Particularly large sums of money clubs don't have . Too many on here have short memories and those of us old enough remember the ridiculous Richardson "soft debt" quote when he had accumulated shit loads of hard debt.

The same applies to the belief that debt isn't bad if it is serviceable debt? The problem comes when you keep reaching out and reaching out beyond your means. The creep creep and then the seesaw tips and all of a sudden you are in the shit.

Gamblers addiction syndrome. Gradual losses compel you to risk more to win it back.

That was Richardson to a tee.

Great signing. Another player beaten too.

What other player has been beaten?!

I do get how you feel and there needs to be more parity. But I also understand why parachute payments are there.

I wonder how you would feel if Cov had got promoted last year, pushed the budget to try and compete but just missed out at staying up?

I doubt you would object to that financial assistance helping us to balance the books, honour contracts and having another go?

I don't know what the answer is but can see both sides of the argument.

The point of the parachute payments is to essentially protect a club who may have high earners on their wage bill and may not be able to shift. What we’re seeing more and more is clubs coming down and mortgaging against their future parachute payments to give them a warchest to get back up. The whole scheme needs rewriting at the very least.

But everyone is on holiday and the transfer window hasn't opened yet

Will Still has bailed on Sunderland at the last minute it would seem

That one Will Still be hurting for a while to come

Exactly this. I think parachute payments need to exist in some form, just the way it works now is floored.

Flawed too for that matter

Good point. Actually makes me chuckle reading my comment back.

Morris and Stamenic are similar age, position and transfer fee, but very different profiles. Be very interesting to see who does better in the championship.

Local journalists breaking transfer news?
And not being blackballed by the club they cover because of it?

I was told we shouldn’t expect this from Andy Turner because it would jeopardise all our transfers…

Saddle’s source has been leaking team news and transfer speculation for a good while and the club clearly doesn’t care that much.

not much the club can do about twitter to be fair

Think they can over members of the coaching staff revealing the team every week

it's not a coach

 

[fernandopartridge]

That's a weird one. I thought they had an option not an obligation.
Sheffield Utd sound totally fucked to me and I'm amazed people think they'll be up there.

Effectively it's a £4m loan, good business from Villa

Performance analyst, same difference

Liam Rosenior apparently turned down a second interview with Sunderland, this after Still turned them down at the last minute too. They seem all over the place and struggling to get a manager in. Could be a good bet for relegation

Very unlikely to go down in my opinion, but they do have a good tendency for self destructing.

Sunderland are a basket case club, but my money is on Oxford, Plymouth and Millwall to go down

Sunderland have such a strong fan base, that it has to be incompetent management that derails them consistently. That Speakman is under constant attack by fans and media. The chairman, billionaire's son, is also in his mid twenties and lacks experience.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Looking like Lampard to Sunderland

Middlesbrough have signed Burgzorg who was at Huddersfield last season

Middlesbrough sign ex-Huddersfield striker Delano Burgzorg

Middlesbrough sign Delano Burgzorg on a four-year contract from Mainz, after he spent last season on loan at Huddersfield Town.

rumours this morning that Millwall keeper Matija Sarkic has passed away.

Really hope it’s not true

Was Man of the Match for his country against Belgium a few days ago. Awful news.

How?

 

[False9]

Sad news that. Cov were heavily linked to him when he was at wolves.

 

[Sick Boy]

How?

They've only said that he became ill so far and died shortly after.

 

[Sick Boy]

Kevin Campbell has died as well.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Kevin Campbell has died as well.

That's a shocker, one of those players who seemed to score against us every time he played. I think Tyrese Campbell is his son?
