I would actually think a bit less of rafa if he walked out on Everton he's too much of a gent to walk out so soon. If club are having regrets and want the compensation may be different

kraft over schar crikey jones out

I would rather us just have less money to spend than change stadium name at all tbh.

I have to admit to being bemused people are ok with changing name now as if only problem with it before was money. It's st James park and it should stay as such

I didn't know he could sack them

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

If you count joelinton

This new fangled pressing is just a fad brucey knows way to get results is just basically luck

I dunno there is Jeff Hendrick

Haha useless defending right in front of new owners.

Dear god i am in tears, wish I was there

Banging on about how well he has done to keep us in the premier league, to be fair he did have to overcome the massive handicap of having steve bruce as manager. Oh.

Very easy to say you'd take a moral stand theoretically Honestly though it's the premier league's fault footballs totally fucked why don't they boycott all premier league games? (and i don't mean that to be snide. All this outrage from people as if it's our clubs problem glosses over the fact that this is the leagues problem, and we're all in it together)

Right we're definitely going to hire Ole after Conte to Man U right

Ok thought this was probably sensible thread to have this discussion. What should the owners do in the immediate future in terms of on the pitch, I'm not talking specific managers or players necessarily. Do you try and find a manager to take the manager on long term straight away? Or do you get in someone a bit less exciting maybe to firefight and keep us in premier league this season, with view of better managers coming available in summer (and if dude does very well can be kept I guess). I would be tempted to get a director of football to come in and spend the next 6 months getting everything including recruitment structure behind the scenes all straightened out before worrying about attracting any super big name managers but torn because a shit manager beloved of pundits could still get us relegated. I doubt a Tuchel sort would want to join until summer at least. Transfers wise, assuming they're telling the truth and not going to spend all the money in the world immediately I still think at least 3 solid quality players are needed in winter. We 100% need a high class midfielder and striker. Press are banging on about more centre backs but a good coach should be able to get Schar back into team and get lascelles playing well again. I, think any 'big name' signings will be over expensive in january. We are going to be offered every overpaid unwelcome player in all the leagues from teams hoping to get a quick buck from naive new owners. I would also try and avoid totally breaking the wage structure immediately lest cause problems with current squad we still need. I would try and get ASM on new contract mind.

He's excellent but I fear he will be lost alongside all the other attacking talent being kinda wasted at Man U. He has all the tools and a nice ability to shoot early accurately, hope he kicks on to become an England regular.

Fucking embarrassing. I guess all the people bombed in yemen were all paedos or something next? You. Do. Not. Have. To. Like. The. Person. Who. Owns. Your. Football. Club.

fucking hell

People want to move the stadium? I know we cant expand as much as wanted but good god I would't trade having stadium at top of city for the world. Albeit also realise keeps getting fucking blocked off by more and more shit buildings

Think some of you need to develop thicker skins a bit yeah maybe had a go at us in full more than should but just a cartoon and going to be way more of this to come. He will has some cracking strips now and then

Nothing in rumours until proper management team in place clearly mostly just agents trying to flog to us soon as possible

Yeah he's a long time Sunderland fan but usually alright. I get a lot of what he's saying but attitude to fans is condescending and hopeless.

He'd probably ride an initial wave of hope, get excited go drinking with fans, and as soon as he appoints bruce and fucks it up and the fans turn he will just treat them like money cows like us from then on.

Friend has suggested Ashley is interested in derby cos he's an energy vampire
