It’s a good word. Really sums up a lot about the country right now.

Where is the evidence that Sunderland are a 'huge club'? Over the near 60 years I have been watching football they have by and large been utter pants.... teams like Oxford, Luton, Wigan, Wimbledon, Bolton etc have achieved far more in that time... let alone Ipswich, or even Norwich.

Alas you can't shoehorn all 40 of the clubs who think they belong in the Prem into the Prem.

I think it's seen by some football fans that if their town/city has over a certain population, they then deserve to be a Prem club. Bristol springs to mind.

no he doesnt thats the whole problem, google Whyte Bikes vs Rich Energy, google the Netflix F1 doc, blimey people were getting upset Town hadnt filed accounts just for this year, Rich Energy havent filed accounts since 2017.

Ive no idea if the guy is personally wealthy or not, he must have some money,but his whole dalliance with F1 seemed to suggest his claims at providing budget and having millions of pounds and lots of investors behind him, were never met with hard cash payments handed out.

frankly Id fear the worst for Sunderland if he was ever given control, put it this way imagine Marcus Evans with the 10million a year they put in to to keep Town solvent, then gave Paul Lambert a 30 million transfer budget,ignore FFP everyone else does, but actually Evans then doesnt have a penny of that 40 million money anymore, it was just a big IOU on a scrap of paper, what happens next ?


They are our local rivals and I do not particularly like them but they have been a huge support to us when two of our fans sadly lost their lives in 2014 and of course poor Bradley lost his life in 2016.

If Mike Ashley's disastrous ownership is anything to go by, I would be cautious if I was a Sunderland fan. I am angry enough of what Marcus Evans is doing to Ipswich Town as I am a born and bred Ipswich man and I went to more Ipswich games than Newcastle as I went with a close friend of mine last year.

You both deserve better owners.

They've pulled in 49,000 fans for a third tier football game. They average 30,000 or thereabouts in the third tier of football. That alone is enough to warrant the "big" title.

No it isn't... OK they have a 'big' support - but the club is rubbish and alway has been. To assume it can sustain a Prem team when it never has is pure fantasy. Same with the belief that Bristol can somehow magiacally sustain a Prem team when it never has.... its just pure idiocy crossed with fantasy

A quick scan through his Twitter and he's also one of these no-maskers who think Covid is just a cold and some pharma money-making conspiracy.

Seems a total knob.

Pretty sure they're something like the fifth most successful English club in history?
Or at least they were until nouveau riche clubs such as Chelsea and City came along...
