Wandy Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 They have almost to a man turned on Ross now. Thing is though, is it justified? Trying to keep a neutral stance here, looking in on them from the outside Ross seems to have done a good job in arresting a severe downward spiral. It might take them more than one season to fully reverse their decline but their baying mob are having non of it. In their eyes they think they are far to big to have to suffer more than one season in that league and this campaign should have been a stroll in the park. And they have the nerve to say we are deluded..... Ross has spent 76% of the transfer budget of the entire division. For us to have done the same in that season that we (according to them) bought the league with the biggest transfer spend ever in the Championship (not true) we'd have had to spend over £400m that season. He's failing spectacularly. Ok, when you put it like that. However... They are a club that sacks a manager at least once a season. Maybe it's time to stick with one, despite the mistakes he has made? They have still only lost twice all season, after all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribesman Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 They should have kept Maja and let him go on a free transfer at the end of the season after promotion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exiled in Texas Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Was at the game at Peterborough today, live 20 minutes from there so went with a mate. Horrendous quality, both sides were very poor, Sunderland look like a typical league 1 side which says it all, their fans seem to have embraced lower league football as well the way they carry on and with their chants, proper small time. They brought a lot of fans but inside the ground they were silent until they scored late on, few of their fans ran on the pitch and they let off some flares when they scored, was the only noise they made properly all game, was incredible when Peterborough equalised, a lot of their fans were saying how much they “hate Mackems” seems they really don’t like them as well. Was a top day out Posh-Fan-In-Peyce says that's not true. Sunderland are their third favorite team after Peterborough and Feyenord. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhoywhonder Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 When I get to work tomorrow, more than any discussion of any results, I'm most looking forward to the mackems attempting to pronounce the word Peterborough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 fewel to the flayums the netflix sub-title right there. anyone know how many pompey are bringing up? Full allocation. The RTGers were getting very angry they requested more tickets as their fans aren’t as good as theirs and are all “gyppos” and “pikeys” as they didn’t go in peace to Wembo.

mrmojorisin75 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Not sure... I thought it was just that the staged purchase payments from The Don were secured against the Marrachute payments. think geordie ahmed is right, was reported at the time marrachute payments would go to short to pay off what some of what he was owed iirc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleazy Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Pretty sure the repayments were secured against the marrachute payments, so they either cough up the installment or the marrchute does. Either way its a big wedge they need to pay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 So if these go up it will immediately cost the £4 million in wages, which they don't have, even the staunchest Sunderland fan admits the current team is not good enough for the championship so more money would to be spent to even just finish mid table. On the other hand they don't go up which means their current squad will have to be broken up with the top earners leaving because the current wage bill is the highest in the divisions history so it will make an already weak squad worse.

Guest chopey Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I'm sure I read last week that the players all get rises if they get promoted which comes to £4 million extra on what they get now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
