Didn't he manage Brighton at that level and take them to the prem?

Whoever is next will be the best thing since sliced bread and a complete breath of fresh air. They’ll also really get the club and it’s fans and be a MLF In some former life. In 6 months time when they are beat in the play offs he’ll be worse than shit and they knew from the start he was going to choke at such a big club like Sunderland.

Apparently 3 morgue staff took pics with his dead body (I’ve seen the photos and looks genuine, if not great fake) And boca ultras have hunted them down (seen video of one of them in a dumpster) and killed 2 of them and the other is in hospital. Madness all round if true, but you don’t fuck with them mad bastards. Hopefully Ashley fancies a spell in the Argentinian top flight after this spell.

If PIF are cleared to buy the club then they were never away from the table, if they are rejected again then they bailed the 1st time and haven't been back since. This is their face saving PR exercise strategy and I'm guessing this (currently no interested as its not gone through) is what anyone in any capacity within PIF would be saying to anyone interested. It shouldn't worry anyone.

Nee Danny Graham

Got Joelinton as Captain in my FF and played the triple card Said no one ever.

Genius of a footballer. Troubled human. RIP.

Fantastic move for Rafa, project etc... McClaren wasn't a part of the equation. Now he is, the idea of Rafa going is laughable. Piss poor management was always in the equation. Utter chancers, with access to some funds. Sunderland owners on a lottery win.

It's more than you deserve, but you've prompted me to mirror your turgid verbosity. When I first joined this board, there were two old timers. NE5 and HTL. Both absolute fucking bores when they got on their hobby horse of how Shepherd wasn't that bad, and to be careful what we wished for. These two drove posters from the board with their interminable hammering of the same points. You, sir, are worse than either of them. And so I'll refrain from making snide comments even when you punch people in the face with your utter tedium. I'll not interact with you again Yet they were both correct.

This was always the expected outcome. What an odd thing to say. What? er um . . . I'll give you 24 hours to work it out Well it sounds from what Mimms said that I'm correct and this is exactly the expected outcome. It's all legal games, shit moving in to position.

This was always the expected outcome.

Bruce isn’t the right manager for him but regardless of that you’d expect more from him and he’s failed to provide it. I still maintain he’s a victim of not having a natural position. This is where a good manager would make use of him, but what we have is a player who can’t nail one down to provide himself consistency (then Imo the performances would come) and a manager too clueless to help him do so. The end result is he’s moved on, at our cost and deemed as a flop. Sad story after so much promise when he signed.

Mass pitch invasion, get the game cancelled and fuck over sky/bt.

Jesus. Things surely haven’t gone that badly for him?

These people in these positions are utterly clueless aren’t they? Think his gay comments are the worst of the lot. Well, another dinosaur released out to retire.

Wanted Manu, went for NUFC, ended up with Derby County. If they are lucky they'll be the next, errr, Derby County.

A lot to truth in this. If they do go up it will be by the skin of their teeth, or complete fluke. Either way they'll have nothing to offer in a division littered with former premier league ambitions. Their squad is about 3-4 seasons away from competing with the likes of Huddersfield who themselves are probably never going to see the Prem again without a new owner and significant investment. I just can't see a way for them to return any time soon, and i mean a decade soon.

Every little helps. Sitting around whinging about it does nothing.

Rattled

Mopheed has lasted so much longer than he should have, even with the goodwill as an ex leg end. Hope he keeps them up, their fans don’t deserve to lose their place in the league.

7 games in and 10pts clear. Good foundation for new owners in jan.

6 goals for him now in the league, how many has Danny Graham got?
