely decent and can certainly take a joke or two at their own team's expense...

Come off it, I've lived in the area for fifteen years and drive up and down Broad Lane every day. Even at weekends crossing the A45 is a bottleneck at both Tile Hill Lane and Broad Lane (pop up there at around midday on Saturday and see for yourself). Getting an additional 20,000 people up...

That would be too easy, from what I've seen the plan for 6000 odd houses basically links the A45 to the new housing estate without any obvious improvements for through traffic. That could change of course, especially if there was a new stadium too, but you'd have to improve or create a mile...

They are listed FP, definitely. The architecture was unique to the period and is one of the last standing examples. Woodlands is a CV5 postcode btw. What hasn't been noticed by anyone is that other than the buildings it's actually classed as green belt, or certainly was 15 years ago. None of...

As I understand it, if there was a breach (or the possibility of a breach) that compromised personal data, then by law the Trust would need to investigate, document, and depending on the circumstances, notify the ICO. I think the claim here is that there wasn't a breach exposing personal data...

Beat me to it, damn!

It's always a tough call this, imho mate. Although you might be at the point where you're going to get progressively more niggles to sort on the old one, it's also a bit of a gamble buying a motor for 2/3k, again, imho. You'll probably be looking at something a few years newer than yours, but...

It's both a moral and legal argument, clearly. You're obviously ok with the council acting immorally, but outraged by SISU's behaviour, that seems a little hypocritical to me...

Although actually what happened was the Council said 'come back and let's build some trust' to the club, and then immediately sold it in secret without either making any effort to build trust or to offer it to the club on the same terms. So it wasn't poker, or monopoly, or selling a car, or...

I thought the approved term for referring to SISU apologists was 'frothing'. It's just a pity that no one here, including Torch, falls into that category. I'm all for a 'drop hands' settlement that involves the Council helping the club find some way out of this situation, but I'm not daft...

It's not about giving the wrong impression, it's about flat out lies. Where in the the very clear statement that said we won't sell to Wasps if it could harm the club's future does it say 'subject to commercial agreement'? Where in Councillor Townsend's statement about building trust with the...

So in fact it was an option, but the council decided it was better to lie to everyone and screw the club over to 'fuck SISU'. And you're ok with that because it means that SISU lose and that's all that really matters. I'm glad we could draw the truth of it out and you no longer need to hide...

In what way was the council commitment 'woolly'? It's there in black and white, a promise that the deal wouldn't hurt the club. There is nothing vague in that promise, it clearly was not time limited, and if the Council couldn't deliver it then they shouldn't have promised it when voting on...
