BlessManchester Liverpool and Birmingham are shit holes, so apart from London, I can't see location playing the major part in players not wanting to come here.
I would argue you all have no clue what a winter is like sitting here in Minneapolis, MN USA!!!!!![]()

Gardner lived in Jesmond.I doubt many of our players would live in central Newcastle mate, what about the likes of Ponteland ect.

I remember Kevin Phillips saying he didn't even know sunderland had a beachThe trouble with this country in general is that most things are London centralised. Because we are so far away from it, people may take a negative view on the NE.
In terms of media representation and the city centre, we are even behind Newcastle.
But players should look at more factors than simply where a club is located. I still think we have more things going for us than a lot of other clubs in the bottom half.

Agreed mate, apart from London, everywhere is much the same when you've a few million in the bank.Exactly. That's the mentality of some Southerners.
They aren't known for their brains but I doubt footballers will base it solely on location. Money will be the biggest pull for starters.

But Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham are not shit holes, they have all the trapping that we only come close to in this region in Newcastle and possibly Durham. I am not saying this as a an insult but more of a challenge to the "city fathers" to get their figure our the orifices and make Sunderland a city to be proud of not a depressing embarrassment!Manchester Liverpool and Birmingham are shit holes, so apart from London, I can't see location playing the major part in players not wanting to come here.

Liverpool is a far superior city in terms of it's centre and as a club they are one of the big boys.whats wrong with plying your trade at SOL or AOL then living outside of Sunderland - Newcastle is only up the road and nobody condems that place. There is nothing wrong with Sunderland anyway but we seem to have an apologetic response or inferiority complex when describing the city and surrounds. No difference to Leeds or Liverpool and superior to Hull FFS!
They could vote for the tories, who have played a big part in deliberately running Sunderland and the north east as a whole, down.Exactly this
Yet, I can remember them in the old Second Division, then Bill Shankley came along, spent some money on some good players and they have gone from where they were to being a household name. Only in extreme case (City) could that happen today though. Sunderland snubbed Shankley by the way.They could vote for the tories, who have played a big part in deliberately running Sunderland and the north east as a whole, down.
Moves are afoot to use a company to do that, I believe it's the one that regenerated Granger Town in Newcastle, did a good job!But Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham are not shit holes, they have all the trapping that we only come close to in this region in Newcastle and possibly Durham.

It was the Blair labour government that did for Sunderland, killed the city single handedlyThey could vote for the tories, who have played a big part in deliberately running Sunderland and the north east as a whole, down.
