Colin McNair next to Houstie was a top prospect but ended up on smack.

Ranaldo Bairn Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 What a squad. Loved that team. A hiccup the following season before Jeffries nailed it in 90/91. Absolute ballers but hardy b*****ds too. Sumo, McNair, Baptie, Gunner... PS it's from season 88/89, and was discussed on the Photographic History thread. David Weir made his debut for us in 1992. He literally dominated Dundee Utd's Duncan Ferguson from start to finish to a quite remarkable degree. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that interests them is money. The End. The best example of ownership and one FFC should be looking at is how St Johnstone went about their business. Benign dictatorship by a fan and astute businessman and in their case Brown. Land gifted to the club to build a stadium and clear their debt. Stadiums main stand built with the purpose of earning money for the club. Funeral teas , Wedding receptions , Business conferences etc not only covers the costs but puts funds in week on week , month on month , year on year. One of their fans posted here they had 2 million quid in the bank as a rainy day fund so it works. We of course blew it big time by not being the owners of the new stadium outright. So the dream scenario is. Multi millionaire Falkirk fan takes over. Buys out the other part owners of the stadium and remodel the ground to give that atmosphere vacuum a bit of life. Bit of imagination in seating arrangements such as top rows of seating closed off to match anticipated crowd. Build 4th stand incorporating an inside pitch compliant with academy specifications, swimming pool , sauna , squash courts, sports halls for 5 a side , badminton , tennis etc. Tag on a hotel even better. The alternative is we sell out to some company and we will be no more than a line on a balance sheet with shareholders wanting a dividend every year and if that means borrowing money that's what they will do. The very future of the club is at stake in the next few weeks. Edited May 15, 2019 by HopeStreetWalker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GK - Michael McGovern D - Jackie McNamara, George Connolly, Stephen Pressley, Davie Cattanach MF - Stevie Fulton, Mark Millar, Colin Healy A - Tommy Coyne, Frank McAvennie, Mo Johnston 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatapyBairn Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) I think the idea that becoming a feeder club would lead to significant investment in our first team is nonsense. The whole point of a feeder club is that it helps the main investment. The investor doesn’t really care about how we do on the pitch as long as we’re developing Sunderland’s players. Very concerning.

Is there not some past history between him and Morton board and not in the good sense ? i.e. he rejected it when he left livi for some reason ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
