So what do people think of Sunderland and the way they do business in recent days? Is this what we can expect from them from here on in?

Sickening for us but if ya see it from their point of view its merely exploitative and its a cut-throat business.
I do think Keanos Rambler loyalties show up which is fair enough.
Its more than suspect how the City match wasn't arranged the same way as Galway and Bohs.
City saw sense in the end though in putting out a decent team.
Despite the few suckers, I don't think their recruitment drive for new fans went as well as they'd have hoped.
That's mainly because they're poor though.
Not in the mood to talk about the two Roys saga.
That falls so far short i cant put it into words. Their point of view just doesn't come into in imo.Quote:

When Keane first decided he was interested he stated he knew he wouldnt get Roy till January and that was fine. Then after convincing Roy to reject Fulham promptly decided he wanted Roy now.....and for less money than Fulham were offering.
Hence Lennox going mad about how Sunderland do business and this thread being started
Thank You!!:)Quote:

I was outlining the way they do business, which in the business world counts for a whole lot from what i can see. Their sources of revenue is something for another thread to be honest.Quote:

I still think O'Donovan should have gone to Fulham as he has better chance of making an impact at a club where the manager has a plan for him.
Ireland has always been sold out by its own kind. :(
Not the 1st time by Keane really.(Ferguson in the making)Quote:
