TaylorJ_01 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 That's a simply brilliant piece of writing. Anyone reckon we could convince him to post on the forum? He already does. He's called... Brett. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I said on Total Sport last night, that Mike Ashley is robbing us of the chance to do what Sunderland are doing, and this will continue for as long as he stays as owner; http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01rr5t1 1hr 22 in.

Chris_R Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Tremendous article. I just wish someone could tape Mike Ashley to a chair and read it to him again and again until he understands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Great piece. I think football has changed forever now though, certainly at the top level. Not sure what you mean by that. Recent cup finals show that there is actually more chance of a surprise package ending up there, not less. Just that PL survival is everything to a lot of clubs. Essentially the approach to the cups from Sunderland was the same as ours, the difference is they got to later rounds and had something in their sights, whereas we failed immediately.

Chris_R Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 A actually now kind of hope Sunderland stay up. Otherwise it'll be another thing we get thrown at us as to why we can't try to win a cup - "Look at Sunderland, do you want that?" Even though the reality is that the mackems were rooted to the bottom of the league long before their first cup game and have actually done better since as they've used their cup success as a springboard to improving their league form and confidence.

UV Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Great piece. I think football has changed forever now though, certainly at the top level. Not sure what you mean by that. Recent cup finals show that there is actually more chance of a surprise package ending up there, not less. BUT YOU INEVITABLY GET RELEGATED!!!! While several other clubs had recently suffered relegation after winning a domestic cup, NUFC still put out a strong team against Cardiff City which was capable of progressing into the next round of the FA Cup. "Do you want us to be the next Wigan, Portsmouth, etc" is the new "Do you want us to be the next Portsmouth, Leeds, etc" People have probably said "I think football has changed forever now though" every year since 1888. It's the same as "I don't think anyone can break into the top X now" where X happens to be the number of dominant teams in the current season, but almost inevitably some team does in the following year or two. It's all just bollocks to justify not trying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
