Exiled in Texas

Next season is the last Marrachute payment from the Prem (about £16M I think), and that was supposed to be spent on solidifying their Champo squad for the Promotion push. Well, the last part is true .... they will be spending it on promotion push

And after predicting that the stadium would be 60-40 Sunderland (not mentioning Reivers 80-20 prediction) with large Sunderland presence in the Pompey end.... RTG - checkatrade cup final winners, shite club, shite fans. RTG - And I thought their fans were better and louder than ours. RTG - They weren't, like. Pretty even. So after their takeover of CG and TS, ruling Wembo, Greatest fans etc...... they were evenly matched with by a Shite club with Shite fans. Hahahahahahah Fooking glorious

Pretty good that - Impressed. We'll never hear the end of how they "Took over TS" now

Just looked at their remaining fixtures 9 games to play, and 6 are against teams in top half of division (only three against bottom half teams). And 4th place Sunderland till have to play games against 3rd, 6th and 7th place teams (where they respectively Lost, Won and Tied in the opposite fixture). This is not the "Gimme" run in that the RTG crew make it out to be. Will be interesting to see if they have a Wembo hangover for the Wednesday trek down to Accrington for one of their easiest "on paper" games

Yes. But surely they were only a medium using the Texas metric Hehe not sure if that’s the “bigger in Texas” thing or fat Americans but probably true either way ?

Wasn’t the Gravy Stained notion from a picture of two large Newcastle fans in their replic shirts where one had a large gravy stain down the front of his shirt?

The Sunderland post was actually quite good. Honest assessment of the situation, for Sunderland and NE Football in general, without any RTG afflictions.

Rafa would have to buy Abraham - we already have Kenedy loaned from Chelsea

She's anyone's the neet She's a hugger.... I want a hug from her

Hehehe Lost to Darlington, last minute equaliser to tie Hartlepool. But they are going to piss the league. They better hope that they don't lose to Boro or RTG will melt down. Now has anyone got the number of the team that just played Everton? The Don would like to arrange a quick scrimmage

I love how the RTG witch trials immediately tar and feather anyone who is slightly suspicious of The Don and isn't quaffing the Methven CoolAid.

Do you have a link for that marra? Nah sorry, nothing I could find but it is in their issue 1471 from about a month ago, page 15 under the heading "World of Sport". Fucking Mag cunt! I smell Bisto!! IGNORE!!

Perfect result. Don't get beaten, but still get the easier side of the draw.

Some seriously illiterate people there. I understand typos in messages but some of those requests lack even basic sentence composition.

If it was really as easy to get rid of the old contracts and bring in new players before shooting back up the leagues, Short would have done that. As it was, Short determined that it was better to pay $20-$20M to get The Don to take it off his hands, than to stick around and keep subsidizing things. The fact that RTG thinks he paid off the debts out of honor or moral obligation (and not desperation) is the funniest thing about this.

That would be Bundesliga 2 club HSV, so maybe he would be interested in a transfer

Now we see why Ellis effectively paid The Don £30M to take Sunderland off his hands (he must have decided that there was no way to even recover the running costs)

Jack in Peace

But... But ... Short paid off the debts as a matter of honor for screwing up the club No. Sorry. He paid off the debts as it was the only way to get anyone to show any interest in taking over that shambolic festering and financial sink-hole turd of a football club. But keep thinking that he did it because it was the "noble and decent thing"

I love the RTG mindset that "paid off all the debts" means that Short has paid off all future bills Total fantasy land

Mackematic 101 states that their attendances are factored against the "Our Fans" Coefficient of Sh!teness, which means that their attendance of 19,237 is actually the equivalent of 39,897 because the standard of play is so poor, that the fans in attendance are worth more than fans of teams who play better football. So it's actually more impressive to have 19,237 fans watching a Sh!te team, than 39,897 watching a good team. Except, of course, if the higher attendance is actually in Sunderland's favor , in which case your team sucks, is pub-league, small club, basically sh!te and Sunderland is the far superior club.

Which ironically is also stating that West Ham are bigger than SAFC.... which I am sure they will dispute (3 league titles in 1900s, Bank of England Club, 6IAR, 9-1 FTM etc)

And yet no one asks WHY Short was so desperate to dump SAFC that he was willing to pay of the bank debt and write of his own debt. Nope, they still think he did it as an honorable act, and not because it was the only way to make the club appealing to a buyer. Paying off the SBC loan will have given SAFC relief from the £600k month interest payment but they were still allegedly making £2M month loss so that’s still a huge negative hole in the the revenue stream that needs to be patched monthly

BbbbBut, concessions marra... Kids tickets... the north sea. All the SC holders who died this year. It's all Magedia lies

The fact that no one has asked WHY Short is "giving away" the club, and no one has asked What condition the club is in that "giving it away" is preferable than keeping it... just boggle my mind. RTG is so distracted by the Shiny-Object of No-Debt, that they are missing the big issue of a huge negative cash flow that right in front of their face. How they can believe that Short paid of the debts as the honorable thing, and not for some financial benefit to himself, is amazing.
