Sunderland ‘Til I Die

Watched it all today and thought it was a mockumentary, as stated the geezer would give Brent a run for his money. The lass in ticketing might be looking for a new job as well!

I binged watched this today. That Charlie Methven, the CEO, is pure David Brent. What a prize bellend.

Imagine caring about the chekatrade trophy and crying when you lose the final. Odd breed, Sunderland fans

You're telling me. Still going on about 1973 and have a major inferiority complex over the Barcodes.
Thoroughly enjoyed the Cods win against them last season and its great seeing them making up the numbers in L1.😁
 
I've just watched the first three episodes
As you say the CEO is a massive knob.
In the episode I just watched, they sacked the marketing / ticketing manager straight after she had smashed the target she was set (biggest ever gate for a 3rd tier fixture). They got 46,000 previous highest was 38k.
 
Wonder if the Cods version of this will be as funny .. certainly a few more knobs to match the Mackems!

I'm sure Sunderland still find time to remind their neighbours that it was the most recent major trophy won by either of them.

Who did they beat in that final. It seems to have slipped my mind 😉
 
Watched a nature prog in that area only this week. He said that sunderland meant 'separate place'.
I think that would be from 'asunder' i.e. separate parts or pieces.
I bet not many from Sunderland know that. 😉
 
Wonder if TV execs are now kicking themselves they didn't start following the Oystons after the Premier League promotion! Would have been like Joe Exotic ... only worse!!

Finished watching the second series. Agree about Methven he was obnoxious right from the start but to be honest the middle management seemed to be keeping their heads down and not really contributing. I thought Jack Ross actually came across as a good manager but his job was made very difficult when Josh Maja was allowed to leave in the January window.

The program gave a real insight into how players agents operate but to be honest the Sunderland hierachy were pretty inept. For an extra 200K they could have kept Maja till the end of the season and probably would have been promoted.

The true story behind Maja's move to Bordeaux in Sunderland 'Til I Die

'Why would you want to leave Sunderland Football Club?' To the previously unaware, as soon as that sentence left Stewart Donald's mouth it was obvious how things would end for Josh Maja.

The whole Grigg transfer saga was comedy gold too
 
I reckon they’d have gone up if Maja stayed. I’m not having it was all his agent. He clearly knew what was going on
 
Really?

Methven was bang on, asking a bunch of overpaid, overqualified, undermotivated non-entities to actually do their jobs instead of just cashing their pay-cheques and sending the bill to the owner

Ross was a cliche-regurgitator a la Grayson. Mildly effective in the right circumstances. Little unfortunate with Maja, but contributed to leaving them with their pants down obey Grigg (that money’s on fire, your banker is terrified)
 
I think it's quite funny as I've never liked Sunderland after being chased into the sea in the infamous game at Roker Park. I watched them at the Cods last season when they were winning, they were all singing Sunderland till I die. The Cods robbed them at the death and they all went berserk booing manager and players.

Are you saying they are a bit fickle SHT 😁
 
Had to laugh when that woman is crying asking 'why are we never the ones celebrating after losing to Charlton'.

Clearly she wasn't around when they were happily drinking from the Premier League trough!
