Tommy Watson ( ...off to Brighton)

Oh aye. Let's just sit and praise Ellis Short shall we?

The man who watched over the club fall to the 3rd tier and consecutive relegations, while also in receipt of parachute payments.

The man who then sold the club to Donald and Methven and allowed the clubs parachute payments to be used towards the purchase.

What a f*cking hero :rolleyes:

Short was a disaster here. But he spent money on any old shite so some supporters were over the moon.

What's with this food chain crap?

We're currently 24th in the food chain, does this mean we can just go and sign any player we want from the food chain from 25 and below?🤔

Load of f***ing crap.

We sell all our brightest talent to bigger clubs like Ipswich, Brighton, and Southampton.
Know your place Sunderland.

They've been in the Prem for 8 years and are knocking on the door of the Champions League. Of course they're higher in the food chain, the same way that we could grab Connor Wickham from Ipswich when we were established in the Prem or even Jobe from Birmingham.

He funded the club’s longest stay in the top-
flight in my lifetime, I very much doubt anyone else will do that again.

Left us high and dry when he decided the cash had dried up. Then sold us to the biggest chancers he could have.

Can’t stand the bloke. We’re only just recovering from it now thanks to KLD!!

He'll not be going full tilt for a club he no longer has a future at.

It's more plausible that Brighton asked for his game time to be restricted as part of the deal, considering he's just come back from a long term I jury and they'll want to protect their 10m investment.

Most players go full tilt for clubs they have no future with all the time. It's called being on loan.

Why on earth should we be happy for someone leaving to sign for Brighton whilst we're pushing for the PL and potentially being in a position to offer him a decent contract in the summer?

He's played a few games and gone at the first opportunity. Although I don't blame kids being attracted by the big money on offer.

Hopefully we see very little of him before the season is out though.

And brighton's owner pumped half a billion into the club. They made huge losses getting to where they are now.

Not sure that anybody is "happy" about losing him. But if the player won't extend his contract then it's the right thing to do. And the deal seems good to me, given the contract situation.

Let's just go and take Middlesbrough and Birminghams best players right now, after all we're higher in the food chain.🤔

Incidentally where do European clubs like let's say Strasbourg, Celta Vigo and Union Berlin sit in the food chain stakes?

Not sure what Brighton see in him. Hes terrible defensively which is a requirement of the modern attacking wide player. Body language always looks negative and is weak as piss. One player I’m really not bothered about leaving, especially for £10m. I’d rather give the likes of Aleksic a go for the rest of the season.

The way I look at it 10m if we go up is peanuts but if we’re still in the championship then it’s a decent budget… looks like we are budgeting to not go up

He's a Sunderland lad it wouldn't look good to brighton if he became half arsed, if we had other proper options as back up mundle no but the other options are le fee who we need central and Aleksic who he won't use

What's harte got to do with it
