Anything other than what you've done would have been considered a failure.

You spent £50 odd million to get promoted in the Championship, how much more will it take to keep your heads above water next year?

Enjoy it while it lasts, next year might not be so much fun.


Excuse me, but we sold £80m pounds worth of players as well. We made a decent profit. Or is that not allowed?
 
Yep, at Roker. He knocked the champions sign over on to it didn't he? Smashed the lass straight off it. I've got a photo somewhere of me and my da stood with the trophy. After it was fixed though.
Aye something like that Brian.
It had to be soldered back on.
Mackemwelder, did you do this repair job?

Wrong to those saying we bought the Championship. Going off the above figures we actually bought second place.

<cheers>
 
I'm well aware of your net spend.

You spent a **** load on very average players to win the league and scraped over the line.
But that's not what you said. You insinuated we bought the league. We didn't. Perhaps we should just quote what we spent and keep our sales figures in a cupboard under the stairs?

Scraped over the line? <doh> you reckon you'll scrape over the line with Ellis there?
 
We've had one less manager than you lot over the last 10 years, and look, 2 relegation to your name. <whistle>

Only have to go back a couple of years more and we both have 2 relegations which makes your stat seem far less important. You can massage statistics for your own agenda.
Both teams however have not been pulling up any trees, hopefully that will change though.
I'm not even taking the piss, I think you will come good under Moyes, what he did at Everyone couldn't have been a fluke and his record at Manchester united wasn't that bad. Man U aren't exactly competing for the league now either.
Hopefully Rafa and Moyes make both teams more than premiership relegation candidates

I didn't state the time line. It was one of your own who set the agenda and timeline, I just reponded. <laugh>

Joking aside, we've got a slow build ahead of us. It won't be quick enough for a lot of fans and certainly I don't think many will accept it may get worse before it gets better but if that's the way it has to be then that the way it has to be.

I'll be happy finishing Midtable with a better control of our debt next season. I'm grounded, seen all this coming years ago.
 
Just got back from the toon, big up to the gay Sunderland supporter who was walking around with his Sunderland shirt and scarf shouting I don't give a ****.

He's probably in the Tyne now.
