At the moment it looks like they'd struggle in the Championship next season too

I think they will regardless. Unlike Newcastle, it seems Sunderland have always kept wage reductions in the contracts of their players in the event of relegation. With relegation now confirmed, the smartest thing they could do is give opportunities to some of the younger players and limit the amount of time for players who won't be there next season. By the looks of things, even if you take the transfers of Defoe and Pickford out of the question, and the loans for Januzaj, Denayer and Manquillo, there are several first-team players who appear to be out of contract (Pienaar, Anichebe, Lescott, Larsson, Kirchhoff, O'Shea)

[MrRaptorTurtle]

They've been dodging relegation for the past few years, about time they actually went down!

Countless shite managers struggle to get the job done, and they've brought in Moyes to finally get them across the line. Fair play.

Indeed.
Never doubted Golem for a second! Shame he couldn't have done more damage at Yernited!

Scathing article in The Guardian from Louise Taylor. Highlights include Moyes thought about resigning in the autumn, players find training old-fashioned and Moyes' tactical approach and recruitment policies being inflexible. 78% of the club's turnover goes to wages and nine senior players are out of contract. They have only made a profit on 4 of their past 47 signings.

[Statto Red]

Irony that Sunderland could have had £10 million for Defoe in January, now they'll get fuck all for him.

[surfer. Fuck you generator.]

They need to bin Moyes, even if he wants to stay. There was a good manager there but post Utd he's lost it mentally, an air of entitlement.

Having that many players out of contract is probably a good thing given how terrible their squad is.

Surprise there's no mention of borini vs moyes in that article given how public boring has been about a divide between sets of players and Moyes.

These are in deep shit 

Average ticket price - £12.18!

[Studgotelli]

Hadn't realised these were relegated well in Moyesy! Long may it continue

Another league he can embarrass himself in, bet Sunderland fans can't wait for the negative rhetoric about away trips to the likes of Burton

[cissesbeard]

things just keep getting worse for sunderland!

[classycarra]

Really happy with this. Won't be following the league closely, but reassured there will be some fun to be had when he struggles to even achieve mid table mediocrity a division down. Useless twat

[plura]

He's shite. If they were somewhat intelligent they'd get rid of him at any cost and look to get someone good in to get them quickly up again. But haha there's just one Rafa around for achievements like that. Good luck Sunderland!

[Purple Red]

Haven't had the chance to gloat over the relegation of this anti-football club yet. Moyes has successfully turned an already awful Premier League club into an absolutely abysmal one. It's an impressive feat. Yet another failure for Moyes. His decade of irrelevance at Everton is beginning to look impressive.

[surfer. Fuck you generator.]

Moyes has said he's staying next season

Ouch. They look like they need an overhaul both personnel wise and more importantly in terms of mentality, the working environment and for once we could probably mention leadership and hit the mark.

A guy who fatalistically walked them into a relegation battle in the first few weeks of the season doesn't strike you as the right sort.

Poor bastards.

Is it too early to tip them for relegation from the championship next season?

It's never too early to tip a Moyes team for mediocrity.

4th biggest debt in the league outside of Man Utd, Arsenal and Liverpool. £7m in interest payments. 78% wage to turnover ratio, second lowest cash profit in the league. £33m in losses (only Chelsea and Villa made more). They are going to be a mess next season, particularly if Pickford ends up being their biggest sale.

So Moyes and Sunderland knew about Terry getting subbed off in the 26th minute and getting a guard of honour, and agreed beforehand that they'd put the ball out of play to allow it to happen. wtf.

"He told reporters: “I think John Terry, in his own way, deserves a great send off,” said Moyes, who was presiding over his 26th league defeat of a thoroughly demoralising season. “He got that today.

“We knew it was coming, and we agreed to put the ball out. It was Diego Costa that actually asked Jordan to kick the ball out. We actually did it about 15 seconds too early, but we knew it was happening."

Fuck me.

How embarrassing for all parties concerned.

If they hadn't been relegated, I would have wanted them thrown out of the Premier League for this small time crap!

[BeautifulGame91]

Sunderland fucking deserve liquidated for that shit

[RJ320]

I bet Moyes got the shit kicked out of him in school. Comes across as such a wimp and a goody 2 shoes.

I hope these lot linger in the Championship forever.

Hardly, goody two shoes don't tell a woman he'll slap her. He's a prick who sucks up to those in power. I'm glad he got relegated, hope we won't see his gormless face again in the Prem.

Unfortunately, some lower half of the table club will always make that mistake.

Its been a decent couple of years for told you so's about people who have benefited from kind media coverage that they have enjoyed because of sucking up.
Got sick of hearing how good old Davey had performed miracles with Everton and what he'd do when he was given more resources at Utd. Now everyone can see what we - and to be fair, a fair few blues could see - a defensive, cowardly manager without his comfort blanket of poor little Everton.

And we're just approaching the anniversary of Hodgson's unmasking as another cowardly talentless twat who'd had the benefit of the doubt for far too long.

[thejbs]

We actually did it about 15 seconds too early, but we knew it was happening.

So they even fucked up the simple task of putting a ball out of play.  David Moyes is such a fucking Moyes of a man.

Next season I'd love us to twat a Fat Sam team, his smarmy grin is repulsive.

[Upinsmoke]

He's resigned.

Shite him

[newterp]

He's resigned.

Shite him

relegates and resigns - way to stick it out.

[Zizou]

Next Arsenal manager?

[CornerFlag]

About right, waste of ballbag skin that one.

[Garlicbread]

Sunderland fans on ReadyToGo forum seems pretty happy with him going.
