The one thing I have heard proposed in the past, and I hope football never goes down that route would see the creation of a Premier 2 and becoming a 'closed shop' so to speak, parachute payments would be stopped, as would promotion/relegation between Premier 2 and The Football League, we would have no co-operation between PL/FL. And that would probably destroy the Football League.

As for the TV deal, Sky and BT could screen more matches over the season, multiple games at the same time and try to get the Saturday 3pm Blackout quashed by being allowed t9 show a limited number of games at 3pm on a Saturday, I dont care what anybody says, it would not have a devastating effect on attendance football if games were screened at 3pm on a Saturday...

Gonna have to have a good think about this to see if anything sensible can come off my mind [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY]

A very controversial character among some

Glad to hear Guy has signed for 2 more seasons

Could be interesting times ahead for Man Yoo, are the Glazers without old Malcolm interested in them as a business???

The others less so.
None are regular match day starters to be honest.

Noble looked yards off the pace whenever he has played.

Hatch is a threat, but mustn't fit into Mills plans.

2 free signings already - both decent players.

Now they need to sign up:

Santiago Vergini
Marcus Alonso
Fabio Borini (may have a chance, Rickie Lambert is supposed to be up in Liverpool for a medical tomorrow)

get Colback and Larrson on new deals

(28 May 2014, 9:10 am)Michael wrote Sunderland make their first signing of the summer:

Defender Billy Jones has agreed a four-year deal at the Stadium of Light and will become a Sunderland player from July 1

Hatch has signed for Darlington. 3rd or 4th time now?

(30 May 2014, 2:14 pm)marxistafozzski wrote 5th time mate, had loan spells in 2008/09, 2009, 2009/10, 2010/11, signing permanently in 2011, he was part of the FA Trophy winning in 2011 at Wembley...

He is getting on now, he is 32, but I reckon it is something of a coup for us to sign him

Now, if we can sign Ronaldo, Messi, Bale and Neymar the squad will be complete [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY]

Rickie Lambert is expected to undergo a medical at Liverpool on Saturday after an initial £4m fee was agreed with Southampton.

4M? what a bargain

Wonder if Sunderland can have Fabio Borini now!

More images of me too - wearing a yellow jacket in those clips
Got wrong for celebrating goals a few times, including the fist pump on one of Solano's goals

(30 May 2014, 9:54 pm)AdamY wrote I used to be a steward for a short while too. I believe the company I worked for was called T.E.M. It lasted for around three-to-four months in early 2001 whilst I was in-between jobs. On one occasion, I went to Brunton Park in Carlisle to act as a Steward. Carlisle played Hull City that day - I remember it well!

(30 May 2014, 9:59 pm)Andreos Constantopolous wrote Just before me.
Started at the start of the 2001/2 season for a few extra quid on top of my full time job.

With the European games and domestic games, I was clearing an extra £100 a month or so, which made a canny difference at the time.

T.E.M had it when I started, but it was taken back in house - which meant we were on the payroll of the club and got staff discount in club shops etc.
