The Interview from Ainsworth epitomises the “way it is” down the lower leagues and the pecking order that determines the destiny of players.
You simply have to let your talent go to survive and that is reality.
It is difficult to explain to your kids as to why the best players leave your club however it’s the food chain as I call it with my club not towards the top.

Replacing this is the respect you get from other fans. Not all but mainly those who actually go and who get it. I refer to the bigger clubs who basically can sign who they want. Sunderland May have temporarily fallen from grace but with 21,000 plus season tickets they simply don’t belong down here. The promising players will be attracted to Sunderland and why wouldn’t they.

I refer to respect and in my travels up and down the Country my kids have met some cracking fans of the bigger clubs. The respect shown as they actually support their club is lifting.i know the vast majority of your fans are superb as are your nearest and dearest. They get the loyalty with football which commands respect.
From Adams Park to the SOL that young lad deserves the move, a reward no doubt for the dedication. This is the type of players you should go for and appear to be doing so. There has been some depressing Saturday nights on here and reckon this season it will change. Always said you needed to bottom out and I reckon it’s one way back up now.

I've always had respect for lower league fans after spending a season watching Darlington home and away back in the nineties. I was always a sunderland fan but the vast majority of my mates were darlo and it was an excuse to go to other grounds and have a piss up on the way. It's incredibly hard supporting smaller clubs and I think your right some of our fans don't realise how big sunderland are even now in the third tier of football.
 
Don’t know whether it made it to this thread but one of his Wycombe teammates was wishing him luck at Sunderland last night.

Either way, that and this morning’s tweet seem to suggest we’ll see something later today.
 
Must admit what I've seen of this lad I really like. Yes anyone can look good on YouTube etc (I remember altidore's goals from Holland) but we could have a very good player here going from what I've seen and heard from Wycombe and their fans.
