Donald, in many ways, is a poor man's Ashley. Arrived at the club with a fan fare, sitting with supporters at the game and socialising with them. Now, doesn't go to most games and has disappeared form the public eye. He's also a gambler - gambled on getting promoted last year to flog the club for a profit, the biggest spin of the roulette wheel being the purchase of Grigg (yes, the one 'on fire' XD ) for a fortune.
Now it's all gone t*ts up and he's making every decision to spend as little as possible and keep costs down - the appointment of Parkinson being the cherry on the cake.
Maybe someone can confirm but I read today that the 9 million is a loan from the Yanks and the stadium and the academy were used as collateral?
Whatever, they are royally f*cked.
Let's hope it stays that way for a long time. Even if they could get up this season which is looking unlikely then they would be very weak in the chimpo, you know that league they all said would be a piece of piss.
Enjoying every minute of their demise.
I was out at a reunion drink last night and my old Mackem colleague was deriding the postponed game against Bristol, one of the colleagues is a Bristolian, as the Mackems have players on international duty! He was saying how much better Sunderland as a place was and how they will slaughter Bristol and we all turned around and said " At least Bristol is open" .
His face was a delight to behold.
Out the cup 1-0 to, wait for it.......................Gillingham.
Parkinson out, Pochettino in.
Could only manage a last minutes draw against Coventry at home today
