Mutt, must be like all your birthdays and Xmas,s put together sending the deludes down. All the better it being big Sam who relegated the barcodes after the way he was hounded out. You could not have scripted it any better. Long may they carry on being a laughing stock and now the 3rd best team in the North East. Well done Mackams.
Indeed. Fed up of taking 6 points off them each season, so I’ll gladly hand them over to the Championship. Do us a favour Latics and take 6 points off them next season!
Can’t stand Allardyce, but to be fair to him he’s done wonders to keep Sunderland up. Defoe apart, they are in the main a truly awful side, the poorest he’s taken charge of imo, but he seems to have got them going and from what I;ve read/seen, Kirchoff has hade a huge difference to them.
Their fans must be made up to send the Geordies down, but what’s happened there and at Villa should serve as a warning to them, keep playing with fire and eventually you’ll get burned. They have been utterly garbage for far too many years to keep getting away with it
You can just see the Newcastle players shining bright in the Euros rubbing even more salt in the deluded ones wounds.
To be honest I know quite a few fans of Newcastle and most of them have lost the delusion of grandeur and have come to accept that they are garbage.
Don’t think they will be back to the 16000 crowds quite just yet.Can’t stand Allardyce, but to be fair to him he’s done wonders to keep Sunderland up.

They probably are the poorest he’s managed in terms of when he got here, but the “rotten core” that have dragged the club down with their lack of ability, high wages, disrespect for management and general all-round morale-sapping attitude have now been offloaded and Sam has a summer to recruit his type of player to add to the players he brought in January.
As far as comparisons to other sides go, I believe Sunderland have a squad better than the likes of WBA, Bournemouth, Watford, Swansea and Palace (thanks for the £9m for Wickham btw :) ). Since the January window, they are in the top 10 with 26 points from 18 games. Its no co-incidence that once Fletcher, Graham, Gomez, Coates & Pantillimon were shipped out and Kirchoff, Kone & Khazri brought in, the results have improved markedly.
Sam said the other night that £100m is great, but every other club will also have that figure as a starting point, and its about how the money is spent. Now we have ditched this awful DOF model, the inept Chief Exec has gone and given Sam the control over signing his choices, not the DOF’s choices, I think that a top 10 finish with 50+ points is easily achievable next season.
They’ll go straight back up!I’m not too sure. Last time they had the likes of Joey Barton and Kevin Nolan in their promotion-winning side – players who were prepared to roll their sleeves up and get a tackle in on a rainy night in Rotherham.
It will depend on the character of their manager and whether or not he can instill some guts and determination into a highly paid, underachieving bunch. If its Nigel Pearson, then they have a chance of getting back.
Personally, I think Norwich will be the best equipped to come straight back. Villa wont be close for a long time.
