Off Topic If Sunderland go pop

They have the parachute payments which will help. Not sure how many years they get it for and if a relegation again will stop those payments. Trev normally has his finger on that pulse.

 

Last season.

"A new formula has been worked out based on a percentage of the £93m minimum payment that the side who finishes 20th receives.

The formula will give relegated teams 55%, 45% and then 20% of that over the next three years - although teams who only spend one season in the league don’t get that final slice."

Don't think further relegation affects this money. Can't find anything either way on that point. Would have thought if applied it would have got a mention.

 

They'd start again Sunderland United or Sunderland city

 

You dont even own your own ground, let alone buying ours.

 

There will be a party and plenty of ........

 

Yours could make a good car park.

Big wide open spaces.

We could melt them pink seats down for parking cones.

 

You still use a horse and cart in consett.

 

No mate. The horses ran away when we started getting the boxing gloves out.

 

You mean your cock really.

 

No. We only bother dogs and Mackem lasses like that you thick Mackem ****. Get your facts right.

 

Ah double bluff.

Dont worry son, these thick ****ers will never suss you.

 

High six Marra.

 

This is entertaining but not as funny as the bloke walking past me who is having an argument on his mobile. He's foreign and I don't know what he's saying...maybe I will slit your throat you son of a thousand whores...but his arms are flapping wildly. And he's all on his lonesome

 

Would some of you lot actually celebrate if they went bust?

 

For 5mins maybe, but then - who would we take the piss out of?

Far better keeping them clinging to life support

 

Just wasn't sure if it was genuine or not.

When the skates were close to it, it was fun to take the piss but would never wish any club to go down the pan, not fair on the decent fans who are always the ones who suffer from the actions of ****ish owners. It's also pretty fresh in my memory as wasn't too long ago we were facing it.

I'd miss the derbies too, as like you lot we owe our neighbours a battering or two

 

Lets think about that....

Yes, lets bring the party on

 

The derbies would be a big thing for me too - even though we've been a bit crap for the last few. Need to give them something to cling on to I guess

 

Yeah I miss ours like ****... no matter how much Bournemouth try, it just won't ever be the same

Plus our last 4 were 2 draws and 2 4-1 defeats, so we owe them a hammering - I'm sure you can sympathise

 

Definitely - bit like us and Boro, means a lot to them, but it's just not the real thing....
