Spot on as there's too many emotional negative posts at the moment. In reality we will scrape up this year and ready for a fight at the the top end next season. Yes I feel really down even listening to Beat Surrender not helping but we will recover. Anyway JCS played OK and King Charlie had a traumatic introduction to life at Sunderland. No more wantaways in our team though we need solid composed focused team players
One of the things that really pisses me off is if we are relegated a lot of these arse hole players will just move to another team , I cannot do that
No they won't. They'll be hanging around to pick up their extortionate wages and preventing us from signing anyone good enough/interested enough to get us promoted.
I agree Rooch there is more to life than the Premier League, However....Given our history, our Stadium our fan base and training facilities I would have thought if not Premier league than a decent shot at promotion from the Championship is a minimum. Can't ever remember being more disillusioned with Sunderland and football in general...its like they have kicked out the enjoyment of being a football fan. Thanks Ellis
Agree entirely with that mate its broke me from being a fanatic to couldn't give a toss but I don't entirely blame Ellis just the Premier in general it has ruined the game in the last 10 years. people say they love the prem but my best league seasons have been the second half of Adamsons reign all the promotion pushes and two half seasons under Reid not much of a return for nearly 60 years of supporting the buggers.
I’m on about us Not other clubs that may and cannot play in the premiership. The premiership is the only place for sunderland.
But why have these promotion pushes if your not bothered about the premier league. The premier league is the best place to play your football And I want us part of it. If we are not good enoug yes strive to get there But once there we must stay there
Totally agree Vince. Everything else is meaningless. The game has changed and we're not keeping up with it. Instead we're going backwards. In 20/30 years time there may not even be 4 professional leagues the way money is being distributed within the game. We need to be back with the elite. It's vital to the long term future of the club. Unfortunately I don't see that happening for another 5 to 10 years now.
Trouble is, that's what we do too often - hope. But why change a broken record. We know we'll survive even if it's only due to our fantastic fanbase and with Coleman's input We should think how lucky it was he came here and get behind him and Baines who seems to me tobe doing an OK job in horrendously difficult circumstances. Short thrift indeed. Also not happy about going for administration and certain relegation - no no no no way. With positivity and hope Sunderland will be challenging for the Premiership next season.
As things stand....No Chance, However, If someone in China, Middle East or some ridiculously rich person elsewhere decides we have enough potential to take a punt on...Then yes in a few short years we will be back, failing that, we become another Portsmouth.
That's it it's a different game outside the Premiership from refereeing to playing with more physicality allowed and used. We are not a championship club but we need to prove that Push on next season is our aim and I'm sure a winning run of will come shortly. Unfortunately I don't think we'll get the minimum 4points from Hull and Brum though. After this we'll progress EDIT That's what Sunderland do
