Calebs Grandad Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Really enjoyed both series but they just can’t accept that with the money that’s around in English football they are probably just a division 1 team at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister T Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) New 3 parter on Netflix. Enjoyed it especially..... Lee Johnston's cameo in the first episode is priceless.

Smithian Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Thanks for highlighting Season 3 is live. The first two seasons are brilliant viewing for a documentary. You can tell neither documentary season set out to profile an absolute collapse and failure of a big club and it was just amazing in the vein of being transfixed by a slow moving train wreck. I love how it is also the origin of Welcome to Wrexham in that Rob McElhenney became obsessed with Sunderland Til I Die. And I admit to loving Welcome to Wrexham. As someone who loves a good sports doc, I can't imagine two more equally delightful yet totally opposite vibes than Sunderland and Wrexham.

Hansel Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 These behind the scene shows are a curse. Mind our one coincided with our demotion season. I blame it for covid too. Seems to have been good for Wrexham though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Klack Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Sunderland till I die - first two seasons were brilliant. They have always had a Scottish connection, from Bain to Jack Ross to McGeady. Look forward to watching the new season - wish it contained more wee Lee content than folks suggest above. The owners in the last season came across as awful people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last series had some posh, ex-Ibizia dj acting like a twat, before that Martin Bain was the only person using their "spa" and cryogenic chamber (costing £2 million a year). Lee Johnson will be hilarious. I'm still holding out for a H1b5 one. Edited February 16 by Joey J J Jr Shabadoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowbray was loved by players and fans alike and most fans bought into that Mowbray was trying to do with such a young squad. When they sacked Mowbray they should have replaced with better - not fecking Beale who is an awful manager. His CV at QPR, The Rangers and Sunderland should prevent him getting another managers job.

They're the biggest & best supported club in that league (IMO). Sacking Mowbray, fair enough, 2 wins in 15 or something, but appointing Beale was verging on season ending suicide. I don't blame them for wanting him out, and I expect they'll climb into the playoffs quite easily with the right appointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but they surprisingly have one of the lowest wage bills so they’re actually punching well above their weight this season. Regarding Beale I remember Huns telling me that Beale was the real manager when Gerrard was at Ibroke and how amazing he was going to be. Not exactly worked out has it?!

EIEIO Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) Binge watched this over the weekend, really enjoyed it. Can't help but feel for their fans who are tremendously loyal , sadly a few of them are no longer with us. I'd also forgotten Ozturk and Jon Mclaughlin played for them. Not much sympathy for Jack Ross or Wee Lee though. Edited February 20 by EIEIO Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ribble Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 17 hours ago, Mikey1874 said: Time will tell. But the bigger common denominator here is Sunderland. yep, their carousel of managers since their departure from the premiership puts them in a difficult position where the managers they need think it's a poisoned chalice and the managers that do want to go there aren't good enough to meet some pretty high (and sometimes unrealistic) expectations. Each season they were in league one the expected to get automatically promoted cos they spent the most money, now because they have the most folk through the door every week they think they should be at least in the playoffs despite having a wage bill that's less than a sixth of league leaders Leicester. They get 40k per week at their games and yet have a £9m wage bill, the 4th lowest wage bill in the division, don't get me wrong I'm not saying that they spend outwith their means like they have in the past but they can't be giving managers their jotters every few months for not get promoted out of a league where 19 clubs are outspending you.

Benny Klack Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) Really enjoyed this series - the benchmark in all these types of shows IMO. Very sad ending - the way this show captures the strength of feelings real people have to their football club is incredibly powerful. Neil came across well, as did Ross Stewart. Hopefully this club gets back to the premier league one day but the club still seems like a basket case. Agree that the young owner seems to lack charisma and just seems to be an over privileged Euro bot playing at being a club owner to be like his Dad.
