Great days, Parky, great days

You get the sense he dismisses it altogether though. Probably on the basis Shanks/Jock Stein didn't need this nampy pamby bollocks.

He's old school. Like a dinosaur.

Utterly useless and destructive manager. As everyone except Shepherd expected.

Well said, sir

He seems like a nice bloke from what I've seen of him on telly

Souness mainly seems to bang on about what he wasn't responsible for. So what did he actually do? When you take away transfers, team prep and match prep/tactics, what's left? Dancing & vibes?

He's pretty much injured all the time

I think this is a non-starter. Rafa has repeatedly said he's only interested in players who work hard for the group. I dont think that applies to HBA for all his undoubted gifts.

I agree, I'd be surprised if the FA can deduct points for what will likely be an arguable tax position, rather than out and out wrongdoing, if it comes to anything at all. All I've read so far is that the HMRC has seized documents and computers, the club might not even be the target of their investigation. As far as the deal goes, it shouldn't derail anything.... I expect the current owner will simply indemnify the new owners against any losses arising from the tax investigation.

Looks mad tbh. Good fit for nufc therefore

I've never heard anyone say anything good about Sunderland as a place. That includes people from Sunderland.

If this lot is serious, they should check all of the club's contracts. Ashley showed at Rangers what a cunt he is at stitching up onerous contracts that robbed the club of much needed revenue. He needs to be completely gone, the greedy oaf.

That place should be called Retardy To Go

That can't be safe. It's like jenga scaffolding

If I was Rafa, I'd leave unless Ashley sells the club. He needed a prolific striker and he got Joselu instead. Two fingers to you, Benitez!

I think their main problem is they're used to losing. With low morale. And the poor squad, with no-one to lead the line. And the shite manager. And the lack of investment. And their shocking home record. And the players' drinking culture. And their half filled stadium. Apart from that, I can't think why they struggle.....

RIP

played 10, six points. Such an easy league

Why is Ranger comparing himself to professional footballers?

Goodbye Krul world

Absolutely. It's not like we were completely wrong or anything

Yep, Rafa's the winner from this

What went wrong in 2014?! Appalling overlap with expiring contracts....
