The Sunderland forum has 55 pages on this thread. Amongst the snippets was this gem;
"
It was certainly better than that game. Today is a game we should have won but our finishing was too poorGot to give some credit to their goalkeeper. He was a right pain in the arse."

I actually think he’s our most “trade-able” player right now…. I hope we don’t sell him but he’s a very modern type of keeper and wouldn’t be out of place in the top flight… or at least warming a bench there… IMHO
Hopefully the last few games have added an extra 0 to his sale price.

6 games without scoring a goal, crap crowds in a shit stadium.
Absolutely futile club.
No; futile means no purpose. Surely they do have a purpose; making us laugh each week.

Horrid performance, nice point. The end.
A point won rather than two points lost.

That play towards the end of the 1st half; well worked positive team work. Just missing the culminating goal, but great improvement on earlier in the season.

Is that three or four great saves in the first half hour? Thank you Max.

Clarke Osborne has been mentioned several times previously on this and other fora.If a sports club; football, rugby, speedway etc is about to fold or become homeless, C O is frequently linked.

You’ve misread the article.
Warnock is claiming he’s retired, not Pearson.
With a place in Devon if he’s well enough then he seems a very smart choice for them to me.
On five live this morning this was stated , plus Plymouth need a saviour.

It’s interesting really,Plymouth had their manager poached because he done a good job,when was that last time a City manager was sought after
Joe Jordan thirty years ago?
As for Rotherham's relegation. looks like they could be joined by neighbours Sheff W and (only 30 mins away) Huddesfield. With Sheff U about to exit the Prem, a lot of South Yorks sadness about.

The OP asks "This question has always interested me, especially with the suggestions on here that SL should sell up, but what happens if he decides he doesn't want to be the owner, this isn't for him, and there's no one else waiting to buy the club?"
Remember Rushden? Just 20 years ago City were playing them in League One. Max Griggs died and his relatives weren't interested so no more bank rolling the club. They dropped down the Leagues and in 2011 were expelled from the National League due to their unstable financial position. They have reformed but at a very low level,
Bury; financial difficulties and expelled from the EFL August 2019. Reformed and now play in the 9th tier.

Dennis Smith managed both clubs (at different times in 1991/92; When John Lumsden was dismissed, Dennis Smith was appointed manager. He was recommended by Brian Clough of Nottingham Forest and had guided Sunderland into the first division two years ago, but he had been sacked after the defeat at Ashton Gate in November.

Massive fan of Palmer. Proper player. Would love to see him given a real chance for England. A real flair player and is arrogant.
It appears City signed the wrong Palmer.
Meanwhile is Cole related to Carlton Palmer, who according to some papers, was the worst player to ever play for England.

Just found this on the Sunderland forum; https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/premier-league-eyeing-up-abolishing-points-deductions.1631030/
Basically want to scrap points deductions as per title and introduce a luxury tax. If that happens it'd provably result in the PL becoming a two horse race each year between the two state owned clubs. And would make a bit of a farce of the PL as a sporting competition. It would likely widen the already huge gap between the top and bottom clubs.

From the Sunderland forum. The line in bold type sounds like City.
https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/safc-losing-100’s-of-1000’s-every-week.1630984/
Just curious as to how/why we’re losing (reports I’ve seen £300k a week) and how it would compare to others.
Practically every club is a basket case in the championship, the majority hope to sell at least one player for a large sum to cover most of the costs and keep within FFP or as close to as possible.
You will find that clubs who have gone for it this season (and don't go up) will cut costs like crazy next season and it can take a few seasons before they are ready to challenge again. -

We're not a Leeds? We're not even a bloody Luton, for crying out loud.
For years if not decades Brentford, Brighton and Bournemouth were all (seemingly) consistently in Div 3. It doesn't seem that lo g ago Brighton travelled to Hereford on the last day of the season knowing whoever lost would be dropping into the Conference (as was). Now those three Bs are settled Prem clubs.

Looks like Foster is set to be sacked imminently. Warnock in for Argyles final 6 games…
The Plymouth forum announced the sacking at 6.45pm and they're on the whole, happy about it.

Every silver lining has a cloud.
City could have climbed one place higher over Cardiff today, but having taken the lead, Coventry scored two own goals.

A workmanlike team performance AGAIN. Max looked unflappable and after the first 20 mins, City had control of the game.

Guess what; another forum with pessimists posting their fears. https://www.brfcs.com/forums/topic/36942-v-bristol-city-a-10042024/
1; Bristol City are a menace. They are well capable of soundly beating any team in this division and equally can play like absolute dross. This could be an absolute chasing for us or a three point Ashton Gate benevolent evening and there is no predicting which it will be.
2; No real options to freshen things up will see us lose this 2-0 I reckon.
3; A tough one at Bristol,like yesterday it's very important we don't pick up early yellows and see out the first 15 minutes.
