Sunderland Till i Die
Just finished watching this series on Netflix.
An absolutely facsinating watch.
The most honest 'fly on the wall' portrayal of a football club behind the scenes that i have ever watched.
Chris Coleman comes across as a first class guy in it imo.

Re: Sunderland Till i Die
Binged Series 2.
Jack Ross = Nice guy. Maybe a wee bit too nice and needed to kick a bit of arse at times? But unlucky imo.
Only a penalty or two from delivering the 'sleeping Giant' promotion and a Wembley Cup win.
Charles Methven = Talked a good game. In reality a posh, egotistical, Southern, arrogant twat. The way he spoke to the admin lassie from Northern Ireland was disgusting. Bit of a bully.
Stewart Donald = Passionate guy. But gave it a bit of the old 'violin' treatment once too often.
He knew what he was buying into. Or should have certainly. He gave way too much power to Methven.
Josh Maja = Cracking player. Sleekit wee cunt though.
Aidan McGeady = Cracking player. Almost always injured.

Re: Sunderland Till i Die
Yeah - agree with all of that Tek. I think the whole club, including the fans need to drop the MASSIVE club thing though. They are in the 3rd tier for the 2nd year in a row now and need to focus on getting a functional first 11 to get promotion. Easier said than done, I know but the constant talk of getting "back where we belong" was grating on me.
Also thought the transfer deadline day saga with Will Grigg was remarkable...

Re: Sunderland Till i Die
Charlie Methven is a cock. The way he speaks to the boy who suggests keeping some tickets back for people who went to their EFL Cup games was a disgrace. I'd have planted the cunt there and then if he spoke to me like that.
Their supporters are thick as fuck.
Too much commotion

Interesting to hear Jack Ross say to his chairman if you can't get Grigg for 1:2m don't bother that's all he's worth. 1hr later the Chairmain pays 3m for him.
Grigg turns out to be pretty average as Ross says but it's the manager who gets punted.

Totally shows the difference between bad Chairmen and decent(I think) managers.
Watched the whole 2 series right as lockdown started. Totally addictive viewing.
