Me frustrating?

You haven't explained what you meant by having a guaranteed replacement in line and ready to pull the trigger Immediately when you're also saying it isn't what you said.

No one will bid 5 million for O'Hare this window.
If for some reason they did, there's no way we'd turn it down.
Our recruitment team have done enough for us to assume that O'Hare would be replaced well, targets will already be in place.
Markets where you can pick up excellent players for under £5 million include Scandinavia, North America, Asia, Belgium, Netherlands... list goes on really.
We know you can pick up good players for good prices because we can draw upon examples such as OUR WHOLE FUCKING TEAM.
Jesus fucking Christ.

You're absolutely correct here. I can understand this.

You're also correct on something else. I do have a problem sometimes understanding what people actually mean and I have to check what I put because the words I use don't always mean what I mean them to because of my autism. That's why a lot of my posts are too long. I try to cover every base.

And yet again I ask you to explain what you meant by saying you guarantee we have a replacement ready and are ready to pull the trigger immediately. The immediately is what I'm struggling with if the player won't be ready until its too late.

Do you mean a replacement for next season?

I mean we're a well run club with a clear plan and there's no way we'd let someone like that go without having a replacement lined up.

I'm happy to draw a line under this if you are? It's gone on too long tbh.

sunderland hull tonight sends us 7th whatever the score
The positive is they both cant win, so 3 points tomorrow would be most welcome

Draw is best for us, maybe with a half-dozen sendings off as well ? Can't have too many or the ref will abandon the game.

Well, I can hope

If I were Hull manager i'd find that a big worry as they say no one left to "take a player out" ie Clarke on a run .

Carvalho probably too good for the Championship anyway; fantastic loan signing for them.

“Against a Sunderland side who will definitely be up there for the play offs” remarks the pundit as fans boo them off and call for the managers head.

Just over 1 point a game under Ian Beale...

I would have thought that they would be there or there abouts but Beale seems to have lit a bin fire under them.

I think it was coming anyway, in fairness to Beale you can't really get away without having a decent striker all season

Fair point. They'd have had us on toast at theirs if they could finish.

What a surprise the premier league player the difference maker. I can’t believe some were trying to convince us it wasn’t a great signing.

Co’mon now, they missed one big opportunity. We had a pretty big opportunity missed ourselves at 0-0.

Hull and M'Boro are our 2 likeliest contenders for the play offs imo.

Apparently praising the signing of someone who had 18 goal involvements in his last championship season was calling him “pele or Messi”

From what I recall I don’t think many were questioning his ability. There was mention of a potentially poor attitude though.

Was speaking to a mate a couple weeks ago. The subject soon got onto football. Mowbray didn't get sacked for not being good enough.

We have a manager. They have a coach. Our manager decides who we sign. Those running Sunderland do all the transfer deals. Mowbray started telling them to get a striker who is ready and not one of the young players signed for the future. So they got rid of him and signed a yes man.

Of course the supporters are pissed off. Mowbray got them promoted then got into the playoffs 1st season back. Their last striker was Simms on loan. Yet Mowbray got them playing again this season and into the playoffs.

So there's my reasoning on Sunderland falling away from the playoffs.

Mowbray didn’t get them promoted. I know some fans claimed that he was being told who to pick and even who to sub during games though, can’t imagine he just accepted that if true.
