Lessingham Canary 99 Posted June 29, 2017 i think he is a half decent manager, unfortunate for him there is a club that is in disarray Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolkngood 1,070 Posted June 29, 2017 if they sell the club i imagine they will be strong contenders if they keep the same owner they will struggle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted June 29, 2017 I think Grayson is a decent manager but has a hell of a lot to do there. They were pretty dire for several seasons before the drop, they''ve lost their only decent striker, their keeper, have a huge debt to manage (assuming the sale of the club is off) and the treading water for so long this summer has lost them a lot of time in the transfer market.

Dion Dublin=Legend 0 Posted June 29, 2017 They are 20-1 to be relegated. I think it''s worth a tenner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted June 29, 2017 That''d be a tenner down the drain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clubs like Blackburn, Fulham, Wigan, Villa etc who have struggle for a while before they go down usually struggle when they do go down.The debt and huge wage bill will undoubtedly see a few more out of the door as well20/1 is a good punt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 261 Posted June 30, 2017 Sound appointment, knows the league, has a record of promotions with each of his club; but the challenges at Sunderland are enormous.He will do well eventually - will he get that time.And I really can not see them getting relegated - mid table yes, but no double drop .

Hairy Canary 628 Posted June 30, 2017 I can''t see them going down but wouldn''t say it was totally out of the question. 20 to 1 is worth a go just for interest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

City 2nd 191 Posted June 30, 2017 Imagine young Declan Rudd won''t be too chuffed! Unless of course Mr Grayson takes him to Sunderland, with a need to replace Pickford! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Platonic 1 Posted June 30, 2017 "no value in a losing bet"So much wrong with the above sentence. 20-1 for sunderland to be relagated is tempting, but not quite long enough for me - if we knew that they weren''t going to spend a ton of money then I''d be interested, but I see no reason for them to stop throwing money at the problem now given their huge debt and the fact that this, more than any season, is the one to throw the kitchen sink at.
