Honey Honey Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Finally flushed. 5 years in a row they failed to get 40 points in the Premier League. How will they do next season? Which players will cut it? Should Moyes stay? Are they financially in trouble? Am I enjoying this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honey Honey Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 Just now, Cure said: Ten years mate. 9 crap ones and a 10th placed finish. 23% win ratio over a decade. They would have been better off going down 5 years ago. The fans have been tortured quite cruelly and some of them seem quite happy to have a go in the Championship now. Win some games. Fight at the top. See some goals scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His hero in Defoe want's to stay in the Premier League and many of the players will just move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted April 29, 2017 Administrator Share Posted April 29, 2017 They were hanging around like a bad smell in the Premier League like Villa and Wigan were before those 2 eventually flushed as well. I don't think they'll come straight back up either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverted Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Financially, are they going to be able to spend like the higher-end championship clubs? Asking out of genuine ignorance. My uninformed impression is that if they don't reinvest the money from their pre-season squad reconstruction wisely, they could have issues for a few years.

Smiley Culture Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Moyes gets a load of stick and rightly so but Ellis Short needs a good slating as well. Under Short, I can't see them coming back for a while, more so if Moyes keeps his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toony Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 It's been coming for years, I think Moyes' position is almost untenable. The fans absolutely hate him but they could certainly do worse than sticking with him in the Championship. There'll be a hell of a lot of changes there over the summer.

Dave Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 When you look at there squad on paper you realise just how much of a clear out they're going to need. I think for that to happen Moyes should leave because the club needs someone with a different attitude to take them in another direction. Given the amount of signings needed I wouldn't be surprised if they end up competing for a top half finish and a managerial change happens along the way. There advantage could be that the big clubs may be willing to allow players like Tammy Abraham and Aaron Moy to play for Sunderland because they can get used to winning and playing in front of a big crowd every week but given that every Championship club will now want these players that may not be a guarantee.

Honey Honey Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 It could be good for the likes of Watmore, McNair, Gibson, Love and Rodwell. They're going to have to try and get a lot of money for Pickford though or they will probably have nothing to invest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I'm glad to see them go. Nothing against the club Sunderland but what they have been in the last three years in particular is something i won't miss. They will be back and hopefully they won't be the same side that went down that chimes back up. Moyes should stay no question. To restart his career he needed to properly bottom out and come back up and now he finally has the opportunity to do it. A step removed from the short termism of a bottom scraping EPL side where you can think and plan more than 6 months down the track. That club need stability not the multiple manager changes per year desperately trying to scrape a 17th placed finish. Back Moyes with a bit of cash and a couple of year contract and they'll be back up sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is huge pressure down here on Moy to find a premier league club. For better or worse I think he will be on the books of a prem team next year.

The downside is he's Manchester City's player so he will end up wherever they want him too. I wouldn't be surprised if that's Celtic but I understand why Sunderland will feel they can put forward a case to try and loan some of these players.

The only reason he would be trying to get sacked is for the payoff. By resigning he forfeits it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
