Ashley is a twat, no doubt, but Rafa is becoming a big part of the problem. Plenty of dissenters only it doesn't fit with your lots agenda to see it.

Trivia for Sunderland fans: At match day 9 Newcastle have equalled Sunderland's worst start to a PREM season. If they don't beat Soton next game then they replace Sunderland at match day 10 with the worst start to a Prem season by anybody ever. Best they can do is match us! I feel fuckin fantastic this evening.

Newcastles issue is budget related, just like ours was for years. They can try changing managers as much as they like. If you refuse to spend the money in the premier league then you arent going to last long and it's time to move out the way for those who will.

A lot of mags struggle to appreciate they aren’t a big club. If you look at their finances, they simply don’t generate the necessary funds to challenge at the top.

You've just described about 10 to 12 clubs in the premier League tbf unless you spend at least 100 million these days.

Don't know why clubs want to try and chase that impossible dream of trying to catch the top 6

Realistically as long as you stay in the premier League then that's a bonus.

Part of me doesn't want safc to be in it

It's pointless really but its everybody's aim. I loved our last 2 seasons in the championship, but winning the league is fun, but i could imagine it starts becoming tiresome if you end up like Ipswich or Derby or Leeds. Once you're in the top flight survival is the aim, which is rubbish really.
However, at least trying your best to do well, bit of ambition and hope is good.
In 2012 when we finished 5th, 6 players left the club that summer, and only Vurnon Anita came in, this to deal with the extra games a Europa League campaign would bring. Deliberate regression imo, and lowering of expectations, which result in almost being relegated. 37th game PL status was preserved.
After being 5th, having a go again was too expensive so get back to being thankful for survival and never quite good enough to go above mid table.

It starts at the top and ruins everyone. Benitez now getting like Pardew in that after a good start he's been done in by the club and just sticking it out. Pardiola was never in danger of the sack but had an 8 year deal, Benitez lucky that his deal is up at the end of the season.
Huge and contagious lack of motivation or desire throughout the club that bring everybody down eventually
