Terrible decision making on his part to go there tbf.
I’ll have it. I don’t mind a bit of debt. Happy to take it. Seems a bargain. Who do I contact ?
I part own a Stadium in East London so my plan might be to move Sunderland to Stratford and call them Sunderland Stratford London.
Grabban and Rodwell are examples of everything that is wrong with football.
Rodwell reminded me of Judas at Pompey, would rather see the club go out of business than take a pay cut or terminate his contract that will have paid him £22mn over its duration.
Grabban left because he didn't like being subbed.
Cunts of the highest order.
Fearsome place but loyal fans. I think that they have sold well over 30k tickets for their boxing day game, will probably have a better attendance than us.

This poor kid is going to reminded of this for the rest of his life
The best man's speech at his wedding,the lot
Sunderland till I die is a fly on the wall documentary series on Netflix is a bittersweet, fascinating and often hilarious look at club succumbing to humbling second demotion in a row. You heart goes out to the people of Sunderland
Halfway through the documentary now just watching some of the defeats remind me so much of us from 97-04, of course we were not as bad but there was just some really shit football at times and you knew even some average sides would give us hell, even at home. At 1-0 you were always just waiting for the opposition to equalise
So glad that all seems a distant memory now, of course we lose odd game but people who remember that time will remember that feeling, the pit in the stomach that we were hopeless for long periods, awful

Part of me wonders if the Wales job has given him some type of Messiah complex, if he had done his due dilligence he would have known it's a job to avoid.
A work mate of mine is a Sunderland fan and text me after our defeat last night to remind me things could be a lot worse!
They have a 49K stadium they hardly ever filled. They bought garbage players and played shite football. I don’t miss them
Bit sad really, one-club places like Sunderland draw heavily on the performance of their team. I can’t imagine it’s become a more miserable place, feel sorry for them
Hardly getting it for free if you’re taking on over £100m in debt. They’re fucked.
Season two just took a twist.
I actually put a lot of this (and what's happened at Villa) down to Martin O'Neill and their respective owners at the time. He increased the wage bill do much at both clubs by paying stupid wages to past it or overpriced players that neither club has recovered from. Both saddled with ridiculous wages that forced them to think more negatively to stave off relegation, which in turn only brought it on.
He'e repeatedly doubled down on his willingness to stay on irrespective and has now, I understand, offered to take a pay cut.

(I know, I know! Think of what it takes to be sent to "The Wall" in Game of Thrones. It's like that, but slightly worse.)

It's my Birthday and I've had a few scoobies/scoops.
COYMFS!

I too binged on the Sunderland documentary over Christmas. I felt a degree of smug satisfaction at their plight. Mainly because of how it felt back in the 90’s to be on the end of the Quinn & Phillips partnership and being Spurs, losing as we did to Sunderland was fucking awful. I know we had some decent results there, but overtime I always felt a sense of doom going to the North East for an away day defeat - I dislike Middlesbrough and Newcastle for similar insane reasons. It was not their fault we were crap and to be fair I never HAD to go !
Back to the documentary, it’s great TV and sad in places to watch. The club matters so much to so many but it was a shit show on the pitch no matter what they did. I think they could have had Poch in charge and still gone down.

I've got socks older than him !
Maybe the club management but the fans deserve better
