[Football] Sunderland....

[sir albion]

As good as gone now and to be honest they need to start rebuilding again and league 1 isn't the end of the world to do so.
Never known a club to play such dull defensive football year after year after year

Gotta feel for those loyal supporters watching that tripe of negativity and getting the odd rare home win

I might shed a tear, had I a small onion handy.....

Coleman must be regretting leaving the Wales job to join this basket case of a club but his bank balance has probably improved somewhat.

Expensive lesson to American owner Ellis Short. All told with the cost of buying the club, then subsidising years of crap, he's pumped in £100m's. Now he's to sell the club for peanuts to a consortium.

KP might be interested.

And still have to pay Jack Rodwell's wages

What a mess this great club has become

He totally chose the wrong job – if he'd waited a few weeks (or even months) he probably could have picked up a role somewhere far better.

Coleman and Pardew - now what's the link there? [emoji23]

 

[Renegade1]

So relegated teams automatically go back up and promoted teams automatically go back down.Really?

 

[Insel affe]

Bothered......

At least Gus kept them up ������

I told a Sunderland-supporting friend of mine they'd struggle. He never believed me.

Coleman is a bog standard manager, certainly not as good as he thinks he is

More chaos at the Mackems then; he's nuts.

They may well make it back to the championship but that does not guarantee a revival of form. Just look at Bolton.

A shame for such a big club

No comparison. Sunderland are still receiving parachute payments & have an expensive squad on high wages......Rodwell's wages alone would pay the majority of the Bolton wage bill.

Bolton have a squad made up entirely of free transfers & loanees, were under a transfer embargo last season & had a wages cap added to that last summer. Getting promoted last season was a miracle & just staying up this season would match that achievement !!

 

[WATFORD zero]

So Gus managed to sign Rodwell while he was there on a 5 year 18M contract on top of his 10M fee. Maybe that was the type of ceiling he was looking for

 

[Weststander]

Birmingham are minutes away from winning at Bolton, which would leave the Mackems almost doomed.



Chris Colman, a hero in summer 2016, will be managing in League One.
