Letting him try and run it off doesn’t seem the best move but at least he’s not played like a man on one leg for months before having the operation.

I heard the intial scans all showed something wrong to varying degrees, the club were happy for him to have surgery, he thought he could rest it, the other injury situations at the club played into that decision and now he’s out for another 6-9 months after playing like shit and looking nothing like he did before the injury for a couple of months.

Not sure how they align when you were told it was all ok and the new injury came out of the blue when Downie’s description sounds like they made every wrong decision from start to finish.

The only finals I can think of hosting are Rugby or Football. You’re not getting a Uefa final away from Wembley and you’re not getting a Rugby final away from Twickenham, other than ones we’ve already had.

Sunderland are nicking the big concerts. They’ve got one this year.

Which ones then?

Fair enough but no clubs in England are having more than a few concerts a year. Needing a new stadium for that doesn’t seen worthwhile.

What high profile sporting finals could they have? There hasn’t been a uefa final in England outside of Wembley since it was rebuilt. We’ve had Rugby finals as well as international games in rugby and football.

People wanting to play in a not full stadium yet moaning about the current atmosphere doesn’t make much sense. How many concerts do other clubs have? Spurs have three listed this summer and can’t remember other clubs having more than that. Also got the rugby union european finals which St James had recently. Is only the nfl in addition to that and probably no more of those games to go around. If concerts are such a big draw and money spinner why are they building the new arena near enough the same size as the old one?

Would have preferred to see him show a bit of interest on Monday night.

I don’t think anyone wants him sacked but he’s not got the previous experience/achievements to be untouchable for where the club want to be. If any of the current top 7 sacked their manager I don’t think he’d be considered by any of them if he was available. Maybe Tottenham.

You should probably let every club in the world know that you watching a game and looking at the score is a better indicator than xg.

Because every club in the league uses xg to assess performance rather than results.

And not using Ritchie to take a penalty. He’s getting every decision wrong at the moment.

Fucking unbelievable bring someone on take a penalty and it’s not Ritchie. Incredible.
