I have never understood why fans give players stick when they leave the club after fulfilling their contracts. It happens and is just a part of normal life. We all do it. He didn’t move to a rival club and like it or not, Sunderland are a bigger club than us, bigger fan base and more money.
It certainly doesn’t make them a better club though and id much rather be a Baggie than a Mackem!
Yup Sorry Danny, I misread your earlier post.
Not sure that I agree with your assertion that Sunderland are a bigger club as I don't know how you measure that.
They may have a bigger ground and perhaps a bigger fan base but, have they over the years been more successful than us?
I only recall one FA Cup win for them in the last 50 odd years; same as us. Neither club has won the Premier league and neither looks like doing so any time soon.
The only thing that I envy them at the moment is that they play in 'proper stripes' but that's another matter that has already been done to death in the past.
Some days I'm top dog, most days I'm just the lamp post.
