About right.
As ever, it's always a shame for the family of whoever it is that's died.

Still respect surely,don't think he ever meant the club harm.

RIP MM.
He may have made some mistakes along the way but I truly believe he always acted with the best intentions.

Shame he was part of the problem, not the solution.

Richardson claimed he left us in good shape. MM claimed he left us 60 million deep.
Remember the way cheques were being written in the 90's? and the fact that (even in the Premiership) HR was only three quarters full, on a good day. Then selling the ground we owed, to move and pay ridiculous rent?
I don't know what you can effectively do when you take over a club that deep in the shit.
I suppose; Don't take over is the obvious answer.

The damage he and his ilk did to this club makes SISU look like angels.
Would always observe a minutes silence as he is only human mind you.

Did he not have to pay £250,000 to acl recently as he had underwritten the rent .. Like others have said most of the things he did were done with the best intentions .. That is 2 life presidents gone in a couple of weeks .. Long may the other 2 live

rip,talking to one of the porters at the walsgrave not that long ago ,the guy knew him well, away from his role at the club, said what a good bloke he was and would always do his best for people .sometimes you cant do right for doing wrong in certain situations ,there was a lot of descisions made to save the club over a short period of time ,one thing I can be sure of is, no one on here would know the true depth of our problems and dealings , and if there is ,I bet they wouldn't risk talking .thoughts to the family

The only thing I'm going to say on this is that I hope the club show the proper level of commiserations in the exactly the way they didn't when former manager Noel Cantwell died.

It also serves the purpose that if you can't think of anything good to say about a man, don't say anything at all.

In what way are we in a better position since SISU took us over !!! whilst this is not the time to debate his tenure blaming Richardson for everything is a cop out, Richardson was an employee they were the owners, if they didn't like the direction Richardson was taking the club they could and should have stopped him.

Whilst I don't disagree with the main thrust of this, it is worth pointing out Richardson was also one of the owners.
Wonder if this affects the confidentiality deals they all signed...

Wouldn't that be perpetuating something that was wrong in the first place? Or are you making it okay by labeling it 'karma' ?

I don't think it would be right or wrong in this instance if there was a minutes silence. On that occasion it was just plain wrong not to.

McGinnity was left to pick up the pieces when he took over. He tried his best for the football club. RIP Mike.

Kind of understand the Sunderland fans opinions on their board regarding JH now.
Yes, exactly. Was thinking the same myself.

Just like selling out to Sisu I hate them but who was to know the shit that would follow?
