(I appreciate I should know all this, but I just don't remember very well) Think from memory he initially took Keane's side and then overnight sided to big Mick but could be wrong.

(I appreciate I should know all this, but I just don't remember very well) He was a senior player in the dressing room along with Steve Staunton who practically licked the FAI arse on the matter as if nothing was wrong. He also tried to be peacemaker this is the same FAI who had a womens team strike last week for similar reasons Keane made at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 When you look at sunderlands squad geez its in more of a mess than ours. Aging players, some foreigh flops ans generally average. Its going to cost them a fortune to sort their squad out in this division. And also the fact if Newcastle want better players and sell proven quality in this league (e.g ritchie, gayle) they won't sell to Sunderland. I think they are in serious trouble if they don't get taken over. Although I expect someone would come in for them. Hopefully will be a long process that drags on so we don't have to worry about them too much next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted April 11, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted April 11, 2017 Yeah I think a takeover is crucial for them. I can see one happening, and I think they will have a very similar season to what we had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they would. They would sell them to whoever offered the best deal, if that were Sunderland they would sell to them especially with them being in a lower division. As for the above transfer activity... why oh why didn't one of our ex managers take all our crap for us like Moyes has done for Everton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 It's crazy how similar to our decline theirs is after O'Neill was manager. Like us they probably should have got relegated a year or two earlier as staying in the Prem has just made things worse. Makes me even more greatful for Tony.

When Chelsea signed hm for £4m, Mourinho said he didn't even know who he was and had no say in the signing.... plays once, gets loaned out and then joins Sunderland for double the fee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
