Personally for me Sunderland going down is more about them facing and seeing the reality of the unfairness between the lower leagues compared to the top tier.

By that i mean look at the likes of Blackpool, Coventry, Wigan, Blackburn, Wolves, along with the likes of Man City, the latter no lessons learned from their spell in L1, i seriously hope some day their bubble bursts.

I'd be saying the same thing if our Chairman spent stupid money on a new ground and players.

I welcome Sunderland and i hope they take away the unfairness they haven't seen for a few decades. The difference between £95M in tv revenue compared to what willbe £1.5M next season. I expect their attendances to remain good, so it will give some supporting foundation to what will be a financially crippling season for them...to that i say, welcome to the real world.

It is a vicious circle though, to survive in the top league you have to spend stupid amounts of money otherwise you may as well just accept relegation. You may survive for a season or 2 if you are lucky and well managed but history shows that the table usually ends up in order of money spent.

Coleman sacked and we've been bought out by a consortium led by the chairman of Eastleigh football club <cracker>

Strange they're getting taken over by a consortium led by the owner of Eastleigh Town FC.

I mean is it positive as Ellis is gone or is it more bad news?

Coleman gone is no surprise.

Not given the tools to improve but also think he's started believing his own hype when he took the job.

Damaged his standings.

Some are saying that Ellis only wiped out the debt he was owed and not the bank loan part. If this were true then the interest is meant to be quite hefty.
