djamfisher Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 was some diabolical performances that season as bad as under McLeish at anfield, Madejski and the Valley for example I know but i think overall the fans could see progression and there was hope around the place that there could be good times ahead. Unfortunately I, and I assume many other, don't see that at the moment. I can't see it coming either, just don't rate McLeish. I hope he proves me wrong.

djamfisher Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I wonder what ridiculous wages Wayne Bridge is on at Sunderland now Haha, I bet when he signed for Man City, he thought he'd hit the height of his earning potential. Then along comes O'Neil, a match made in the taxman's dreams. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise Bridge is only on loan till the end of the season therefore is unlikely to have seen any change in his wages with Citeh still picking up some/the majority according to some media outlets of the weekly bill? The only raise Bridge will see is if he has an appearance bonus whereby he'll get the money for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Bridge is on £90k/week as West Ham had to pick up the tab when he went there. I'd reckon Sunderland might be paying a third of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I think the Madejski game is excusable because Steve Sidwell turned into Messi for a day and we couldn't handle him. rumour is that how MON got interested in him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was more in reference to the fact I asume BRidge would like to get a permanent move to Sunderland. It's a bit sad to be that pedantic over a little cheeky sarcy comment. Oh well each to their own.

bose Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Martin O'Neill really is a shit manager isn't he? I mean Sunderland might be winning games and climbing the table at an incredible rate but the football is just so poor and he's too slow in the transfer market and he just signs shit players. The Sunderland fans must be furious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 but has only kept Sunderland up the table hasnt actualyl won anything yet also its not like he has league 2 players. Sunderland have a really big wage structure as it is. Except for McLean, Colback and Mignolet they have a first team that earns on averaeg about 40k a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 O'Neill has inherited a good midtable squad. An easier run on fixtures - outside of Tottenham, Chelsea and Man City (which they were lucky to win) by all accounts have faced teams who are largely expected to finish below them (minus Everton).
