It's both the bare minimum and the loftiest aim.

In the 14 years prior to Ashley's purchase we spent 8 years in European competition (9 if you count Cup winners Cup, more if you count the Intertwobob), 8 top half finishes. Our lowest finish was 14th, our average points return was 59. Under Ashley our lowest PL finish is 18th, our average PL points return is 44 and we've been relegated twice. We're willfully standing still or declining while other clubs pass us by.

In Ashley's time, Brighton have climbed from 18th in League 1 to the Premier League, Leicester have gone from League 1 to consistent top half finishes in the top tier, Leeds certainly have similar ambitions.

And given both those players' injury record, wouldn't it make sense to bring in some back up? There's plenty of room in the wage budget to accommodate a sub striker/attacking mid, now that we've got rid of Muto, Lejeune, Carroll, Saivet et al. We didn't because Ashley's gambling on us having enough to stay up again.

Oh, by the way, ASM hasn't missed a minute of the Premier League this season.

History? How far back are we going? 14 years before Ashley? All time football league history?
And you were lucky not to go to the f***ing wall man :lol:
 
No, anyone on here can dig up posts , dig up the one i made saying i would never return to the sol and why, you all seem to conveniently miss that 1 out , thanks, oh, and i do what i want tbh
You pathetic little man. That’s just embarrassing. Crawl back under your stone.
 
That's just not true, but it doesn't bother me enough to argue it.

The only thing we categorically know about PiF came from the only thing they have ever said on the matter. Which is that purchasing Newcastle was no longer financially viable.

They also said the process was taking too long, but given they were the ones delaying it....


Even the lawyer for Newcastle used the word "may" when discussing the Saudi bid.

I'm not a gambling man but if i had to bet, I'd go with what the Saudis themselves said.
 
You really puzzle me.

You spend hours, days, weeks and now years trying desperately to prove that Ashley hasn't invested, has no ambition for the club and no respect for the supporters.

Yeah, we know, he's made that totally clear and it won't change.

So, seriously, what's your point?
Hours, weeks and now years Sunderland fans have been denying all that.
@The Fish has made his point and he is correct.
 
FIsH is CoRrECt

You must be equally as boring reading all that shite.
It took about 4 or 5 seconds to read that post you are on about, are you not able to concentrate that long ?
I don't think reading a post that takes 4 or 5 seconds to read makes you a boring person.
It would take longer to post a reply with capitals and small letters like you just did.
That, however is just pathetic and not boring.
I agree with what the fish fella said, it's not that big of a deal. Get over it.

You'd have to be seriously naive to miss the fact that we do that simply to wind up Mags who come on here.

Haway man, Ashley has given an interview to say he won't spend money on the club or try to compete.

The Fish just keeps repeating that and we keep laughing.

This is coming up to midnight on a Friday and you're here, think about it.

I think I am a bit naive when it comes to the hatred if I'm honest.
I just can not hate people who live a few miles up the road from me and who i know so many of them.
 
The arbitration wouldn't even be being explored if they weren't interested still. Would be stupid to waste the time and funds otherwise.

They are still there - whether that matters in the long run, I doubt.
Who’s time and funds? It’s not the Saudis. It’s Ashley wanting compo and Stavely fucked over loaning 20m.
 
Why would you hate them?

Funny as fuck man love having them as our rivals even though leagues apart at the minute still live rent free.
I don't hate them, I can't hate anyone just for being a fan of another club
But the hatred in this thread is terrible. I just can't understand it.

Aye a lot of sad knackers in this thread but still wouldn't hate them.

Would laugh and pity them.
