Think you will try buy him off us? what would you say he is worth - remember you bid 14m for borini last year

I think with a good run of games he could be a very good signing.

He hasn't had a look in at Liverpool and his contract expires next summer so I think could be worth a cheeky 2-3 million bid.

You can have the higher position I'll take the 6 points and the 2 fantastic afternoons on the piss

So glad they stayed up. Another 6 points next season.

Neither does the form table, you are lucky the season wasn't a few weeks longer.

indeed, those 6 points kept you up

Afternoon you lot.

What made Dick change his mind? Any ideas? A week ago retirement and now a one year contract. A big bag of cash is the obvious answer, but surely he'd already have been offered that?

Seems a little odd.

You might think so, but it could be that he always wanted to do it - but took the decision to stand by his promise to his wife and walk at the end of last season. And then, perhaps, on reflection, his good lady wife could see the reality of the situation and they've now agreed to compromise - a one-year contract is hardly a long term commitment is it?

Whatever the driver, I'm personally pleased with the situation - there are not too many options out there at the moment, and attracting top-level talent to Sunderland has never been easy....

Suspect the bag got bigger and bigger and bigger.

The difficulty is that choosing a manager is a lottery. If the next one wasn't Advocaat and also wasn't any good, someone is going to be for the chop.

Advocaat is now the safe choice for the board.

In the 'nobody ever got fired for choosing IBM' sense.

That suggests we actually 'played' yesterday.....

[Axionknight]

Well that was fking dreadful. The worst thing is that the stats suggest a fairly even game, shots, posession, corners etc all fairly balanced.

fking useless

[Lordbenny]

Wouldn't normally comment on another clubs thread but...what disgraceful scenes from the black cats fans leaving the ground after going 3-0 down. That would NEVER happen at Palace. That's why we're called supporters!

[castex]

Nor would I. So I'll just leave this here. Enjoy your manager.

As a Canary, my heart goes out to you. Seriously. As you say, the stats lie - you were so inept you made Norwich look like Barcelona. Looks like a looonnngggg season ahead for you.
