With what money?

At least some in there have come out and just admitted to feeling jealous of our situation. Which is undoubtedly how most of them feel.

 

I wonder how they'll fare next year.

They could well go down again.

 

Doubt it, whoever comes up with Sheffield United and Bolton will join them as favourites for the drop.  Plus Burton, Barnsley, maybe Bristol too? Especially as it's unlikely Abraham will still be with the latter.

 

I'd be surprised if they bounced straight back, and the longer they're away from the Premier League teat the more they'll struggle, but I'd be shocked if they suffered consecutive relegations.

Have to agree, they're bad but not that bad. It'd take some catastrophic management to see them go down consecutively. Even if they did, they'd come right back again. Arguably it's better if they gradually decline rather than immediately ;)

Big thing for them is how much of an overhaul is possible. 

 

Defoe, Kone, Ndong, Pickford won't raise £55m

They're losing a ton of players as their contracts run out or they return to their parents clubs.

The ones they're left with are ageing (O'Shea), perma-crocks (Cattermole) or just shit.

 

Doesn't give them much of a core to build upon, or much money either.

 

It'll get worse if they start badly and the fans desert the ground.

Will Defoe raise anything? I thought he was on a free...

Aye, just meant without the clause he'd be one of their few saleable assets.

 

A few seem to think Ndong, Pickford will stay. The latter out of loyalty, the former because if they don't get a stupid offer they should just not sell.

 

French midfielders are famously professional if they don't get their desired move, so they may have a point...

N'Dong is shite anyway, he only looks somewhat okay because those around him are an utter joke but in reality he's a poor player. 

 

:D Complete opposite for me, think he looks shite in their midfield but woule look much better with better players. He's got a really good engine on him and does the basics well

Like a T reg transit. I cannot see them going down to the third tier of English football.Bob Stokoe isn't manager.' You can take the man out of Newcastle .........' If Moyes did though,they'd have to erect another statue alongside Stokoe's for matching his achievement.Only in makemland.

Sticking with Moyes is absolutely suicidal so I fully expect them to do it. The fans hate him, the players clearly aren't keen and they've got absolutely no positive momentum heading into next year. What a shame

 

Aye, the Sunderland fans predicting anything but midtable next season must surely only be basing it on hope and bravado?

We finished last season on a note of positivity with a big victory and the fans singing the manager's name. They've finished their last home game with a torrent of boos and the prospect of the same shit manager next season. 

 

Mid table would be an achievement for them next season.
