Looks more and more mental that Coleman gave up the Wales job for Sunderland. He must have had better options if he had waited a bit.

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.

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.
Coleman sacked.
Club has just been sold also with all debts paid off

Bit of creative accounting with the sale no? Didn't Ellis Short say someone can have it for nothing if they pay the debt off? If so the club has no debt to outside people but would "owe" the new owner the sum they paid to eliminate the debt.
Hmmm ... Chris Coleman to Woolwich?
Wasn't the size of the debt absolutely huge? As in, far more than any League 1 club could possibly be worth, even if they were being given away for free?
I agree there's going to be more to this than meets the eye. I wonder if we'll be seeing their stadium being sold off or some other shite.
Yeah the debt is north of £200 million and there's players that where on £45-50k a week this season. No way to run a club in the position they're in
Fuckers never even responded to my offer. That’s it!
They can’t use my part of the London Stadium no matter how much they beg.
Coleman’s decision to join Sunderland is up there with the worst decisions ever in the game. Everyone could see this was madness.
Indeed. I've not got a clue what was going on in his head. He must have been aware that around Christmas-time tonnes of jobs become available. Sunderland was literally the worst club in the entire football league to plump for.
All the cache of taking Wales to the Euro semi-finals has gone down the toilet in a matter of months. Astounding.
So have Sunderland just been given a miracle?
No more club debt? Clean slate?
They would've probably filed for bankruptcy if Short hadn't done that.

I would suck Satan's cock to make that to happen
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
Watched the first episode. Man, I don’t think the club had any thought of anything outside the top 6, let alone relegation. Painful. Can’t imagine what it’s like, especially for a club and city like Sunderland.
It gets grimly addective as you know the fate me and my son watched 4 on the spin Simon grayson looks way out of his depth.
Can’t really sympathise if your ground holds 49,000 and you regularly have attendances of 8-13k
Highest they’ve had is 30k
All a bit fairweather to be honest
