That's a fair point, but I'd not be expecting us to look at ageing expensive loans given the improvements to our scouting department. Hopefully more up and coming players in the botman mold.

14k a month after tax and pension...while being coached to be fit as hell and being able to say you're a footballer....I'd be dead in a week with drink, tarts, and fine dining

He's a very expensive option to replace Lacelles on the non playing CB role. Hopefully Ashford and the team have younger cheaper option in view

Still nice work if you can get it. 5k a week for sitting around in the vague hope that 3 people better than you aren't available. Don't know how the poor guy copes

Yes...used to be straight knockout completion with only the champions of the leagues playing. First extended when we got 2nd under Dalglish, and still had to do a qualifying round...recall that Ketsbaia got the goal to get us in

He's no Dave Challinor

Dan Burn has been a fixture in a team threatened by relegation to champions league in the space of a year. O'Shea was surrounded by the best and always did a good/decent job when called on. Ultimately always just a space filler to do a job when the first choice wasn't available. So yes I think it is fair to say Burn has been more useful to us than O'Shea ever was for you

Was he b*****ks Different player different role, and Burn has been far more effective and useful for us than O'Shea ever was for you.

Hans....it came with the frame

Would we take Joselu back now?

Think the exact situation is that he has gets the interest on it till mommy clocks it. Either way as we saw with Big Fat Mike....having money doesn't mean your going to spend it all on a football club

He doesn't actually have any serious cash till his mother clocks it though. Well I say serious cash ...I doubt any of us would refuse it, but it's not enough to run a club the size of Sunderland on a month to month basis

This season has been amazing. For the first time ever it looks like we've got where we are through sensible and sustainable management. Yes Keegan got us places, but it always looked like surfing on a wave that was always going to collapse, Robson did too, but always relied on a bit of magic from Robert, Bellamy, or a bit of grit from Shearer or Speed. We seem to have a bit of all now and some smarts for a change....just changes that last minute draw to a win, or pulls a win from no-where. Makes a difference

Clearly got some bad taste.....Fratellis is the worst place I've been for at least 4 years. Walked out after taking more than an hour to do even a drink order despite it being quiet

Their new owner doesn't actually have any money....he has a few thousand based on the interest on the trust fund which his mother controls. Big Mike had more in wallpaper

Surely Man U should be more concerned about losing out on goal difference?

He'll be off to Real Madrid next to enjoy a different teams bench for a few months

Scouse tears?

It was dog ugly and uncomfortable as hell with that itchy collar, but looking back it was so different to any other kit going at the time. A revisit with a more comfortable collar would not be the worst thing castore could do

When your personal wealth is above 2billion pounds, it's a bit different to someone who only has a few thousand. 25 percent to a billionaire isn't going to take food off his kids table, where it may well do to the average person

That dark blue with orange and green stripe? If it was released now it would be an instant classic for being innovative and different

This was awesome. Custard Creme Champions

Now that is how a manager should be. Hopefully he keeps the same humility when he lifts our next trophy. Awesome

He really is the turd that won't flush

It's ours to lose. Focus on our own matches and it doesn't matter what Liverpool (and Brighton) do.
