Pretty sad that it comes
Out in an article like this.

I understand his children's concerns, but surely if he made a decision in 2005, when he was considered to be in sound mind, they should accept that this is what he wants?

Surely his wife will also know what is best for him?

Also a very sad revelation, although not expected.

This is a bit of an odd thing to wish for.

my dad signed forms in his will,that his wife(not my mum)would not get anything in his will.when he died it's difficult to prove he was sound mind,it's a messy business.in the end his wife got some money as she was still his wife in the eyes of the law.

Cue some abuse from sad sunderland fans ( most of whom were not even alive ) trying to excuse a shit team by blaming JH for relegation.

Puts things like the odd defeat into perspective. Very lucky that we had him at our club.

I get why they would be pissed off, but not 36 years later. And not when they are still in the premiership regularly.

My mother bless her is 93 and suffers from this and is progressively worsening but for now she seems generally Ok with just short term memory loss. (you can repeat yourself 5 minutes later the same thing you said before as if she had not heard it first time) But she still lives at home - for now. She is spritely enough. So unless Jimmy has a wife incapable of caring for him at all while still physically spritely I'm not sure why he needs to be in a home? Power of attorney in this situation is merely based on the welfare decisions and requires 2 people. It does not give rights to the will and it's effects, that is still in accordance with his wishes contained in his will. The brother and sister are merely contesting the decisions over what and how he receives on going care. Are they suggesting his wife has seen him off to a care home before his time?
Sad as I would love to have his opinion on current issues with our football club.

I think we'd be wrong to judge this without knowing all of the facts in my opinion.
My late father had a similar degenerative disease- Mum(we) took care of him for as long as possible in his own home, with associated nursing care twice daily until it became totally unmanageable-his health and mums health were in serious danger it was a desperate time-Ultimately he had to go into a nursing home where he resided for a couple of years as the disease took over until his death.
Unless you have experienced it, and all cases are different its not fair to judge on the basis of a newspaper article, as distressing as it is for all that that man did for our football club.
