Apparently the ffp had come home to roost and Benitez would of had a little bit now and more in the summer.

I totally agree he was hoping for mid-table, so was I

Now we're getting to it?

Its conceivable that James' contract was high therefore classed as a luxury they could do without. Cost cutting, Restructure?

Selling Digne signing 3 players with the dosh?

Its all falling into place. *taps temple amd walks away whistling.....

With hindsight you are seeing that, but I genuinely didn’t expect Benitez to fall out with players before the season even started, there was no way Ancelotti was cost cutting, restructuring etc, so Moshiri must of changed plans when he changed manager.

Anyway, Big Frank’s here now and the future is bright.

I've been sat on this weeks. Its akin to the Allegra Stratton scoop???

Sunderland have sacked their manager after losing 6-0 yesterday!
Rumours up here they’ve approached Duncan Ferguson

Being in seaham you will know more Mackems than me. I know they have had a little wobble but this seems a little knee jerk. What are their thoughts? Sunderland are going through more managers than we are ?. I thought Johnson had stabilised the club and was doing a solid job but I'm not watching them play.

It’s the same old story, 2 steps forward, 1 step back, battered 6-0 but had more possession etc and then Johnson blamed covid jab for players missing games.
Never his fault etc.
Got them playing great football, battering teams, then results like saturday.

3rd in the table. Unlikely to gain automatic promotion but play off place almost guaranteed. 30000 gates and fantastic fans. Unbelievable decision

Talking to the lads yesterday, including 1 who was at Bolton, they were very much split on Johnson before the sacking, the way they’ve played at times they feel they should be well clear at the top and it’s his fault they aren’t.?‍

That’s the state of football these days - managers don’t get much time , only takes c couple of defeats in a short period and the fans are demanding a change , I’m not sure when it started with managers being sacked so often but some clubs will never get stable with demands to sack the manager anytime there is a sticky patch

Sacking a manager because they are only third is a joke - looking at his record it’s very good at Sunderland and won them a trophy last year.

A revolving door of managers very rarely provides success - Chelsea are the only club who get some sort of success

Such high praise for the most successful club of the last 20 years ???

not wrong though, is it

No it's not. Chelsea's revolving door manager policy has produced huge success.

Hey, it probably took 2 days to film all the different angles, add filters etc. Definitely mean and moody .

Is anyone slower than Rondon? Not sure that is possible.

7 hours to get signings in Frank, get to work.

Seems to be doing well enough for his country - at least in 1 game.

International Football seems to be played at a much more measured pace than Prem League - at least to me.

I think he would be ideal in walking football .

To be fair, his touch and hold up play is excellent but at this point in his career the PL is simply too fast for him. Hopefully we can move him on in the summer to a league better suited. I can't see him getting much game time under Super Frankie

I do think 'international quality' is a myth personally. Scoring in the Premier League is definitely harder than scoring against, Bolivia, Trinidad, Panama, etc. Not to say Rondon himself hasn't been a decent player at times in his career, but possibly a bit past it now for the top flight. Seems to have done his best work over the years in Russia and China rather than anywhere decent.
