The money they have wasted on fees and wages on really poor to average players over the years is staggering and it can’t all be down to having to overpay to attract players to Wearside. Some seriously dodgy deals went on there which I’m sure will have benefitted one or two of their former managers and certain agents massively...

 

Short got a lot of stick, but his mistakes were appointing the wrong people and allowing them to spend his money unwisely and at times outrageously which obviously came back to bite him hard as the players were either crap or didn’t care about the club becoming almost worthless and needing shot of even if it means giving them away for free.

 

Cattermole, once a hero on Wearside because he put the odd tackle in and Captained them to a few wins against the Mags is now thought of a cancer and someone who has basically took the piss for years while probably pissed himself.

 

As a fan base they need to stop putting so much faith and hope into chancers and people who really don’t justify such odd almost cult like following. They excuse everyone and create these weird and totally wrong delusions that they use to justify why a player doesn’t perform, or is always injured, never accepting the reality.

 

Even now they don’t seem to have accepted the reality of their situation and see some blokes who could be anyone talking football at the pub as saviours because they come to the club despite having no money or experience or any sign of plan to get them out of trouble other than maybe replacing pink seats, how arrogant the Mags have always seemed to them and how they won’t be taking for a ride by players and agents.

 

SAFC fans are being taken for a ride and it isn’t on a magic carpet, they are being conned by players, agents and their owners who are complete chancers who are as stupid as the fans are because they think they can rock up, slash the wage bill, recoup millions for players, appoint someone from Scotland and go up and then roll in the money.

 

They are deluded and way out of their depth :lol:

 

When they lie outside of the playoffs at Xmas and way off the pace with 10-15k crowds...

 

That’s the reality!

When a footballer thinks moving from Sunderland to Middlesbrough is a good move you know beyond any doubt that money is the only motivato

 

:lol:

 

Middlesbrough and Teesside is a much better town/city and region than Sunderland and Wearside.

 

Mind it will be a culture shock for the player leaving behind the delights and sounds of Newcastle Upon Tyne for the Boro :lol:

That's certainly debatable.

If I were to place them in a league, the town or city of Middlesbrough would be league One to sunderland’s Non League. Teesside is a much nicer region than Wearside IMO too.

 

Middlesbrough is slowly improving by the way thanks to the increasing student population and current investment.

 

I don’t know what’s happening in Sunderland investment wise, but it just seems to get grimmer every year.

Ah, man. He's started deleting tweets. What did we miss?

Thick Mackem getting destroyed by a lass for calling Japan cunts. She destroyed him but he was too dumb/classless to stop swinging.

 

Edit: deleted the stuff about eating dogs. Guy is thick as mince.

ALS: Is your biggest challenge moving on the high earners?

 

SD: Yes! Khazri’s agent came to me and said we should allow his client to leave for nothing, because he’s not a League One player! What they are trying to do is hold out as long is possible to get the vibe that we are desperate. We don’t react very well to people trying to take the Mickey out of us, therefore if we press on with our recruitment and we bring the right players in we have no need to sell them and they will remain our players. We will hold their contract and they will not play football. We are currently going through the process of trying to persuade the young players that their futures lie here. Most of the senior pros want to leave, but one or two might be surprised to find themselves staying.

 

Jack Rodwell, Lee Cattermole and Oviedo are the standout big earners and they are all on long term deals, I suspect we will only end up with one of those. The one we will struggle to move on is Lee Cattermole due to the length of his contract. If he wants to leave he can leave, we still owe £4.5m for Bryan Oviedo, so we would need a fee for him to move on. Lee Cattermole’s agent says he won’t leave a penny behind, so if he expects to move to a Championship side he has a footballing decision to make because we will not fund any of the difference in wages, why should we pay that over a long period especially when his agent (Margaret Byrne) agreed to the deal in the first place.

 

ALS: What’s Rodwell’s attitude been like?

 

SD: Rodwell has actually been very reasonable throughout the process, although we have refused him a loyalty bonus because he hasn’t been loyal. Simple as that, but he’s ready to have a very sensible conversation about his future. If we manage to move Rodwell on, we can afford to keep the likes of Wahbi Khazri and he’s a very good player. However, McNair’s agent has said that he will never ever play for Sunderland again. We turned down two offers for McNair, we had two offers from Brighton and we heard nothing from him or agent despite Paddy publically stating his desire to play in the Premier League. So, we were suspicious that they had lined up their own deal and were waiting to see what offer we would accept in order to inform the rest of the market what we would be willing to accept, therefore he could then go to a club who had bid below what they may have lined up with another club and they would get a bigger proportional cut of the fee. Paddy McNair has played very few games and has been injury prone, only one club has tried to match Middlesbrough’s valuation of him, that’s Stoke.

 

ALS: What about Kone?

 

SD: Kone has been very quiet and his agent hasn’t said anything, and we have a feeling that they are playing the long game and waiting for us to panic on transfer deadline day and accept a much lower offer. We want fees on every single player, there’s three or four that wouldn’t command a fee, but McNair said he didn’t want to play, but we haven’t had an offer that matches our valuation, so we will keep him. Naturally, his agent protested and said, ‘yeah but you’ll need to sell him.’ That’s not the case, like I said earlier it’s not going anywhere if we can generate income elsewhere which will mean he can stay here unless our valuation is met. After speaking to 75% of the squad, Jack Ross reported back that only Ethan Robson wanted to stay and after he held discussions with the other 25%, three or four more expressed a desire to stay. Each player has an individual value and we will be determined to not sell for less thank these market values. There is still a discrepancy because we still need to pay money owed on the likes of Didier Ndong, Ricky Alvarez and other signings we’ve made over the past few years and we have an agreement with Ellis thereby he will split the money with outstanding payments, 50:50. If we don’t get what is on the sheet for Ndong then we can fund the shortfall. In terms of the fit and proper persons test we were cautious on money generated in player sales but we were strong on the way we can bring costs down etc. I had to prove I had the funds to cover the running of the club even if there was no player sales and obviously I met that criteria. To be honest if we sat down in a room we probably could have done it in half a day, all of money has come from heavily regulated businesses. Regulated far tougher than any football club, it’s not like I’m a gunman from Peru! There are quite a lot of variables and we have a lot of work to do to fit our own business plan.

 

 

 

 

Fucking hell. Only just caught up on this. I presume they are all up in arms about the Don outing himself as a proven liar and bonafide gobshite a few months in his tenure?

Seems the bipolar fuckers can't make up their minds whether any given player (Honeyman, Asoro etc etc) is going to be world class or shite and best got rid of, depending on what The Don or some agent may have tweeted at any given moment  :lol:

Certainly getting a bit like 1930's Germany down there where any reasonable or moderate voice of dissent about the new regime is rounded on and silenced by the mob.
