Fair do even though I'm not a mackem as I wasn't born in Sunderland.

Just seems Turner is interested in wanting to blame Wilson for everything yet not realise his own loan signings have been utter shiit.

Although they haven't set the heather alight I wouldn't say any of them are 'utter shit' Lange, Nardiello, and Parker all have the potential to be very good for us. Also I didn't have any great expectations of Henderson.

I think what he is saying is "It wasn't me who signed those two keepers".

Well it's not as if he has Buffon in reserve is it?

Budtz or ALB, ALB or Budtz?

Combine the two and you don't have a good keeper.

The Pools games I've been to since Turner got the job, I've heard people asking this question to each other many times.

With all due respect (I know you watch Pools a lot, fair play) I find a Sunderland fan being critical of our club hard to stomach, your own club isn't perfect.

I might be being unfair it's just how I feel.

Wilson deceided who he wanted and Turner tried to make the deals I believe.

Which is exactly how it should be. You can't have a manager having players thrust upon him then getting criticised for signings. I think IOR felt that when Scott was manager things we slipping in terms of home our performances were being reported back to them and day to day goings on within the club. Mr Hodcroft isn't in the country that much and Chris Turner I'm sure is involved in the day to day running of the football club. If he didn't have a job to do, he wouldn't be in one and I think it's slightly out of order to suggest Chris Turner would lack so much integrity that he earned money for nothing. I'm sure his role in the day to day running of the club is very important.

Well, actually it is!!

It's strange he said 18 months. That's since the beginning of last season, whereas he's been here quite a bit longer than that. Maybe he just can't count. I don't think he's saying don't blame me for players brought in during that time; I think he's just saying don't ask me about them. There is a difference.

I'd settle for the return of Dimi.

How do you feel he answered your questions, or infact all of them so far?
