Stan Collymore has been appointed the fire safety officer.

So basically the titanic has hit the iceberg, is half submerged, and to remedy the situation, they’ve slapped a Mr. Tickle plaster on.

We laugh but some idiot will buy those though……

Slightly off topic but relevant. I drove through my town not too long ago and there’s queues at the petrol stations…. Something to be mindful of as the panic’ers start to stock pile fuel!

It’s a shit hole.

This is where he will end up in my opinion, don’t think he can be arsed now, he was pathetic on Saturday.

Birmingham are allegedly monitoring our situation, they want to make a move for him in the summer.

He will be the only one turning up to Seagrave!

GTF is a good lad! Good listen as always lads!

With what cash?

Speaks volumes about the type of partnerships they’re cutting deals with. Top really is a clueless, out of touch ****ing idiot.

Jake raised a good point on the BSLB pod. We’ve seen a lot of people say “back the lads support the team” to then precede to sit in a placid atmosphere, and **** off at 0-2? Why is that?

And people still can’t grasp why this situation could spell the end of the club? There’s your answer.

You need to put this on the BSLB pod 😂 @Ric Flair

Problem for me is, I don’t see enough fight or enough effort. There’s been an increase from some, but not everyone. I just feel the general mood and atmosphere around the club is that we’re finished but no one dare say it. I felt very much like that was the towel going in on Saturday……

It’s okay, we promote best season.

It will be a blood bath…. The weekend was the team throwing the towel in, expect exactly the same but against a better side. Easily be 5 or 6-0.

The same players we’ve been struggling to sell off for the best part of 4 years? All of sudden we will? And if we do, it will be on the cheap, so we will be getting reduced fees for them. We can’t just release players under contract, unless they mutually agree to terminate their contracts without receiving a payout…… Selling off land again won’t really help, selling Belvoir Drive will be small fry…. We would likely have to sell off assets anyway just to function, but it’s also highly likely we will enter a transfer embargo, where all we can do is sell and not sign, until they’ve reduced the wage bill significantly, and then that will leave us with a Squad of academy players. It was said recently the club loses £40m as a standard before a season starts on just the every day running of the club… the sheer financial drop would be like nothing ever seen before in English football….. if clubs like Derby nearly went bust, what chance do we have? When our natural wastage likely surpasses the value of their club?

Sunderland’s situation isn’t a fraction of we have going on here. No club has ever entered league one with the obscene overheads we have. The amount of work we would need to do to reduce those overheads isn’t possible…. We’re still financially operating like a top half premier league club…. Our situation financially is completely unique, we’ve likely breached FFP again, and we will automatically breach next season on league one. There’s no recovery from relegation, we will end up in administration.

Another league one thread, yay.

Absolutely, and once you’ve used up all of your dumb luck, and you’re left to your own devices, is when things start to go horribly wrong.

100% spot on!

I think our biggest issue, is we’re losing £40m a year without even doing anything….. we’re literally pissing money away.

We need to really stop fantasising of a resurgence at league one level…. The sooner some fans come to realise that nothing good will come of relegation…… apart from potential new owners……

This is bollocks…… Fatawu has been awful, we will be lucky to get £20m for him, and Monga? Seriously? You think those two will generate £50m? We do not have £50m worth of players to sell. A relegation will mean we won’t be allowed to negotiate and we will have to accept bids regardless. It’s likely we will be placed under a transfer embargo, so we will have little choice but to just sell players for whatever to get them off the wage bill and out of the club. Again, another example of not quite grasping the situation…..
