DrewDon Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I've only watched one episode of the new series so far, but Charlie Methven is approximately 25% David Brent, 25% Stewart Pearson, 25% Train Guy, and 25% Barry Homeowner. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a bit of a dick and a bit of a twat but somehow very likeable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 He's an arrogant, self-important, piece of shit. If there was any doubt, his behaviour at half-time of the game in the third episode confirms it, especially how he conducts himself with the Northern Irish woman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arbroathlegend36-0 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Glad I’m not the only one that thinks he’s a bit of a p***k. I really do enjoy the transfer parts of these types of programmes. Jack Ross telling Stewart Donald that Will Grigg is not worth the £2 million or whatever the bid was and SD basically agreeing with him then panic buys him at £3 million[emoji23] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder all those clubs are fucked with debt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) Methven speaks so patronisingly about the north and northerners, like he's literally never set foot anywhere in England outside of rural Oxfordshire. This is basically him talking about Sunderland and Sunderland fans: Edited April 1, 2020 by DrewDon 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Fair fucks to Stewart Donald managing to bring someone to Sunderland who’s a bigger tosser than Martin Bain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Donald playing Football Manager on deadline day there trying to buy Will Grigg. Think when everyone including your manager is saying it’s a bad deal, then it’s maybe worth listening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, what a dick. I know its all edited and she probably gets a raw deal from the doc makers, but she pretty clearly just didnt get it. They'd spent months trying to market the game and beat the attendance record. At half time she looked like she didnt give a shit. They obviously wanted the crowd figure to announce to the fans and her comment was "if we dont get it, we dont get it" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the time he comes across exactly as described above. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I imagine her indifference by then had something to do with his demeanour and attitude up to that point (him walking into hospitality on matchday and demanding that she bring him a beer, for example), and I'd envisage he was even worse away from the watching eye of the cameras. Were there big problems at Sunderland that needed sorting out? Absolutely. Was his approach the right one, treating employees with barely-concealed disdain from the start and pissing off the very people you rely on for your role to be a success? Evidently not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
