[Statto Red]

This time last year they were a League in front of us, and now they are 2 Leagues below us.   

Fulham to thrash these useless bastards tonight, easy.

As i've said they'll be playing Accrington Stanley in the same division next season, when a year ago there was 3 divisions between them.

It might be donkeys years before we play them again.  They might do a Leeds United or a Nottingham Forest and be down in lower leagues from now till doomsday.

Or could be a new Portsmouth & end up in League 2.

Surely you'd prefer a Luton

That whole Jack Rodwell scenario is a bit of a farce. Bloke is a disgrace.

Am I correct in thinking that SAFC still pay him £40,000 a week?

70k by most accounts, and he's gone completely AWOL too...

[BrandoLFC]

It's £70k right now.  While he didn't have a relegation clause in his contract for the Championship he does have one for League One which will reduce his weekly wages to £40k which will most likely make him the highest paid L1 player.  All that for a player who hasn't won a game in what, 2 years?

[bird_lfc]

40k next year due to relegation - they’ll struggle to get rid of him!

[Caligula?]

They've suffered two relegations in a row, are in mountains of debt thanks to their owner, and the fans won't even be arsed anymore.

How long until they default and go into administration?

[BlackandWhitePaul]

Half time, Fulham 1-1 Sunderland.

Mitrovic is playing well for Fulham.

Ejaria should've had a penno & O'Shea got me £22 for gobbing off at the Ref for nothing haha

[BlackandWhitePaul]

Start of the 2nd half and the filthy mackems throw a sub on.

Fulham to win this 3-1 and will be 2nd in the League.

[BlackandWhitePaul]

Gooooooooal, get the fuck in.

Fulham 2-1 Sunderland.

Mitrovic, header, BOOM.

[Buggy Eyes Alfredo]

Gooooooooal, get the fuck in.

Fulham 2-1 Sunderland.

Mitrovic, header, BOOM.

Rock bottom two seasons on the trot.   

Rafa sent Dayrl Murphy to Forest, Sammy Ameobi to Bolton, & Mitrovic to Fulham and they all celebrated after a goal against the mackems.

great foresight from them for having a league 1 wage cut clause, as for Rodwell he’s probably been told to stay away, and seeing as they were dumb enough to give him that money he’s entitled to take it in its entirety

[thegoodfella]

There was a Guardian piece on the signings they’ve made in recent seasons and good god did they buy some useless dross. The predicament they are in can easily be understood by the fact that they became an Everton B team or worse, a Man United C team, including the manager, David Moyes.

[BlackandWhitePaul]

including the manager, David Moyes.

Didn't take the c*nt long to bail out when he took them down though huh.

[gerrardisgod]

Coleman sacked

Great move, Chris.

[rafathegaffa83]

Coleman sacked

Never understood why he went there other than for monetary reasons

[Djimi Smicer34]

Hope the experience was everything he hoped it would be when he packed in the Welsh job.

Still can't believe that he went to Sunderland expecting any more than what he's got - a first relegation on his CV and the sack in less than six months.

[BlackandWhitePaul]

Hahahahahahahahahahaha, fucking hell, hahahahahahahahahaha.

 

 

[BlackandWhitePaul]

These daft c*nts need to send for John Carver . . . . he loves telling people how he is the best manager in the world.   

[RedSince86]

Has to be one the most baffling managerial choices i have ever seen in my life time.

He must have been offered an amazing contract to take that poison chalice of a job.

Or he must be really thick to take it and not see what everyone knows that it wouldn't end well.

[Gerry Attrick]

Talk about sabotaging your own reputation. Had built up plenty of goodwill from his time at Wales, but bizarrely took one of the most difficult jobs in the Football League. Deserves what he gets from here on.

[Flaccido Dongingo]

Bingo, how long was his contract?

Yep. Said it at the time. This was a stupid choice. If he would have stuck with Wales and did well at another Euros, perhaps he gets a lower PL job at best or an upper Championship one at worst. His reputation will be in tatters now

[BlackandWhitePaul]

They done him a massive favour sacking him.  He's well out of that God forsaken place and a nice pay cheque.

[Djimi Smicer34]

And they've just been sold to a consortium led by Stewart Donald, who has also owned Eastleigh in the Conference.

Busy day.

[rafathegaffa83]

Bingo, how long was his contract?

It was announced as 2.5 years when he signed

[BlackandWhitePaul]

Just leaving this here so I can keep coming back to have a little snigger   

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43941723

[Redsnappa]

He must be as convinced in his own ability as Pardew is.

Bizarre that he thought there'd be any benefit from managing a club with massive debt, shit players, no money and an owner desperate to get out.

If he'd have waited a couple of weeks there were far better jobs on offer.

To sum up, he's a fucking idiot 

[spen71]

When I saw this on the BBC I thought Paul would be laughing his cock off

[Red Beret]

Don't think Coleman's reputation as a manager will take too much of a hit.  He can always claim Sunderland are effectively unmanageable as they are, which is true.

However his career judgement now has a big question mark hanging over it.

Ohh yes indeed, my cock has been laughed off several times

No career judgement involved as it was decided on money.

Sunderland were nearly doubling his wages to join them.

Wonder if they've been having words with Buvac?

I actually forgot the reason why i dislike them.
