Renton 17852 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 1 hour ago, Alex said: I’d love to know who they think they’re going to get who’d do a better job than Mowbray. Well, whoever it is needs to have an understanding of the "model". Which will be quite difficult because as far as I aware the model is some tenuous concept that exists only in the heads of the MLF's of the SMB. As a scholar of the SMB, I have atempted to understand this canon of mackem folklore, and I think managed to establish that in essence, the model is buying kids, hoping they come good, and selling them for a profit, all the while remaining in the league (not get relegated or promoted). So, the same as most lower league clubs then, with a bit less ambition. Ashley definitely bought the wrong club. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this instance 'MackemMagic' does the honours with his 'Potter' thread. Getting Dolly or Harry would be more realistic 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first day in my current role... walked into my office to find a photo of Dolly Parton's face hanging on the wall; after asking around it was apparently done in humour by my predecessor. I binned it and hoyed a photo of her at her best up. New dawn, new day. Went down well; HR is for girls and cowards. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12478 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 (edited) They’re brilliant like, trying to make out that us drawing away to PSG is shite while they’re losing at home to Championship relegation battlers. What a bunch of deluded bastards. I assume the hype for their new age busby babes has died down a bit after they’ve watched a 17 year old Miley get plaudits from everyone and put in an assured performance in a CL away game? There’s levels to this game bitches, but they already know that seeing as they’re all so upset Keith Downie doesn’t bother tweeting about them. It’s fucking hilarious how much that Keith bloke hates Newcastle, then sits and watches our CL games . Sat there complaining about how Popes save against Mbappe wasn’t as good as the BBC say, then goes and posts some nonsense about how Sunderland are bigger than NUFC, righto lad off you pop to watch more Tony Mowbray managed footy. So he’s sat and watched the whole game, watched the coverage, read opinions about it, then went onto a Sunderland forum and posted loads about it, but still whinges about how we’re all completely obsessed with them I can’t even remember who the daft bastards lost to last night.

Pop Robson is one of my earliest match day memories, scored direct from a free kick (top corner job) v Arsenal. Ref disallowed it, why? Because wall wasn't 10 yards, I remain incredulous to this day, retake obvs didn't result in anything, can't remember final score, draw I think 1970-ish 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where they are right now is probably where they'll stay for a long time. They haven't the resources to buy promotion, they don't have the long term strategy to Brighton or Brentford their way back to the promised land. Their fans appear not to have recalibrated. Despite years out of the top flight, and years in the 3rd tier, they still talk/act like they're a Premier League club on a little vacation in the lower leagues. I'm still surprised by the arrogance they display when talking about being other clubs' Cup Final, or when they boo/abandon their own team for failing to beat a Championship club, how quickly they turn on their manager when results don't flow like blue pop. Some have genuinely spoken of how they would finish midtable or top half if they were to return. Burnley strolled through the Championship, they got 101pts, losing only 3 games, and look at them now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 30517 Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 They drew but reading their match thread Uncle Tony no longer appears to be flavour of the month. Also their players no longer seem to be quite as good. Fuck me, they’re fickle. They’ve spent absolutely fuck all, have no strikers of any calibre, are well above the relegation zone and just four points off the playoffs at the beginning of December. There’s loads on there saying a draw’s worse than a defeat because it keeps Mowbray in a job. Seriously Presumably recognising it’s down to the owners is Mag-like behaviour 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
