Can we really “reset”’? I’m not sure we can. What would enabled us to? What would become the catalyst for change? All I can envisage is fewer fans attending, less money and players with lesser ability because we have no money to buy good players. We have a L1 GK in net thats why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether we go down or not we need a reset as so many players are out of contract, which IMO is a good thing. The problem is that last summer's recruitment was so awful it does not bode well for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poite Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Normally I'd say it's nonsense. It's not like getting relegated deems all current contracts null and void. In our current situation however most of the squad is our of contract so we can 'reset' but tbh we could do that's without a relegation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northeastowl Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I’m Chansiri’s biggest critic however I still think we would walk league 1. It’s a pretty horrendous league and none of the clubs have a penny to spend. Even with DCs pathetic recruitment strategy we’d have too much quality. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reset would mean regroup, get rid of the rubbish (ie all) and rebuild. If we were capable of that, we would have been constantly doing that and we haven't. I can see another relegation quite easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brissy-owl Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I think our aim next season will be to simply stay in league 1, we are going to struggle I reckon and I'm not ruling relegation to league 2 out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remind we what we've spent in the last 3 seasons? 500k on Patterson, 400k Windass, 800k Luongo, 250k Iorfa, 200k Pelupessey? Something like that. Just the other year Sunderland spent £3M on Will Grigg (ironically he turned out to be like Jordan Rhodes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact we’ve been struggling to pay players on time, can’t fix the undersoil heating, DC securing a loan against the ground, no money spent in January when it was clear we needed to to stay in the division. I’m genuinely worried about our financial position. But then at the same time we’ve just paid compo for an out of work manager. So it’s very confusing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Issues with accounts', not paying players on time, constant blaming of Covid to justify this even though 90 other teams all paid players on time.

fatzooma Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Unfortunately, we are heading straight to League 2 For the first time in our History..I seriously think that this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chansiri will spend millions if he was allowed to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
