"6 in a rerrrrrrrrrr FTM!"

:D

 

Ellis Short:

 

"Like any supporter, my initial reaction is one of sadness, disappointment, anger and frustration. After 10 consecutive seasons as a top-flight club, the second longest in our 138-year history, it is hard for everyone to take."

 

"It is an especially cruel blow for our supporters, who have shown tremendous faith in the club. They backed the team, home and away, in huge numbers throughout the season and it is fair to say this season they have once again been relentless in their support. I am truly sorry that we have not been able to retain our top-flight status for them."

 

"I acknowledge that during my ownership mistakes have been made, particularly in the area of player recruitment, and as a result we have found ourselves struggling to survive in recent seasons. We had massive disruption during the summer transfer window and an unprecedented number of injuries throughout the season. These are difficulties which we have been unable to overcome and we are paying the price for that now."

 

"We need to improve, both on and off the field, and despite the bitter disappointment of today there is a strong determination to do so throughout the club. There is significant work to be done over the summer and when the season is concluded, we intend to share our plans to move forward with our supporters."

Even when a big event like them getting relegated happens they aren't even on MOTD first. Beaten by a 0-0. :lol:

If they show mackems getting relegated first it spoils the Hull result by telling us they didn't get beat so they had to show this one first

We spent heavily & got the right players in - oh and our manager is Rafa Benitez, not David Moyes.

 

They've got no players worth selling - apart from Pickford who is decent but they won't get half of what the fans are expecting. Also they've got no money and a shitload of debt.

 

 

Hope they suffer tbh.

It's ok, Tom, they'll be the Man U of the championship according to someone on RTG. Another reckons their natural position is top half of the PL. Some, however, are asking burning questions like 'how do I cancel a season ticket card?' A few of them are realistic as well tbf.

All this is what has kept the likes of Leeds,Sheffield Weds and Forest out of the PL for a couple of decades. That's what they're looking at ....with any luck :lol:

Even spending heavily doesn't guarantee success, just look at Villa. We were very lucky Rafa stayed and put a squad together to get us back up, he found the perfect blend that was needed for the job. Nothing about them tells me they will do it, the club is in disarray :lol:

 

 

Had to laugh at this BTW:

All Moyes has done is get past it players from his old clubs and were nowhere near good enough for the Premiership in their prime never mind now. I dont think he's going to miraculously change his dealings whilst in the Championship with a smaller budget and now a smaller stature of club since they've dropped a league. They're probably squad wise in a worse state than Villa last year and they spent a ton of money just to to finish mid-table in the Championship.

Even one look at Norwich tells you that it's a tough league to get out of, they were favourites to win the league earlier in the season but they struggled big time, the fixtures come thick and fast and if you have a drop in form you can quickly lose 4 or 5 games on the bounce.

They need a big, unifying character to come in as manager and do something similar to what Rafa did here, I reckon. They're in total disarray from top to bottom and any connection with the fans is probably long gone. Moyes has shown that he can't do it and I've got absolutely no idea who they could find that would have that effect. Considering we were fortunate to get Rafa (and even more fortunate to get him to stay), we're also a much more attractive proposition to tempt someone like that. I wouldn't touch Sunderland with a barge pole atm, they're a shambles.
