Yep. He can be a bit difficult!! MApp knew how to handle him and get him playing to his potential.I also think he has to be managed in a certain way and MApp knew how to do it to get the best from him.

If Sunderland have gone off him wouldn't be surprised to see him make a trip to Lincoln this Jan!
Mark McNulty?
Thoughts on him? Initially I thought he'd be a good loan signing as he seemed a busy type of forward. Perhaps he hasn't had many opportunities to impress this season but I've been disappointed with him. Perhaps he can raise his game - if not, hope we can send him back in Jan and get a better...www.readytogo.net
? I guess their fitness coach isn't doing a great job!

I don't think you need to worry about Stewart, he's an excellent, shrewd businessman and I am sure he'll do OK once he leaves, if he leaves, Sunderland.
The problem with Sunderland, is their unrealistic fanbase. Championship football wouldn't be acceptable to them either.
Or maybe Darryl really was telling the truth when he said he was doing what he thought was best for the club, by selling to Tiger. That said, I think we'd have been a better fit for Donald than Sunderland are. Our fans would certainly have been more patient.You might want to listen to the interview he gave their local tv. Comes across as anything but shrewd. Reckon he's massively out of his depth here and it's definitely not a case of if he leaves Sunderland, but when.
Maybe Darryl was the shrewd business man when he dodged this bullet and went with Tiger.
Scotchegg, have you ever met Charlie ? Or is your apparent hatred through arguing on these boards?SD has clearly been a good business man, and those who know him suggest that he's a very decent man. But he is an awful football chairman. He pumped £10m into Eastleigh without every getting any real stability, went through loads of managers and established a retirement home for all ex-Oxford players.
Sunderland looked like a great opportunity to double his money whilst massively raising his profile as a football league chairman. He would have been in the same boat as the vast majority of Sunderland fans who expected to walk the league. He said all the right things to stop the P**s taking party, but only managed to get rid of the high earners by paying them off or accepting bargain basement fees for them. He missed out on many high profile players, and paid over the odds for others. Will Grigg was a panic buy that was expected to guarantee promotion, but they choked time after time.
And it was clear from the day that automatic promotion was missed that an escape plan was needed. Takeover/investment deals were apparently in place to be completed at the Playoff finals, then June, July and monthly since then. SD was telling everyone that they were the best run club in the country, finances were amazing, they could run Sunderland in league 1 forever etc. But then they basically mortgage the whole club against a £9m loan, despite apparently having more than enough cash stuffed behind the sofas of SD, Charlie and Sartori to cover this in a heartbeat. And what is this money for? Apparently changing the speakers in the stadium and fixing a lift at the training ground, oh, and finding a couple of scouts in Scandinavia!
Is it any wonder that Sunderland fans are pissed? What was Charlie promising this season? 100 points? And they're a 3rd of the way through the season and 8 points short of the automatic places and a tricky replay away from being out of all cup competitions.
However you look at it, SD's tenure of Sunderland has been an absolute disaster and the experience at Sunderland and here have been chalk and cheese. Tiger has his issues, but I'd take him over SD, and Zaki over Charlie all day long. Christ, I'd rather have Olly the Ox running things that Salmon Pant man!!!!
They need a couple of wins quickly. It doesnt sound good.An interesting article here from SD:
Stewart Donald discusses his absence from games, why he'll return and 'impeccable' Sunderland fans
Stewart Donald says he will start attending Sunderland games again and says he needed ‘a short rebalance’ after a gruelling 18 months in charge.www.sunderlandecho.com
Why he didn't allude to the silence before is a shame. Clearly Comical Charlie could have spinned something
Having said that
