I read an article earlier saying they are losing £600k a week so its highly possible

If that's true it will serve them right but if it happens it probably will be applied next season.

They're spending all their money they made from being in the Premier League on a new Stadium.

Edwards is just helping them out. Plus he'll probably getting a new job, sooner or later.

If they didn’t have the money they should sell a player to raise it they are not above that, you never know when you are going to work again so take the money.

Sunderland have agreed a deal for Le Fee. Loan and £20m if they get promoted. Unreal signing.

An owner with ambition, unfortunately we don’t have one

They've made some cracking signings without breaking the bank though. Bellingham was £2m, Browne on a free, Isidor on loan, Cirkin for £1m. Yes they've been lucky with having multiple academy products become starters but still.

Good one Dean Austin and Doug bling, it’s an utter embarrassment

Is that luck?

Good coaching and investment in infrastructure, surely.

Yes they’re a Cat 1 academy so have to have great facilities and spend a minimum of £2.5m a year on it.

Not sure what happened to our academy. We had some cracking players come out while we were in L1 like Wilson, Madders, etc.

They would’ve joined the academy when we were still a championship team and at a time where EPPP didn’t exist - which made it harder for other teams to poach talent.

Now the players coming through would’ve joined the academy when we were in L1/L2 and our top prospects are getting poached. We lost an England U16 defender to Man City and our best midfielder to Wolves this summer alone.

£30m a year? No way
