Kitman

I cant say Im disappointed. Too many injuries to warrant a new contract and surely we can do better anyway

God no!

Adios amigo, its time to vete a la mierda

Welcome back Noelie

Minor Lass Fingerer I'll get me coat

They were massively lucky Defoe stayed fit this season given his age and fitness record. They'd have been down without his goals.

Charnley will count the toilet rolls and run the stationery cupboard but any significant decisions will require Ashleys approval. The question is whether he has sufficient nous and authority on footballing matters to push Ashley to get the right outcomes. I doubt it but then Ashley probably only wants a super loyal yesman anyway

Yeah good read. So many poor decisions - mclaren, coloccini, no proven striker brought in, delay on rafa etc. A useful case study in how to get relegated. The only one missing is the constant unexplained injury crisis thats dogged us for seasons now.

It's a shame that expectations are so low (at both our clubs). Tbh I think if Rafa leaves most of us on here won't give a shit about next season. Allardyce might do a good job for you but don't bank on it.....he bought some horrendous players for us and played some of the worst football I've ever seen us play, Carver included.

Silly phucker

Hes so stupid he can't work out the difference between a poster's name and the toontastic contributor rating which is based on post count. What a huckle

Just proves that Charnley is Ashleys lapdog. If he keeps his job it's because Ashley was responsible for the flawed transfer policy, poor appointments and dithering.

Chomp

I see weve been linked with Steve Bruce if Rafa departs. Thats exactly the kind of idiotic and myopic appointment we can expect from this shower of fuckwits. Please Rafa dont go!

Certainly deserve it more than us

The mackems can have their little moment in the sun, they've fuck all else to celebrate now or next season

It's nice to see how caring the club is about its employees, shortly before it lays off half of them. The players and directors should be made to say sorry to each one of them when that happens, but no doubt they will just get a text.

Charnley can short circuit the "review" of what went wrong by resigning without further delay. He won't do that because it would involve taking responsibility and being decisive.

I don't. Promoted beyond his skill set, which is checking the stationery cupboard inventory and sharpening pencils.

We deserve to go down. Fuck you Ashley and your feckless lickspittle cronies!

Haidara is never fit.

Sounds good to me

He may have kept Sunderland up but his sides play rotten football. It's some consolation that they'll have another season of hippo head's delusional bullshit to look forward to

It's a pisser but we're down because we deserve to be. We need to clear out all of the malingering useless cunts who put us in this position and start afresh. That includes Charnley, Moncur and Beardsley and the legion of overpaid wankers mascerading as footballers. I hope Benitez stays to rebuild but if he doesnt we need to find a quality replacement rather than the usual bargain bucket dropkick. The club needs wholesale reform thats obvious. Get it right now and we could bounce straight back with a cleansed squad and a better club from top to bottom. That however requires Ashley to show some vision and abandon his old ways. If not I hope the supporters call him on it and stay away from SJP.
