    More Sunderland fans moved away than there are locally?

    They're all in the same league as Sunderland and will feel the season has been wasted.

    Fulwell End was the home end.

    The North Stand is now where the away fans go.

    The South Stand in now regarded as 'the singing end' and home end.

    Or am I wrong, anyone?

    I think they're the very late arrivals at the billionaire's party. When Man City got their 'blow everyone out of the water' money there were only two or three teams could even try to compete with them for several years. Now there's six or seven for Newcastle to compete with and they're already years behind. Teams with money and a more attractive history.

    Aye. But some people behave rationally and respectfully.

    You're quite correct

    However the Saudis are used to finding ways around rules ...

    ... remember they used debts and favours owed by Boris Johnson to force the sale through in the first place.

    And they're now, from being a regular relegation fighting outfit, a club with, already, a CL campaign and a major Cup Final.

    I was told, by someone on Ashley's legal team, to forget any notion of rivalry.

    At the recent derby I felt like 100 years of history had been thrown away.

    Has there been any names linked with the job, or are we just waiting till the end of the season? Whoever it is needs to be be allowed to bring in a few of his coaching staff or we’ll just be in the same point next year.

    Anyone turning their back of the club cos of the Mags game is not right in head. And if we were winning, playing well and had a competent and vibrant manager nobody would give a **** about it.

    If I was forced to make a guess I'd say ...


    ... we're interviewing available people now, asking other clubs for permission to talk to employed managers and speaking to possible advisors, like Roy Keane,who might recommend suitable managers. There's no chance Dodds will be given the job or would be moved on.

    Negotiations are complicated and can't be done in a few short weeks unless you're absolutely desperate ...

    ... thankfully, we're not.

    Hope not. If we want advice on the next appointment why not talk to someone who's had success this decade? I'd be so against this.

    He'd be able to advise on Rooney, OGS, etc and act as a go-between ...

    ... not saying it's him though.

    Like I said, if we want advice we need to get advice from people who actually know what it takes to win in modern football.

    Nothing on companies house, which is where it will have to be registered.

    That's not to say it isn't going to or has happened in the past day or so

    I wouldnt take advice from someone like him in a million years frankly. I would like to think if they want advice they go to folk much more clued up. If bridges arent burned Mowbray would be a brilliant sounding board.
