Sunderland will have full parachute money next season

 

Dependant on who is still on a big contract whilst not playing (Roswell etc), they should have the biggest budget to go at by far in league 1

 

On paper they walk it, 100+ points

Exactly, £34mill parachute payment next season for Sunderland that’s one promotion place gone!

Does anybody think we could claim one

Morais for ameobi

 

Other than that, why the fcuk not

Probably our best team on paper but looks like quite a few of those players don’t want to play for Parky again, Vela, Wheater,Little,

I’d have Morais instead of Noone

I read somewhere today that the new owner is worth £8m

 

Jack Rodwell probably isn’t far behind and apparently his contract goes down significantly....to just £44k per week next season

 

You sure they have money?

Even if they don’t have money their crowds will give them the biggest budget in that league. They will go down with some decent players too. Like we did last time. Decent for that level at least.

They’ll need big budget to cover the big contracts.

They will offload some and the parachute will cover the rest. They are a mess. But I’d rather be in their position than ours.

Morais for Vela and Ameobi playing off ALF

 

Most of the first half yesterday Ameobi ran his socks off after Taylor lost every tackle - plus he can turn a game

Eh? Who will take their collection of failures on Premier League wages off their hands? And why didn't they take ours of us?

I suppose in theory and based on budgets they shouldn’t have gone downhill this season so you never know

Sunderland are fooked!

I’m not sure Sunderland fans would agree with your assesment.

Not now. But that league is shite. We’ve seen it. I will be surprised if they don’t walk it. Unless their new owners are clueless and appoint a poor manager. But the fact they’ve potted the fraud Coleman already suggests to me they aren’t clueless entirely.

You don’t go from relegation fodder to winning the league just by dropping down. There is something seriously wrong at Sunderland. I think they will struggle

I’d say we were worse 2 years back and we got automatic promotion

 

League 1 really is very poor standard

 

They will be able to bring the best players in of anyone at that level, as long as they appoint the right manager they should breeze through

We have a case of the other mans grass is greener here.

 

Sunderland have gone down because they are shit.

Nothing to say the new owner(s) aren’t going to jack it in within a few weeks, and it’ll be a big ask for any new manager to go there.

We went from relegation fodder, worse than Sunderland are now, to second. So I don't see why not...

Sunderland’s record is far worse than ours was

Only saying it’s greener as they will be turning over £50m - £60m next year

 

Last season we were working off £15m and had one of, if not the biggest budget in the league

 

We were also under embargo, up in the high court, saddled with debt. Sunderland don’t have any of that after the deal that was done recently

 

We also finished on 30points when we went down, they are on 34 so you can argue that they are going down with a marginally better team than we had

 

Gone are the days of relatively big clubs dropping down to League 1 then struggling. Blackburn and Wigan have stormed it this year, we came straight back last time, Wolves and Bristol before that walked the thing

 

Sunderland should be done by Easter next season

Not sure ken should be washing his grundies in public; though I suppose it's possible that they've had a full exchange of views and afterwards ken has said "I'll put out a statement saying we'll play an attacking line up" to PP. Forewarning him so to speak.

An attempt to rally fans.

Whatever the situation the human Van den Graaff generator has brought it on himself; so negative.

We have a case of the other mans grass is greener here.

Whereas Bolton are second from bottom because...?

 Sunderland should be done by Easter next season

 

but Easter Sunday is 21st April next year.

Great news; my Birthday is on a bank holiday!

Because this season we are less shit than Sunderland.

 

What’s the point in worrying about next season? This one hasn’t even finished.

 

Morais for ameobi

Morais was amongst the worst on Saturday which was an achievement

Exactly, £34mill parachute payment next season for Sunderland that’s one promotion place gone!

They are getting parachute payments now plus tv money for championship and are losing £500k per week.

 

Their takeover like ours will need to be ratified. If they can not present a business model that shows how they cover debts pretty sure they will end up in an embargo like we did.
