If he was at Burnley or Southampton he wouldn’t stand out as special. Think of the shirt sales and his social media presence and likes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its about time they had a few years without winning things after all the years dominating! This is the first hardship, if you can even call it that, that some fans of theirs will have ever experienced. They have literally spent a billion on transfers since the glazers have come in. They have no idea what hardship is. Thry should try talking to some bury fans 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone are they days where they can cherry pick the talents at will from clubs like Villa, Everton and Spurs. They have to be cleverer but clearly aren’t. They have dozens of scouts who are either useless or being ignored. They need a proper person in charge of transfer who knows how to do deals on the right type of players in 2020. If they wanted Grealish and/or Sancho then they needed to buy them 1.5-2 years ago or be willing to pay over the odds now. They do neither.

AJ Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 The season which Sunderland were relegated from the Championship, many had actually tipped them to go straight back up again. They were a big club for the Championship, and they had many chances to stop the rot and avoid the drop, but they floundered and crashed all the way to League 1. Manchester United relegated? Highly unlikely, but I wouldn't write off that idea. This is football, so anything is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With McGinn you’d be unlucky not to see him do something great every game Ferguson saw through him a long time ago, was a reason he put little effort to keep him. Pogba looked brilliant for Juventus and France because he had Pirlo, Vidal, Marchisio, Kante and Matuidi carrying him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the best thing about Woodward, he's too good at his day job for them to sack him and he's too bad at his moonlighting as a football director for them to do anything good They're killing, or already killed football with all their greed and partnerships and now they're slowly killing themselves with it too Its brilliant to watch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was the faintest sniff of it by January they’ll pull a £100m player in. I think the current side with Ole at wheel will still be top 8, maybe top 6.

There seems to be something in common with big clubs going bad, and that is poor club management. Not just with Sunderland, but also what happened with us under Lerner. The seasons before going down, it was pretty much band aids over broken bones while we circled the drain before eventually going down. As I said, it is highly unlikely that they will be relegated, but it would be absolutely hairyarse if they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 It would be hilarious just for the meme potential but I think it would be similar to when Juve were done for match fixing. Probably keep most of the squad and crush the championship and not have that much long term damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
