Double Drop - turkeydinner - 25-04-2018
Ive followed Sunderland`s fall with great interest
Big club, great stadium, passionate fans but poor running of the club with various factors saw them finally relegated from the EPL
Now the double drop has happened, Hull were also lucky somewhat
The Jack Rodwell case is a massive caution to any team perhaps outside the top 6-7 in the EPL , how many groundsmen, staff, kit people are losing their jobs because of this?
Vultures are certainly looking at Sunderland`s assets Honeyman, Gooch, Watmore, Asoro with the club is so much debt and be truthful they wont get much nor for those big names out on loan Lens, Khaziri, Borini etc a few out of contract like O`Shea, Kazenga and Wilson will free up a bit
On the pitch side, the Goalkeepers used this year have been nothing but awful, defensive errors I think read to a massive loss percentage but defenders never feel good without a decent goalie
Lewis Grabban was banging the goals in, he is pretty awful as Villa fans will now testify-Simply Sunderland did not score enough goals in the EPL and you need someone who scores, Anichebe worked hard yes but Defoe was the only one scoring. They get relegated and never found a scorer or looked to buy one, brought someone in on loan who didn't want to play for them and thus no strikers or strike options to keep them up.
Money will be even tighter next year, if they have any anywhere they need to undercover Eric Gates and Marco Gabbiadini pretty quick !

Possibility of three demotions on the bounce, not exactly a sellable club with debts of 147 million

Definitely, I see a Coventry City situation happening
The "Assets" will bring in 10M max the lot
None of those currently out on loan (Khaziri doing wonders) will get more than 5m for
