I had no idea that Cattermole still has 3 and a half years left on his contract. :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

Cattermole & Rodwell are going to be on more in a month than a lot of League One clubs pay a season for their squad.

 

Ok, exaggeration but in 2016 Sheff Utd had an annual wage bill of £6m which was three times over the League One average. Those two will be on at least £100k a week combined, which isn't far off what Sheff Utd's full squad were paid.

The average player in league 1 and 2 is on roughly 2k a week....Rodwell is on 35x that

I do like the idea mind of sending a Newcastle XI to face their first team in pre-season to help the skint neighbours, various talk-ins, etc that wouldn't really do much other than rub in their faces how greater we are.

Aye, it would be glorious to forever remind them that we had to bail them out etc.

 

Would probably throw in a quid, but they’ll probably give me a match ticket for that.

Here's a question, and it's one I fear may become reality in the next few years given the sheer size of their debts - if Sunderland AFC were to find themselves in a position where they were reliant on a Hartlepool-style whip round to continue as a going concern, would you put a couple of quid in the bucket?

 

As deranged and bitter as a lot of their fans are, North East football is in enough of a state as it is without one of the two bigger clubs going to the wall.

 

Nope. It would potentially help non-league football in the area if some the remaining 15k or so matchgoers dispersed amongst Shields, Gateshead, Spennymoor etc.

I'm glad there's a fair few now realising that their core support is 20k. Without free Premiership tickets the true level of support has been found and this is why they are in such a mess.

Thankfully for them, some of them have the sense to call him out, but plenty liked it too, and therein lies the problem for them.

 

Protesting is a Newcastle thing.

Caring for your club is a Newcastle thing.

Trying is a Newcastle thing.

 

And because everything "mag" is bad, they settle. To look like good, tough little fans. Pathetic. Hope they enjoy being the classy club when they have no club and didn't bother trying to save it.

Typical Sunderland fans attitude "I've seen it worse, I remembering being in the North Counties league with 7 players and no kit we played with our cocks out"

 

Classic

They could be wiped from the face of the earth and I’d not lift a finger to help them. They don’t even give a fuck about their own club, why should neutrals and rival fans? They’re being run into the ground and there’s not a single murmur of protest. They’ll end up with the club they deserve, fuck them.

The reason they are in a mess is because of Ellis Short,
