And the other FA Cup, and the six league titles. Whether you like it or not mate, and even as a Sunderland fan it doesn't feel like it right now, Sunderland are easily in the top 10 biggest clubs in England.

We're shadowed only by the likes of Everton, Spurs, Man United, Liverpool etc..

Have other teams been more successful than us over recent years? Absolutely. Leicester and even Burnley accomplishing wonderful things in recent years but in terms of size of club, there's not many bigger than Sunderland.

I like the cut of your jib young man.

Personally, I like a supporter from another team who is interested in us, and is willing to fight his own corner.

Best of luck to JP. They have a decent management team down there for next season.

Dunfermline fans seem gutted he is away.

Over 46000 at the Sunderland game today.

Aye, and 8000 at the FA cup tie with Walsall a few weeks ago.

Think that's a record for the 1st Division. Some going.

Quite a difference there. While today was a league one record, it's just another name for the third tier and the Sheffield derby attracted 49000 at that level in the late 70s.

How come we don't have top Sunderland loanee?

 

[Guest TPAFKATS]

Have we asked?

[St.Ricky]

Guys  This us JR you are talking about. The ultimate professional  (and I am happy he was our manager ). If there's nothing in it for him then it won't be happening.

You want another loanee from the English lower leagues?

Ehm....No thanks.

[TPAFKA Jersey 2]

Absolute gent as ever in that video.

The guy just oozes class.

Yep Jack is a great guy and the 2nd best manager we've had in my lifetime. I think he'll take Sunderland back to the premiership next season, he's that good.

I watched the Sunderland game yesterday at home to Luton there shite Luton were all over them if they don't get there act together they won't be getting promoted that's a few times now and they haven't impressed me at all.

He's done some job to have stopped the rot though. The club were dropping like a stone. It was never going to be a case of them absolutely horsing this league. 

If he can get them promoted in any way in his first season it will be a great achievement.

I didn't watch it Elvis. Nor have I watched any Sunderland game since JR went there.  I'm not knocking those who do,  or who take an interest in how Jar does from now on. I would take more interest if I saw any practical signs of reprocicity other than words from JR.  As he moves up.. And here  will.. Let's see if we benefit from loan deals etc.  Other than that  he is the guy who won the championship and then folded his tent and moved on.  Thanks,  though for the memories.

He needs to get them out of League One first of all....

NOt sure the rot would have continued anyway.

Any reasonable manager with Sunderland's resources could make a fist of it in that league. Promotion is the absolute minimum they would expect. JR's real test will be next season should he manage the first objective.

Agree with this. A club of this size should be having few problems getting out of League One. The biggest difficulty for JR was the rebuilding job needed.

I suspect that's why Jack felt secure enough  to take such a big job so early in his career. He basically has a full season to learn how to run such a major operation. He's anything but foolish is JR.
