Dokko Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Anyone not listening to what brummie as to say about MoN is pretty damn stubborn as much as they are stupid. Telegraph or something reckon £15m in the winter window, which is nothing, not when you are desperate and can only shop on the british isles. Scott Brown may yet move but not to us but to Sunderland. An average prem striker at this time will cost you £15m, shocking but true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 The thing is the villa fann says all this but his club still finished 6th 3 years on the bounce, I would take that as a NUFC fan, for a Mackem it would be progress beyond anything they could dream of. Hardly gonna finish 6th with current top 6 clubs though are they? It would takefairly sizeable investment for them to get to 7th or 8th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Can't say I've heard many Geordies using marra. Seems exclusively a smoggie/mackem type thing. A lot of older generation Geordies that I know often use the term marra. I hear it mostly in and around Durham myself mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't take it if it left the club financially crippled and having to appoint the likes of Alex McLeish to trim the wage bill, though. Also, getting into the top six now is entirely different to doing so in 2007. It takes a shit load more money, for starters, as in that time Man City have bought themselves a guaranteed berth in there. Tottenham seem to have made on of them theirs, too. Basically, you're now looking at Man U, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, Man City in six places at the top, and breaking that cartel is going to take an awful lot more money than MON spent with us. He's not going to get that much at Sunderland, not a prayer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, you've done very well, but being in the top six now is one thing, being there at the end of the season when tired players at better equipped clubs are easily replaced is a different thing, though. He'll do a better job than Bruce at Sunderland, but it's not a very forward thinking appointment, to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Anyone not listening to what brummie as to say about MoN is pretty damn stubborn as much as they are stupid. Telegraph or something reckon £15m in the winter window, which is nothing, not when you are desperate and can only shop on the british isles. Scott Brown may yet move but not to us but to Sunderland. An average prem striker at this time will cost you £15m, shocking but true. You've got to remember we are talking about Sunderland here. Sunderland who a 16th in the table, who've rarely been in the top since their return to the top flight. All the points that Brummie has made and all the other Villa fans are valid and if he was managing a club that is looking to push on, should draw warning flags. But he's not it's Sunderland, success to them should be mid table. Even if he's not given a penny to spend he'll improve that crock of crap, he's done that on small budgets at places other than Villa. Villa do and should have way bigger expectations to Sunderland, despite what some of their retarded fans think really repeating the 10th place finish they had last year should be regarded as a success. O'neill will deliver that, I can't see them heading for the championship under him which was the direction they were travelling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 "Given the budget restraints at the Stadium of Light, that money will have to come directly from Short, who will also have to cover the £6 million compensation due to Bruce following the termination of a contract that was due to expire in 2014." Shame, that could have bought them Mark Noble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stone Cold Steve Austin Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Agent Bruce did a wonderful job as Sunderland manager, from a NUFC fan's point of view. He: Sold Bent and got Gyan, then Bendtner. Still no recovery. Put Seb Larrson as a RB in the game that made the house fall. Purchased Titus Bramble. Purchased Sessagnon, and didn't even know how to use him. Round of applause to this man. He should've stayed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
