101 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Can't believe this doesn't have a thread already. Finished the second series of fly on the wall documentary, after the first honestly thought they couldn't get a bigger bunch of idiots running the club the the second series starts well with one of the owners wanting to turn the stadium of light into a club and treating a member of his staff so poorly she leaves or he sacks her. One of the wee guys comes across well as does Jack Ross. They also pay 3 times what Jack Ross thinks Will Grigg was worth, unbelievable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud131 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 To be fair the girl that left/was sacked seemed to be (from the edited footage shown) pretty uninterested with lots of faces being pulled and the 'oh well if we make it we make it' when they were trying to beat the attendance record. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was fucking useless. The management style wasn't great but whole corporate team were a waste of space. Waiting to be told what to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 That Methven (?) is an absolute trumpet. He's your stereotypical gobshite fan facer. Thinks he talks the good game but you can see he hasn't a fucking clue and is just bluffing his way into thicko's heads. The sad thing is it's the thicko's that keep him in a job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was pretty useless but like the managing director said I don't think any of the team there were used to making decisions. The guy went totally the wrong way about doing things and at the end of the day their work must of have had some success as the smashed 40,000 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must have read the entire business/corporate speak nonsense thread on here, then tried to fit every single phrase into the programme.I do have a bit of sympathy for the new board, they have inherited an absolute financial and management shambles. It seems that nobody had to answer to anybody under the previous regime and a lot of the staff seem to just be going through the motions.Given that Maja is reported to be on 50k per week plus in France, I don't think there was ever any chance he was signing a new deal with Sunderland, think his agent made sure of that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Here's what i said on the Netflix thread about them expecting to turn up and ease past Celtic in the first episode of series 1 - The Celtic game pissed me off too. I actually remember seeing the result on livescore at the time and thinking it was impressive to beat a just relegated Barclays team 5-0. But when you actually see it on the first episode of series 1, you kind of wonder how Celtic didn't score more. Sunderland were a team of complete jobbers. Celtic had superior players in every position and 6 months earlier had drawn with Man City home and away in the CL. Celtic were always going to absolutely beast them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was with him pushing them. We've no idea if they would have hit that number if they were just left to their own devices. Given the Irish women who left said they'd never get near 40,000, you'd have to suspect not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawford Bridge Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Crying auld boot outside Wembley.......... "I just love me bairns". Aye, she loves them that much it's the second time she's been in 21 years. Folk like that are the worst thing about cup finals and every club has them unfortunately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really sure he done anything either. With a few days to go he was going on about maybe reaching the 36,000(?) that was set by Leeds. Then all of a sudden they have another 10,000 people turn up? Think there's a wee bit jigger pokery - or at the very least thousands extra free tickets thrown out. It's an absolutely wild thing to try and boast about. It was all done purely for the programme. If he ever shows up at another club he should be chased out as quickly as possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not suggesting the success was all down to him, but its also just as clear that it definitely wasnt down to the existing marketing team either 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sergie's no1 fan Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 The tory came across as a cu....well tory. He is getting a bit of a raw deal but someone has to be the bad guy in this because the owner definitely isn't. They went from losing 40,000,000 a season to breaking even. The guy did his job, even if he is a p***k and ultimately Sunderland didn't get promoted. Jack Ross comes across well enough in it but he is a bit of a walking sound bite. Was a part of me delighted they lost the cup final and play off final? Yes. Mainly because I felt he could have achieved something special at Saints, and who we ended up replacing him with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Just watched both series over the last few days or so and from a footballing perspective to lose your top scorer in January each season and then fail to replace them adequately is never good.The way they were moaning about Ross towards the end I'm surprised he made it to the start of this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
