Sunderland 'Til I Cry: EFL and beyond 19/20

nothing is weird these days but Harrogate Town in the football league? hmm truly the age of Toryism!

Dover let all their players go. Sounds terminal.

That was clever!

Not from Raya, obvs.

Aw. Even watching the text commentary has been a chore

It has been a poor match. Fulham have been slightly better but there’s not much in it.

Remarkable from Joe Bryan. One goal since 2018, two tonight.

Feel for Brentford as they’ve been so good this season and I can’t imagine the front three will still be there when the next starts.

I guess having choked twice in the run-in Brentford shd've expected this

Won't be the first time they've had to rebuild tho

Poor old Brentford, losing playoffs sucks. I hope they make an absolute mint selling Ollie W.

Brentford won't win the playoffs (aeternum)

In all seriousness, I hope Reading FC go out of business for this pic.twitter.com/kS967KWN6p

i hope Bury FC are eradicated from the face of the earth and never play a game of football again

Me too, though obviously I'd be happy with an AFC Bury making their way back to Gigg Lane in the fullness.

aye i always feel for fans when owners are douchebags, but then that's almost all owners at some point

It is, and I very much hope they all go bust.

in only slightly related news I Danny "arse carbuncle" Boyle goes bust as well! But I do have a soft spot for Gigg Lane.

Highlight of the night so far goes to the lad that walked passed these ketchup bottles and thought it was hand santiser 😂🤦🏼‍♂️
He played it pretty cool to be fair and sneaked off to wash his hands 😂@CambridgeUtdFC #cufc #camutd #EFLTrophy #cufc #SocialDistancing #COVID19 pic.twitter.com/RabuYFuLpm

Macclesfield bustness confirmed this morning. Odd since they've been signing players all week, including stealing Jason Cowley - who we've had as a trialist for about a month - by offering him loads of cash.

yeah, it's a grim start to the season, and worse to come probably

it's a shambles that they were still signing players with £500k of short term bills they couldn't pay and nearly £5m worth of debt hanging over them. I once said to my brother I hope this tinpot pub-team goes bust after they did us 4-0, but honest, I didn't mean it!

for my freebet treble I've got Blackburn who are 3-0 up and Reading who are 0-0 but a Barnsley player has seen red and then I've got Town ...sigh

now Blackburn 4-0 up and Reading 2-0 up against 9 men Barnsley. fucking typical why did I put Town on the treble after a lifetime of them knacking up my bets.

5-0!

you sign Naby Sarr and don't put him in your squad? deserve all you get

I forgot we'd even signed him! Although last time he was on the pitch with the Town squad he did give the ball to Grant for his first goal!

He'll definitely get a chance now, we just lost Schindler and Toffolo to injuries today.

that was Deji Oshilaja!

you'll have forgotten Schindler and Toffolo's names by the end of Sarr's first game

I'm not really that downhearted at how shit we are rn. It doesn't help our only striker Koroma is L1 standard and not even any good at that level. This Grant transfer saga (which will no doubt also include a nice little windfall for Charlton) going on forever is killing us, just tip up the cash Baggies, or boing boing fuck off! Oh we just signed a young central midfielder from Ajax, there is another positive.

a windfall that might just pay our wages while the crook who doesn't even own us holds us to ransom in the courts

we've got a useless owner who is clearly out of his depth, but I do suspect the blundering oaf is doing his best and it just hasn't been good enough so far. But at least he is a fan of the club and not some asset stripper who got their fingers burned trying to make a quick buck out of a club and playing hardball to get some cash back.

the fact that he was willing to pay off those repugnant Cowley brothers rather than persist with them after realising the dreadful mistake he had made shows at least he'll sometimes put the good of the club over money.

our last chairman made sure he grasped back any of the prem money legacy to cover the "debt" owed to him. Even when we'd got promoted to the prem I always maintained he was a total shit.

The Leyton Orient thing is pretty alarming. The majority of the first team tested positive for COVID but the only reason anyone found out is because Spurs paid for the tests. Their chairman's pointing out that it's not fair to make Orient players self-isolate, and to award Spurs the win, as other teams could be in the same situation but not have to be tested.

I'm behind on Leyton Orient ownership, thought it was still Barry Hearn. It's another arsehole now - some Brit from a US corporate background. Who'd have thought he'd be capable of such unscrupulous practises!

🤯 The club shop has done over £20k of sales since yesterday morning!

No words for your generosity, Spurs fans 🙏

that Forest manager will be gone by tomorrow, he's pissed away a fortune and if we weren't so "blessed" with players that literally can't even score a simple tap in or get a one on one on target and encumbered with a £16m star striker we can't even play, then these turkeys would have lost at least 3-0 tonight. As if they started with Grabban on the bench, manager hasn't got a clue what he is doing.

An agreement has been reached for Barnsley manager Gerhard Struber to join New York Red Bulls on a three-year contract. A reported €2m (£1.8m) fee has been arranged to bring Struber to America.

blimey

goes without saying but happy to have been saved

there will be a period of adjustment where he get's used to bairns not smoking again and politely ordering food rather than grunting fookin' chips!

Danny Cowley was Huddersfield Town manager until he was unceremoniously sacked a couple of days after guiding Town to Championship safety last July. Now he’s doing corporate gigs for ScrewFix Direct.

Cowley answered some heavily curated questions taken from fans on Twitter and then played a couple of slightly cringe-inducing games involving the ScrewFix catalogue, some ping pong balls and mugs.

it looks like charmless bellowing PE teacher Danny is discovering he isn't quite the hot property he thought he was and he has take whatever gigs he can get these days.

Apparently we are all being reimbursed our season ticket cash.

charlton are just converting theirs into streaming passes and merch vouchers haha
