AliGupter Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Why on earth would Bruce virtually tell every club out there that he's going to spend around £17m on a striker?? Puts pressure on himself and the board to spend that, sticks an extra couple of million on players who might not have cost that much, and if he doesn't break the record because a top striker won't go then he'll get slated by the fans. He is simply thick as pig s***. Does he have a song lined up for after he breaks their transfer record ? Wang Chung - A Fool & His Money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 The fact that the most important attribute Bruce has said he is looking for in his new striker is a big price tag is utterly moronic. How can you not understand this Wearside? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karjala Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Bruce has really said that Sunderland will "break their transfer record this summer"? For a number of reasons, what an utterly moronic thing to say. The bloke is thick as pig s***. Lost me here. no surprise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmmm What a pile of steaming Bull s***! well I was at the arsenal game with a gooner who said they were lucky to score all their goals on the break as we dominated the entire game, nolan was just having some high jinks and we deserved to win 7-0 with all their goals taken away because of the sending off, he actually cried tears of joy when we equalised and jumped up and down shouting "I wish I was a geordie" see we can do it too !

Guest toonlass Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Mackems back to their cheap ticket deals. Season ticket holders can buy two additional tickets at a tenna each for the Liverpool game. Season tickets free with a happy meal are being considered again next season.

David Icke - Son of God Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Shamelessly stolen from elsewhere: Just noticed that the accounts for Sunderland Ltd for the year-ending 31 July 2010 are out. Key highlights are; Turnover is flat at £65m. However in there you have TV revenue +11% being offset by reductions in gate receipts (-9%), sponsorship (-4%), conferencing (-22%) and retail (-16%). Wages:Turnover ratio has increased to 82.2%, up from 76.8% in 2009. Loss for the year has increased to -£27.9m, up from a loss of -£26.5m in 2009. The 4 directors (Quinn, Walton, Callaghan & Byrne) paid themselves £1.12m, down from £1.94m the previous year. The highest paid director (doesn't state who) earned £326k (down from £888k in 2009). Ellis Short wrote off £19m of existing loans due from the club and invested a further £22.4m in the year to July 2010. These are interest free unsecured loans. Due to the losses made, Sunderland's directors have had to request a commitment from Ellis Short that he is willing and able to continue to support the operations of the company for the foreseeable future. Short has provided this. The club spent £39.3m in transfer fees in the year and recouped £12.0m. The club still owes £15.5m on transfer fees plus potentially another £6.5m depending on performance of players bought. Summary: They're spending way beyond their means and fucked if Short keels over tomorrow. No wonder Niall is trying to get more fans through the turnstiles.
