Legend

Was it all on the meter?

No, he arranged the prices beforehand with the manager of the taxi firm. £380 per car.

From the Guardian letters page:

"In reply to Jeff Dunn, who feted Niall Quinn in yesterday's letters for paying to get the Sunderland fans back home. Can I suggest that Quinn could have also paid to get the other passengers on the easyJet flight back. After all, it was the Mackems causing trouble that caused the police to be called and the flight cancelled. Not being an inebriated, foul-mouthed Sunderland fan, I had to pay my own £200 taxi fare" - Darren Taylor.

"Niall Quinn's taxi cabs are the best,
So stick it up your arse easy jet,
Fat Fred wouldnt do it for the mags,
Niall Quinns... Taxi Cabs"

Quinny. Legend.

Thats a load of bollocks. Quinn paid for everyone on the flight to get a taxi, not just the Sunderland supporters.

I read that as well, was in the letters on ALS site a couple of days ago (cant be arsed to go and find it now).

That poor cunt must have just been unlucky

Hopefully it will be taxi for most of the first team squad in the summer

Its just some Mag trying to wind everyone up.

I had some old couple from Ouston sharing my taxi home.

role on the match on sat see if i can get that one going.

Here is a canny Quinny interview following the new sponsor announcement today, on about how much money Keane will get even if we dont go up andthe new sponsorship deals etc. Mint

Sunderland chairman Niall Quinn has promised manager Roy Keane a summer cash bonanza whether he wins promotion or not.

The Black Cats today announced a performance-related sponsorship deal with Irish bookmaker Boylesports which could net the club more than £10million over four years.

With Keane's side top of the Coca-Cola Championship with just four games remaining, they are hot favourites to win a swift return to the Barclays Premiership.

However, Quinn will provide his manager with the financial backing to significantly improve his squad whichever division they are in, with the lure of big money if it is the top flight.

Quinn said: 'We have appointed a great manager, the player recruitment system he has introduced is working brilliantly, we have agreed a new bank deal which means we will not be giving all our money to the banks every year.

'We have a kit contract with Umbro which will be the envy of many football clubs, and here today we have another massive contract.

'It feels as though progress is in the air, but I will not be happy - I will never be happy, I do not think Roy will ever be happy - because to keep the momentum going, you have got to keep your eye on the ball and be prepared for every eventuality.

'That is why, if we are unfortunate enough to miss out this year, we have a massive injection to add to the team.

'The money from this deal, the money from the extra Sky parachute payment if we stay down, Drumaville will match the extra payment from Sky and we hope to have increased revenue next year in terms of the crowds.

'All that will go to Roy to improve the football team. That is me being a chairman ensuring Roy has all the structures he needs.

'If all goes well in the next four games and we manage to get into the Premiership the mindset is the same, but the figures will be different.'

Boylesports will succeed motor dealer Reg Vardy as sponsors after eight years and founder and managing director John Boyle has little doubt as to the club's potential.

He said: 'I would see Sunderland as Premiership winners, I would see them as Champions League winners.

'There is no end to success. When you have big goals and you have the right team, then it is easy because you are following a success formula that cannot fail.'

However, as the excitement on Wearside reaches fever pitch, Quinn and Keane are keeping their feet firmly on the ground.

Keane said: 'We know we have achieved nothing and the players are reminded of that every single day, every single training session.

'As I said from day one, if I focused on my job, which was trying to get a winning team, then I knew the club could make progress in terms of sponsorship, getting revenue up from big attendances, and that is where we were aiming to go.

'But you have got to have hope in life and I hope the best days are yet to come for Sunderland.'

Quinn and his Drumaville consortium have created huge expectation in the city by engineering a remarkable turnaround in fortunes both on and off the pitch.

But the chairman, who already enjoyed legendary status on Wearside because of his heroics on the pitch, admits there is a need for realism.

He said: "I just think 'realism' is the word I would look for in what we are trying to do. You cannot make airy-fairy promises and be like the fella trying to get you in to watch the circus and promise all sorts of things.

'We cannot do that, but what we can do is promise grit, determination, passion and money and we can give the club a chance again.

'That is what we have set out to do. We would be stupid to say, "This is going to happen, that is going to happen". But the signs are that the important things have gone well for us now.'

I know who I'd be more inclined to believe, and it isn't, an Irishman and his army of pissed Sunderland away supporters..

'these are my people' :sick:

I know, fucking pricks.

its all gravy man! quinny is a legend!

At southampton on monday, two of the safc supporters club coaches were bricked and the police said they would be unable to travel with broken windows. big niall again saved the day (again). the players were flying back anyway so after the team bus and another coach used for the backroom staff had dropped them off at the airport, he let the supports travel home in them.

Quinn's doing a decent job at the club so far, but it's getting a bit sickening the god-like status he's achieved in 9months or so. I know he was already popular from playing, but it's just ridiculous how mackems can't get their cock up him quick enough these days.
