It's going well so far, if it's still like this in a few seasons time I might be worried but not right now. We were never going to sort the mess out in 1 season, so for what we have done and where we sit in the league - it's way above where my expectations for this season lay.
 
Obviously balancing the books etc etc
But are people enjoying the 'havent got a pot to piss in " scenario ?

Talk about selling the stadium name and changing our badge to "simplify"
It pisses me off personally just to make a few quid. Surely if Methven is as good as people say on here he wouldn't have to sell our stadium name to raise a few quid?

I'm loving the players we have brought in for next to nothing , proper trier's and what we need in this league

I'm really enjoying the footy side of it but the talk of the selling our identity is proper shite like
There's always going to be whingers in life

Don't have an issue with selling the naming rights to the stadium.
 
I'd take a billionaire who knows what they're doing with a football club (like say Monaco for example) and has an intent to work with the great guys we already have running the club, although right now with FFP it wouldn't make much difference if any.

Monaco who are currently 19th in the French league and who have admitted making massive losses since he took over? Not to mention the fact that said owner is currently under questioning for alleged corruption.

Monaco deny claims owner Dmitry Rybolovlev pocketed cash from Kylian Mbappe sale

Lucky we still have a club called Sunderland

Tv money in this league is virtually non existent and we’re still on course to make a £5 million loss this year as it is. I couldn’t give a shiny shite if someone wants to give us a few quid to call the ground Stadio Beko or something.

Every penny counts, we aren’t getting £100 million from Sky anymore.


They can call it the Sports Direct Arena for all I care...... on second thoughts ;)

I'm more than happy that we have reformatted everything.

But having watched a bit of championship footie recently I can honestly say we are a million miles from top 6 championship and premier league is a different dimension.

If we are going to build within our means then I can't see anything other than many years before we even reach Derbys level never mind premier. Even the championship seems so much faster, so much sharper.

I'm starting to like the sound of a fast track track billionaire option if I'm honest.

Not for me. I want a team to evolve, a culture a way of playing develop, some players going on the whole journey with us.
No way do I want to buy a team overnight of mercenary footballers who you can’t identify with.

Yeah in a sadistcally kind of way
 
Current Stadium name is and always has been a bit embarrassing, that’s why it gets shotrtened to the SOL. Nicked from Benfica

The something Wearside/Sunderland stadium would be better all round and we’d get a few quid
 
I suppose it’s because of the honesty in the realisation of the situation. Ain’t it nice to see “supposed lesser and inferior players” giving heart and soul for the joy and pleasure(and might I had better in my eyes) and that sense of arrived at a BIG club showing commitment.... make no bones, we loved the Kay’s and the Bally’s for this, they couldn’t it a barn door but we didn’t give a fuck, because we knew there’d kick the barn door off!!!! Onwards and upwards to some supposedly technically better freeloading parasite hey!!!
 
Aye but you are missing the point. Would you sell your identity to get 1 tiny little step up or down the ladder ?

What identity?
The badge has been changed before and when Murray announced the name for the new stadium ,people were up in arms .
Our identity is our history and the clubs magnificent support , changing the badge ,again , and selling naming rights ,isn't going to harm it .
 
I would have been totally pissed off if they renamed Roker Park, however I couldn't give 2 shits if they rename the SOL. I don't have any love for the name anyway. In fact if it brings money in to help us compete then I hope they do.
My thoughts exactly, if things like this help us keep the likes of Maja and Gooch then it's a small price to pay in reality, everyone I know just calls it ' the stadium' anyway and that wouldn't change.
