Figures 1-0 Football Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 While these might not get relegated again, is staying up even as a mid-table club good enough for them? They had fuck all money this summer, despite selling Pickford for £30m plus the parachute payments. Another manager sacked, less parachute money and literally no saleable assets, they're absolutely fucked for next season as well, surely? Aye, unless Short suddenly turns the taps on or they are taken over, this will continue and only get worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Surely they'll have to pull some money from somewhere for January? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 That's the thing, they can't be standing still in January as other teams in and around the toilet will surely be trying to spend their way out. They'll start feeling the strain after the new year when their injury prone 30 something's start falling apart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 On my travels when I mention I'm a Newcastle fan Shearer, Beardsley, Keegan, Macdonald, Waddle, Gazza ect come up straight away Sunderland doesnt even get a mention fuck off! they never heard of Sewpa, Bally, Sir Niall, Marco Goalo.... If you're a football fan on the continent the only time they'll have possibly entered your consciousness would have been the Di Canio fascism controversy and the Johnson thing.

bhoywhonder Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I'm sure they'll stay up because they score quite a few, but it'll only be 19th/20th which is still humiliating for them. Then the loanees leave, the contracts expire and the parachute payments drop. Sayonara, you bellends. For anyone else it would be, but these dickscratchers will be booking an open-top bus parade and celebrating yet another great escape. It's what happens when you have a docile fanbase who accept mediocrity as a benchmark. Well, not counting the 20K who buggered off when the free tickets evaporated, they're the real heroes...

Scoreboard82 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 B2B relegation seems too good to be true but a bit of a gap is opening up between them and 4th bottom Brum i see. Gotta be scaring the s**t out of them even if they do get out of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool fans idolise him do they not? Yep. Champions League winner, numerous seasons where they reached the latter stages, only 2 seasons where they finished outside the top 4, FA Cup win and had all this success under 2 absolute mongs as owners. Don't get this conception that he isn't great in a league season either. Liverpool should have won the title in 08/09. 2 defeats all season, 86 points. He's s**** though.

Infinitely Content Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 No manager is ever perfect with signings and it’s prob Rafa’s only weak spot. However look at that Napoli team and he signed a fair few of them Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I kind of disagree regarding Rafa being bad at signing players. I think he signs players who he knows will work for him (a good example being our championship signings), which are usually not the most fashionable names out there but are usually the best available to apply the kind of tactics and instructions he has in mind.

Guest neesy111 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 His turnover of players at liverpool was pretty ridiculous mind. Something like 60 players in 6 seasons. His best transfer activity was at Napoli as it helped build the core to the side they have now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hithere Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 January could be make or break for them. If Short allows Coleman to bring a few players in, maybe they'll pull away and be OK. If the handcuffs stay on or worse if they have to sell more players like Kone etc, it's only going to get worse as they'll be down to playing kids. At least it makes a change from playing with them. You haven’t watched Kone play much since Allardyce left? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
