It really is hilarious. Trying the mind games but just making himself look a fucking idiot. While our totally dignified manager sits quietly and gets on with the job in hand. The difference in class is there to see.

That quote wouldn't look out of place in The Office. Reads like something David Brent would say about Neil. I can even imagine it in his voice.

He's lost the plot, the sub-plot, the underlying narrative, the main character arc, the denouement, the credits, the end-credit bit, the tickets and the popcorn.

 

He and the chicken town nonces are such a perfect fit. Stay up or go down, I wish them a long and tedious marriage.

He's obsessed with them dirty forrins, isn't he? Calling foreign players (including his own) mercenaries and now players get injured because because of foreign training methods.

His mantra during his time here was blaming everything on injuries... is he trying to reach John Carver level on trying to utter as much stupidity as possible?

It's a bit funny with the 'victims' they bring up to Rafa's training regime too. Taylor who breaks if it is windy outside, Janmaat who has been trained to punch walls at any given moment and Coloccini who was already injured by the time Benitez was hired I think.

That was my first thought too :lol:

 

Big Sam was fist pumping like it was going out of fashion at full time after their draw at the weekend

That reads like a The Onion article about the Twitter parody of Fat Sam.

Seem to recall our injury record under him being pretty atrocious too.

In fact we always seem to have one of the worst injury records pretty much every season, which suggests that its something else (Derek Wright?) and not really the manager

Defoe looked proper stressed after the Stoke game like. Reckon they are all sitting around complaining about ref decisions and forrins.

In Sunderland's dressing room they are only talking about age of consent in different countries.

I never understood how that kind of "mind games" could ever effect a modern manager. You read it, you go "meh", you carry on. It's not like the subject of the rant [Rafa, in this case] will go "Oh, there's a point. Think I'll change my whole training technique".

 

All FS is doing is showing his own players that he's having a mental breakdown.

If I was Rafa I would look at the comments and think "1 - 0".

They'll still get about £80m no?

 

You mean if they go down?, they'd get up to £87m spread over three seasons:

 

2016-17 - £40 million

 

2017-18 - £33 million

 

2018-19 - £14 million

 

But they got £70m last season alone and still managed to lose £25.5m.

 

EDIT: Thought the money was spread evenly per season but apparently not.

Do they not get a payment at the end of this season and then the following three payments are parachute payments ?

All teams currently in the Premiership (including Aston Villa and whichever other two teams get relegated) get paid their share of the TV money at the end of the season.

 

Parachute payments are completely separate - These two articles attempt to explain it: -

£25.5m loss posted.  They will struggle massively if they are relegated.

 

Gate receipts down 26% but their average attendance is up! The place must be swarmed with stinking tramps who are only there cos it's free.
