    He's paid too much. Move him on.

    Okay, suppose Sisu's lot do cough up a bit in terms of funding for players

    Okay, suppose Sisu's lot do cough up a bit in terms of funding for players

    Just looked into this further and the fair play rules in League 1 are based on a salary cap of 65% of turnover for next season, otherwise a transfer embargo is imposed. Basing my calculations on gate receipts alone (I accept there is other commercial revenue) and an average attendance of 12k...

    Okay, suppose Sisu's lot do cough up a bit in terms of funding for players

    What's not clear to me is even if SISU have the money to spend are they able to do it within the constraints of the League 1 fair play rules, which I believe are already in place ? Any spending they authorise will be within the turnover they've estimated for League 1 and will predominantly be...

    The championship era - most memorable quotes

    We may have had some realism from the fans and dealt with the situation the club is in much sooner, instead of demanding an instant return and paying ridiculous money for players like Lee Hughes. Instead we're in the last chance saloon facing oblivion.

    Thorn speaks...

    “We’ll have a lot of supporters going down there and we want to give them something back because they will have been hurting as well" “On a professional front we owe it to West Ham to put in a performance but more than anything we owe it to ourselves and the fans" So bloody predictable !

    18th most successful Prem team

    http://www.talksport.co.uk/magazine/features/120426/all-time-premier-league-table-top-20-clubs-past-20-years-170665? Leicester shitty nowhere to be seen. In fact we're still the 2nd placed Midlands team. Hope we can get back sooner rather than later.

    The hype has started

    Richard Shaw is available. He's done a few thousand miles.

    The hype has started

    Surely there is no one left who is gullible enough to buy a season ticket based on these 'promises'. If you're a loyal supporter who wants to buy one, fair enough, but for goodness sake don't do it because your expecting an exciting team full of new signings.

    The hype has started

    http://www.ccfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10269~2750266,00.html? Sorry guys, this won't work again. By the time the embargo is lifted these targets will have gone elsewhere or we'll make derogatory offers to the clubs/players in question and the usual excuses will be used.

    Thorn speaks...

    We all know, that it will now take Fisher at least 2 months to get the budget signed off if at all, by which time any of Thorn's targets will have gone elsewhere. We've seen it too many times to think otherwise.

    Thorn speaks...

    The supporters may bounce back but will the club/team. It's 11 years and counting since we played in the top flight and no signs of a sustained recovery so far, in fact quite the opposite.

    Thorn speaks...

    This is all a regurgitation of the post match interview and I don't expect anything new to be added ahead of the Southampton game, other than 'We are concentrating on Saturday's game', 'We owe it to West Ham to perform well', 'We need to sign off positively for the fans' blah blah blah bullshit...

    Change all that is SKY BLUE?

    Given our pathetic displays of late, perhaps pink is the colour we should rebrand to :facepalm:

    Another bitter Sunderland fan

    http://salutsunderland.com/2012/04/mixed-feelings-au-revoir-portsmouth-good-riddance-coventry/? The utter hypocrisy in this article is astounding. He holds sentimental views about a club that has gone into admin twice in 2 years, cheating every other club they've played against, yet still...

    How many points for survival?

    1 more point than Bristol over the next 3 games to give us a chance on the last day. It's not beyond Barnsley to get a draw, they're not that bad defensively, after all we only beat them in the last 10 minutes

    The Run- In.

    I've got a gut feeling this will go to the last minute of the final game. This is how I see it panning out Sat 14th - Bristol 0 pts Cov 1pt - Bham too good for Bristol. Cov a hard earned point Tues 17th - 1pt each - Bristol earn a point against draw specialists West Ham, Coventry slip up at...

    Would everyone be happy with remaining unbeaten if it meant 6 draws and probable relegation ? I thought not ! I'd rather see 3 more wins with the likelehood that that will keep us up

    how many points will we need

    Southampton will not throw the game with us. They are too professional for that. It's pie in the sky dreamt up by some of their fans. The games at Hull, Burnley and Bristol do look winnable, though 4 to 5 points is probably realistic given our abysmal away form so far. I think we can pick up...
