Good luck mate. Hope you steady the ship and have a good season. I think you have a decent manager for The Championship. He'll get you scrapping which is what you need in that league. Hope you're back in the PL very soon.
 
Really hope they come back. Would much rather have the likes of them and Villa back than have the likes of Bournemouth or Brighton. I don't mean any disrespect to those clubs by that, it's just Premier League in a perfect world would be the traditional top 20 clubs in England.

Darron Gibson clearly needs help as a human being, forget Gibson the footballer. The club should take him away from first team football and tell him that until he gets himself sorted then they can't trust him on the pitch. If he refuses to help him himself then there's really nothing they can do.

I thought the likes of Lamina Kone and Wahbi Khazri who clearly have a bit of ability would get moves. On the other hand, their appalling attitudes last season means that other clubs probably view them as bad eggs who won't fight when the going gets tough and deservedly so. Defoe fought from the first minute of the season until the last and lo and behold he had a queue of clubs lined up offering him contracts. Pickford too, we couldn't wait to poach him and I'm for one over the moon he's here to be our number 1 for many years to come.

In hindsight losing Allardyce was a massive disaster for them as a club, he was clearly a great fit as manager. For him to leave for England (then get sacked after 1 game) is incredible bad luck. I understand why Ellis wanted to stick with Moyes as a long-term project but in hindsight the right thing to do last season around Christmas/January time would have been to sack him and offer Allardyce the keys to the city to come back, that's the only scenario I could imagine of them being able to have rescued themselves.

Good luck to them, hope they kick out the dirge, re-group and come back stronger.
 
Having big Sam pulled from under you was the sort of bad luck a team just dosn't need. I'm sure your gonna have a load of up's and downs this year, but grayson is sound and most on here will be supporting you in spirit every week. look forward to reading your updates throughout the season, starting tonight.
 

Adopted Sunderland as my second Team in England during last season. All the best for your lads! Fingers crossed! Went for a jog this morning in the jersey. Hope it brought a bit of luck. C'mon!
 
I would happily swap about half the PL clubs for some Div 2 clubs, or whatever its called now. Still the EFL?
