"How the hell I ever came from Millwall, all the way up to bloody Sunderland. I wil never know?" Considering that's a quote from one of our biggest legends and he loved his time here and loved the club. Unfortunately, that's why we will never be able to attract most big players. Our location will always be our downfall.
Yeah but it was much different in 1957. The country is much easier to navigate now. And I think our location is also part of what makes us special. We are Sunderland and our fans live and breath Sunderland AFC. Charlie knew it, Bally knew it, Luke knows it.....
@@SunderlandAFCTV I agree. It's easy now and means so much to us, but nobody cares for us up here. Put it this way. Imagine you're a foreign footballer. Never been to the UK before and know nothing about the UK. You get two offers. One from Sunderland and one from Watford both for the same money both clubs in about the same position in the table. Objectively, where are you gana transfer too. Sunderland or London?
@@Mashmarriner69we shoild always be able to pay better wages than Watford.The size and stature of both clubs are chalk and cheese.No comparison We are in NE England not Scotland.
@@themanftheworld8439 We should be able too, but are we? Most people don't even know where Sunderland is on a map. As much as we love the North East. The NE has a shit reputation. We are forgotten about up here. The mags were too. Well, before they became the richest club in the world. Look how much they have had to spend to attract the big players in the 90s. Newcastle is a much more attractive city for people too
It’s a debate for a long night over a few pints. Sunderland are an amazing club with a rich history and the best fans in the country. But not everyone gets that, particularly established overseas players. It has been and will continue to be an ongoing challenge for the club. That’s why having local talent like Patterson, Neil and Rigg in the team is important….
The king is dead long live the memory of King Charlie!
Respected King RIP
Respect
