et tu brute

Clickbait, honestly wouldn't listen to any of the rumours until they are confirmed signings. Open season, we're going to be linked to everyone at both ends of the spectrum.

It will be the opposite, I can't see anybody with serious money being interested with PIF owning us.

Has been for years and it's there in black and white if you look at their yearly revenue (accounts) since the premiership years. Their come back is that we give away 10,000 tickets away, conveniently forgetting that it was Ashley, and that the actual average attendance up to that point was 46,000. The sad fucks have only had two seasons of getting above that average (just) since the 50's. It's the same when they go on about we woudn't get their attendances if we were in the 3rd division. Obviously we can't compare because we have never been that shit, but if you look at the averages in the Championship/Division 2, then not only have we always averaged more than them in that division, but their average also drops a lot more upon being relegated,

Be greta, unfortunately if they did, I think the Premier League would then go down the road of the Saudi state bing involved.

Can you imagine if they actully did that

We will see on the investment (I don't think they will), and for me they can happily go down to the conference league.

They're going to struggle like hell without investment, whilst we sail far, far away from their level. I've honestly seen the lot since Saturady, when they actually think (and believe) that we are jealous because they have been promoted to the second division . Talk about coping mechanisms, it's in full swing on Wearside .

I know one source that cunt won't have and that's the owners themselves.

I've always disliked Johnson and openly said to family and friends what I would do to him if ever seen him. That was before takeover and when it was obvious he had facilitated it then I stuck pins in a doll of the fat bumbling kernt.

Still say an anti-competition submission would have a field day in the courts. Still think this maybe something that rears its head in the future.

Just it said your choice which seemed to indicate it was only a fan vote.

It's a fan vote did anyone expect anything else than the scousers/glory hunters voting en masse.

I would pay not much attention to journalists as regards to the budget. They same people spouting the 'I've been told' info, were stating the same in January.

As mentioned above, Targett wanted away from Villa as he wasn't guaranteed first team football, so can't see him accepting being a back up here (if he is not Howe's first choice). I honestly think people need to get away from their thinking of loyalty to players. I have no doubt in the next few (2-3) years, just about every player in the current team/squad will have been replaced by a higher level of quality.

Aye our owners surely are going to be straight onto that.

Like his 50 million budget (January and this Summer). The one reporter I don't pay any attention to at all when it comes to NUFC exclusives. The fact he's an absolute cunt to boot also, makes it even easier.

Shouldn't the new title read Sunderland 'Masters of the Universe' following LEAGUE 1 Play Off win

Oh it's legit, there is black and white on their faux outrage thread

I presume that's including a couple of loans, because If we want 6 players for those positions, of the required quality and on full transfers, then it's going to cost a lot more than 150 million

Deep down they know that whatever success they have if any will be tainted. To watch your rivals have the weekend we’ve just had, to see your rivals go through the s##t we have endured over the past 5 years and not only did it not break us, it made us stronger and more United than ever…it’s killing then!

We need to be looking at players to the next level, just don't think he is that player to be honest.

More threads appearing (even one congratulating Brighton on finishing above us). I see Crinkly Granny has emerged from her coven also.

Personally, I would be looking to get him off the books as soon as possible. We won't get even a third of the price we paid for him though I would imagine.

Ive got no doubt about that. They need practically most of the team replaced and they're not in a healthy financial position either. Little Napoleon has always stated he will run the club within their means. Unless they get new investment they're fucked. Any new additional revenue will be used to cover the increased costs.

To see everyone talking about little old Sunderland and their amazing fans must be f***ing eye-watering Heard it all now, whenever we are on tv, the total fume and outrage of the coverage of our fans has them in absolute meldown, within their rather lengthy match threads on our games
