You need to understand how to add material. This is a biography of a living person and any inappropriate or irrelevant content will be removed, regardless of permission. Sorry, but as it stands there is too much about the club itself, which is covered in club-specific articles. There are no citations for the material you added and various other breaches of policy and guidelines. I appreciate your endeavour but you must apply new material in the accepted Wikipedia manner, otherwise set up your own website if you are so keen to publish this.

editOkay. First the good news – I am a lifelong Sunderland supporter - over 40 years - so I have no bias against anyone from Wearside!
I am not a biography expert, but I would suggest looking at Ken Bates, Peter Ridsdale, David Dein and Sir John Hall for contemporary examples. You should read policy BLP which explains the rules for adding content. In particular please note the rules about verifiability not truth and original research which I’m afraid will encompass your content proposals. You will need to provide sources that can be quoted and referenced, in much the same way as a book or newspaper article could be. Hope this helps. Leaky Caldron 10:49, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
The discussion should continue here, on the article's talk page: Talk:Bob_Murray#Proposed_new_content, thanks. Leaky Caldron 18:27, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
