"with a wage bill of around £10m, it would hardly be attractive to a potential investor to think that amount of spending in comparison to their rivals was not enough and more would be needed." Does this not strike anyone as burying their heads in the sand, if not a little contradictory?? The investors are buying in to help the club progress up the leagues but there's no need to invest in the squad as it's already the most expensive in the league??The Don is happy to sell part of his stake in a club who's squad doesn't need investment to go up, in exchange for a few quid to fix the lifts and change the lightbulbs?? Me thinks Charlie Bullshit strikes again!!

FPP in peace, Just popped in so we could let you know how much we've always highly respected sunderland, just like the rest of global football does. Proper club with loyal, down to earth, well-dressed and svelte supporters who absolutely deserve £10m for no reason at all. Also please let us express how much we absolutely despise your neighbours Poocastle who have always appeared arrogant and probably think they have a divine right to £10m and whose supporters are always scruffily dressed with gravy stains on their tops and clinically obese to a man. While we're here please take £10m, we insist. No strings attached marras, just pay it back when you can. Cheyers FFP / FTM 9-1 6-in-a-row

Heard from a usually reliable source that they offered Pearson the job over the weekend so looks like he's turned them down and all

Agree with this, certainly not good enough to lead the line by himself anyway. His hold up play is poor, he's not going to consistently win long balls in the air but alternatively he's not sitting on the shoulder of the last defender either waiting for a ball clipped over the top or to press/pounce on errors when they have the ball. The tactics and lack of service clearly aren't helping him either and you've got to wonder what actual instructions he is being given by the coaching staff as he looks lost at times like he's not sure what position to take up.

I reckon you'd get nastier responses today like. Not just in sunderland but the country in general. The most unusual thing by today's standards is the apparent assumption on the part of the interviewer that everyone they spoke to would be straight themselves. Had to have a little chuckle at 1:22, asking the bloke with the puffed up cravat and ostentatious hat how he would feel "if" his best friend was gay. Also, man with scowly face: "are you being personal like?" Interviewer: "yes"

I've got no respect for him at all. Horrid individual. Says it all that none of the fans of any of his former teams hold him in any kind of regard or have any respect for him. i guess i mean that shearer is brutal on twitter, can't remember anyone getting the better of him and this daft little cunt who pretty much everyone hates decides to have a pop Picking an argument with a bigger name to drum up interest in his book and make a few extra quid. I know it's a typical publisher trick when it comes to footballers books but it suits him down to the ground- shameless and shoddy.

Tbf the weird swivel-eyed hatred that a lot of Everton fans have toward nufc would make them natural best buddies with this lot- there's logic behind the scouse mackems tag. It's a bit like the "xxxx fan in peyce" trend from last year, only this one might actually be genuine.

Shit-craic mackems in having shit craic shocker. For all his stupidity Michael Martin had these down to a tee when he described their "off-the-peg ftm banter." It's like there's two or three with enough braincells to come up with a saying or a tagline or a phrase for bantz and the rest of the zombies will literally repeat it verbatim over and over.

Makes a refreshing change from the usual annual campaign where they show their respects by using SBR's name to score points on the club he supported and its fans.

As painful as the last 15 pages are to read, it beats the hell out of talking about Steve fucking Bruce

Only been here 5 minutes and he's already calling other teams "United." Needs to take his face for a shite the horrible cunt.

Course they weren't. Pretty sure I originally voted for Rafa staying but having seen that scenario play out, I'd vote the other way now. Fair play for this insight mind, got it down to a tee. Any chance of the euromillions numbers for Friday??

Kieran Richardson?!? Bet the f..king plank changed his name to that by deed poll and all.

If sunderland can't beat whichever of these gets through, they need to be very very disappointed in themselves. Both look turbo-shite

Would be full if it wasn't wedding season

Nah. No way the Police would allow both sets of supporters to travel to London at the same time. The East Coast main line would be a complete mess. It's been done before when we were both away in the cup and going through kings x on the same day a few years back. They'll clearly play it on the Saturday if it is charlton vs sunderland first leg, to minimise any potential disruption and although I reckon a lot of our fans will have booked to go down on the Saturday months ago, the vast majority will be sober enough to behave themselves on the trains. Most of the knackers tend to go on coaches these days anyway. On the other hand, if they play it on the Sunday and people are heading back up with a full weekend of beer behind them then all bets are off, especially they've had a bad resut!!!

Look at the state of that url. They're just a bunch of 9 year olds aren't they

No problem with them looking forward to a good day out at wembley- that's what the competition is there for, to put a smile on the faces of fabs of lower league clubs. You just know it'll soon enough (because everything always comes back to us with them) be turned into something "the mags" are jealous of. Which is where they'll fall down and look daft, because giving it big licks on the bragging rights is most definitely not what that competition is there for!

This is it. If we had turned on him we'd be deluded arrogant mags hounding out another manager, just like the time 5,000 people tried to physically chin bobby robson at the end of the wolves game in 2004. It's like playing a game you can't win (with a really slow child) so I really wouldn't pay too much attention to what sunderland fans opinion is like.

In a similar vein to this, remember reading on here years ago someone saying sissoko had "all the attributes" to be our yaya toure. He literally had none.
