RTG will be going fucking nuts at that. https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/everton-offered-£8m-for-pickford.1368176/ Yup "Pickford's value is what he is worth to us and what we would accept to let him go. Having the best goalkeeper in the championship plus the cost of replacing him if we let him go must add up to at least £40m and i'd still be trying to persuade him to stay at that." £40m.

wolfy 12 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I don't think any team's going to be desperate enough to pay way over the odds for a keeper that's plying his trade in the championship next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) I see they're now trying to say Kone, who was widely accused of refusing to play at the end of the season, was actually injured after all. It's as if painting one of their saleable assets as a grossly unprofessional shitbag was putting off suitors.

David Kelly 1117 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 If that's true there's no way they'll be getting anywhere near £30m for Pickford. If they get offered half that they'll take it gladly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4964 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 It's a bit of a read, but this article in truefaith of all places gives a really in depth critique of how screwed they are. http://www.true-faith.co.uk/financial-fair-play/ Sounds as though the issue isn't so much whether or not they have money, but that they've fucked themselves to the point of not being able to spend anything without falling foul of FFP. If they do fall foul of it, they get points deductions. Obviously I'm no expert in this stuff, so someone like HF or ewerk would have to go over it, but it looks robust enough.

Kevin Carr's Gloves 3243 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 This is the makems take on the process of getting themselves a new manager. http://rokerreport.sbnation.com/2017/6/5/15739180/got-an-interview-for-the-sunderland-job-heres-what-you-need-to-know And here is my edit of that article With Sunderland about to enter their first season back in the Championship, after ten years of hanging onto Premier league status like a tagnut on a hairy arse, Sunderland are finally back where they truly belong. However due to horrific mis-management they are actually in danger of slipping even further down the leagues which is something their great rivals Newcastle United have never done. Whilst in the recent past all a manager had to do was come to Sunderland at around October time (usually just before they played Newcastle) and get just enough out of the team to avoid relegation by the skin of their teeth before sliding off into managerial obscurity. This time the new manager actually has to try and build something positive and get something approaching a strategy to work before the inbred fans get ideas above their station and call for them to be sacked. We're all fully aware now of the issues that the club faces going forward. Despite every man and his dog being able to see what was going on at Sunderland (including blind men on extremely speedy motorbikes) the fans of the club managed to totally delude themselves that all it would take is a tweak here and there to get them to be challenging for European places. However even these notoriously thick fans now realise (well a few of them do) just how deep in the shit they actually are. Just in case you are unaware of the litany of issues the new manager of Sunderland will contend with going forward, they are, in no particular order: Like many of the managers before you, you will most likely not be allowed to bring in any of your own coaching staff. Perhaps not even an assistant - we have a coaching structure already in place that the last three managers have had to work with, and I suspect that you will be no different. Despite the fact that the coaching structure has proven to be utter dogshit The club's debt levels are swollen, and our wage bill is frighteningly high - even for a Premier League club. It's more than likely that you will have stand idly by as key players are sold without your full consent, and from the day you walk through the door one of your main objectives will be in assisting our chief executive in re-balancing the expenditure on wages. Also you will be totally blamed by deluded fans if you don’t manage to sell your players for record breaking fees. Your budget will be incredibly slim, not on par with the majority of the top teams in the division. In fact your budget would look fairly slim to Hamilton Academicals. You will inherit a squad that is full of shit players past their prime with enormously over inflated senses of their own importance. The owner is actively seeking new buyers for the club, which he cannot find because it is so shit. Like a bloke who is trying to sell his mark III escort for a Ferrari price and is is so pissed off he can’t get it that he just abandons the car to rust so have sunderland AFC been totally abandoned by their owner. However he once wore an FTM badge so that’s alright. The one redeeming feature that Sunderland has over most of their competitors is the sheer size of the club, the facilities and the fanbase. Ten years in the Premier League is no mean feat and whilst the last five years or so have been gruelling for the supporters, still they turn out in their droves to support a team that have failed them on a consistent basis. Of course this is utterly dependant on the availability of free or extremely cheap tickets which means match day revenue is below that of a pub team. If you combine that with the whinging and twisting they do and the fact they also leave in droves on the 30 minute mark if you aren’t winning 3-0 then the Sunderland fans should actually be seen as the utter liability they actually are Regaining our trust and our love is key. This should be fairly easy because they will even forgive a sex offender if he scores against Newcastle Even taking the immense issues that our new manager will face into consideration, I urge anyone offered this role to run to the hills or join a monastery rather than take this millstone of a job. Let’s be frank the Sunderland job has been inhabited by fascists and fuckwits (sometimes the same person) it has taken winners and ground them to dust. It has sucked the life from even the nmost enthusiastic and left them feeling they would rather watch lacrosse than cross the threshold of another football club ever again. If you want to quickly earn a couple of million and don’t give a shit what it does to your reputation then this is the job for you. Do you feel up to the task?

The Fish 9158 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Well, that was entirely expected, wasn't it? I think nerves are really starting to set in. Some predicting they'll win the league, some predicting they'll get relegated, most expecting a tough season with mid-table/play-offs the aim. Stark contrast to Newcastle's relegation. There was an air of positivity, with most fans and "experts" predicting an immediate return. We already had our man in charge, and were making progress in the transfer market. When did Gayle and Ritchie sign? Late June/early July? They have no manager, no goal scorer, no money, no optimism and we saw what Moyes' blunt honesty did for their morale last season.

PaddockLad 14855 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Monk has gone to Boro apparently. Pearson was in for it too though, in their situation appointing him would be similar to us appointing Guardiola...the abosoloute pinnacle of who they could hope to get.

I still think to this day that Buxton was just a bloke walking his dog past Roker park and got offered the job as the manager who was due for an interview never turned up.

Leon 13 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 It seems to be coming in threes for some of those "MLF's".. They hated Moyes. They hated being relegated and now their new home shirt is taken straight from the popular 1980's TV show Bullseye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
