Well there'd be no excuses...

Be nice to have a fresh start though, eh, with nobody involved before coming back / still here and so on. Be nice to have a fresh new untainted set of incompetents around to fuck it up!

Officially you could argue that David Cooke was the worst CCFC Chairman when he received a life ban from football following the thrown game against Bury in 1920.
And no, I wasn't at the game.

My Great Great Grandad ended up owning most of the club due to that. He and a couple of others then formed the CCFC Supporters Club and the shares he acquired due to Cooke's ban and the dismantling of the board were sold on to the fans for sixpence.

Lol, we started the season with 9 straight defeats followed by 10 games without scoring. And we think we've got problems now?

Good to hear of your long family association with the Club CJ. I like the sound of dismantling the Board, wonder if history could repeat itself?

I believe it was the first of it's kind and other clubs soon followed. Once the shares were issued they formed an early version of the SCG. Made me quite sad that he was one of the reasons it started but I was involved when it all came crashing down.

With regards to dismantling the current board it's easy. Just create a scene where Dave spills Tim's pint. Mission complete.

McGinnity easy.

SISU are a direct result of selling Highfield Road. At least no-one personally made a few bob out of selling it.

Are Sunderland fans aware of this? Might send a few of them over the edge.
