Varadi Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Assumptions that they should easily win promotion from the 3rd division because of how much they can spend on wages compared to other teams, would by the same logic have had them around 7th in the Premier League and promoted first time from the Championship. Aye, they still can't magic away all the overpaid shite they've got stuck on long contracts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteV Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 He’s put Eastleigh up for sale What happens if no-one buys them? Presumably he's not allowed to takeover Sunderland until he's got rid of Eastleigh? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Their new owners will have done a very impressive job if they get them promoted back to the Championship at the first attempt. It will be even more impressive if they get them challenging to get back to the Premiership in 2 seasons. They've said they are going to run the club sensibly. That means they aren't going to spend more than they bring in. Even if Sunderland fans filled the stadium every home game that's peanuts money these days. Nah, League One is shocking, they're gonna be one of the biggest clubs by far. I'd have been surprised if they weren't challenging for the title even if nothing had changed.

huss9 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 are owners allowed to simply cancel debt, and pay off debt to other creditors with their own money? #rattled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Not really Sunderland related but people have been talking about Bob Mortimer's 'Athletico Mince' in this thread, Bob is the guest on the latest Adam Buxton podcast on Spotify. Adam Buxton describes 'Athletico Mince' and says it includes "sketches and songs designed to offend the people of Sunderland.....in the North East of England". He says that bit like his listeners won't have heard of Sunderland before. I think the clue to that is in the first line of the description of the podcast, "Adam talks with British comedian Bob Mortimer." Presumably a lot of the audience is American.

Well he usually has British guests. His podcast doesn't seem to be done with Americans in mind. It's probably more to do with Adam not being interested in Football and therefore he probably doesn't think Sunderland is a well known place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every player in that league should want to play for them. They should get the best players without even having to pay over the odds. In the championship we had a bit of this.

Aye, they still can't magic away all the overpaid shite they've got stuck on long contracts Apparently they don’t count in the 60% wage cap. It’s still valid for the bottom line though.
