    Shortly to come - why Lionel Messi isn't a transfer target for Sunderland.

    I've always been told the 'official' reason was potential disruption to production on match days.

    That site is where they’re currently building the new battery plant.

    The top end of football is vile : corruption and money , money, money.

    PL is a sterilised pandering to the rest of the world leauge for the wealthy that only a few can afford to be in, unfortunately the Mags are now one of them. Football is rancid, we've just had a winter world cup with a seemingly hand picked winner in an extremely wealthy country. One of the biggest stars of all time has signed for a middle Eastern country on insane money. Every season I give less of a **** about football when I used to plan stuff around it. The Championship is getting bigger with better TV audiences. Odegaard admittedly plays a great through ball the other night and the pundits sat there with their d**ks in hand pulling over it during and after the game. Some of our passing and play alone has been top quality and I'm sure other leauge teams have had games like that and it's "meh". We pay a fortune to watch football on 3 platforms meanwhile every other country get every game for peanuts a month. Football in this country is on its arse because they aren't arsed about us here. Little bit or a rant there but there you go.

    You're right they are, but not the main sponsor, which is Etihad Airways.

    Nissan did oppose us building a new ground near them on the A19 and one of the chiefs there at the time came out with a quote along the lines of "why does Sunderland need a 40000 seat stadium when the North East already has St. James park".

    Nissan aren't interested in us, they bought a small set of shares when they first opened up the car plant and that's been about it. If they were, there's been plenty of opportunities in the 30 plus years to get involved including sponsorship, ground naming rights, close season tournaments etc

    Dodged a bullet by not building the ground up there. Would have been horrific imo.

    Losing at home to Hull, no shots on target, 30% possession in front of 10,000 half interested rugby fans ...

    ... players only get twenty seasons maximum, wasting one at Wigan seems careless to me.

    Just seen a link to Clarke-Harris. Doesn’t really fit the model does he?

    Doubt it very much. Doesn't fit the profile of being young with a sell on/development value. He's 28 now and close to his prime, so will want to play week in week out, but really only proved he can score goals in league 1. The link is only on that particular site, though we've been linked to him before, mostly by Peterborough touting him, similar to how the went about things with Marcus Madison. Plus, Peterborough fans reckon he's got a poor attitude and he does seem to move around a lot.

    All in all I reckon it's nothing more than rumours and click bait
