Has Rafa walked away from Everton yet?

There will always be ways for well run clubs to find success. Calm down. No one is fucked.

Success to an extent, we could never compete with Manchester City for example. It will be alot worse when they're on the doorstep.

I've heard you need to be wearing a tea towel to get through the turnstyle.

How are Sunderland fucked? We are also investing in our academy setup for the first time in years and have a promising young owner who has ambition to take the club forward.

Exactly. We will actually play our young lads. If it’s similar to Man City, they will import them in externally to loan them out for a profit.

2/3 year a go the majority of the lads weren’t even Sunderland fans in the academy but we were the place to be Imo. Moving forward we probably won’t be.

There could be room for 2 good academies in the North East believe it or not.

How many players have we produced between us last 20 years?

 

[Mowgli]

What shall we do then? Wind the club up? Stop supporting? Stop going to games?

Haway, don't be silly. But those saying it won't effect us or it won't reduce our future support are living in another world.

 

[horselover]

sure I heard somewhere just before it fell through last year that they won't be throwing tonnes of money at it, and are going to run it properly. Probably the right way to go tbf

I'd say *should* next few years will be a very good time to be a dedicated youngster looking for a club.

If thats your opinion then why do you care if they get dibs on all the best youth prospects?

 

[Safc88]

Because were already absolutely shite

BREAKING news.... Tynemouth and Whitley Bay's beaches suffer from unexplained sand disappearances. Where could it all be going?

Yeah we are honestly fucked imo. Already got the winnets hanging onto shares, we are trying to be a model where we promote young players & now the mags are gonna come along and pump X number of millions into their youth teams like City did. No fucker will want to come here.

Absolute nonsense imo. We'll survive just fine.

Theyll reach the CL eventually, too many resources for them not to.

Hard to see anything else surely?

Even if they do why should it affect your enjoyment of SAFC? Who cares if the famous "mags at work" gloat, theyve been gloating for years anyway.

Couldn't agree more.

Collymore is an idiot and always has been. There's a reason he's been hated at every club he's been at. He should stick to what he's good at: Attacking lasses half his size and trying to stamp on her face IIRC.

I was just about to say if I listen to Stan Collymore am I supporting domestic abuse? The very fact that people have to come out and defend Saudi Arabia and this takeover says it all. We can't be complaining about Qatar and Russia hosting World Cups when the FA are happy to let regimes like the UAE and Saudi Arabia sportwash in our own backyard. We can't point the finger at other countries about racism and homophobia when you let countries who are racists and homophobic buy your football clubs.

I’m not saying we’ll disappear. We’ll just not be the place to be. We are treading water until Donald & Methven go regardless.
