mozza Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Sunderland players have offered the fans who witnessed their 8-0 defeat at Southampton their money back.. http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/wires/pa/article-2801711/Sunderland-squad-offer-fans-refund.html (Delete if posted elsewhere ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisse Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 They should at least double the money. 8-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hate this idea. Where do you draw the line? Does 7-0 require a refund? If so, what about 6-0? And 5-0? What scoreline is the limit where the players have to refund their fans? And I know that they aren't being told they have to, but it's about setting the precedent. Fans of all clubs will start demanding their players refund them when they lose heavily because of this. Then before you know it, it becomes a regular thing. Love the sentiment, terrible idea.

Cisse Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Perhaps the players know themselves when something like this is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyinLiverpool Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Players on 50k a week cough up a little bit of it in exchange for any responsibility for their performance. Pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Its a well meaning gesture from the players. Nowt to do with the club as such so its a mark of respect for the fans, a bit of recogniton for them from the players. If they don't claim their refund it'll be donated to a local kids charity, so for me, its a public way to say sorry from the players. Its a one off due to exceptional circumstances.

maydrakin Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Apparently on 606 Robbie Savage said the players should pay the fans for that performance. Top marks to the Derby fan who phoned up saying that Savage owed him some money for that Prem season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mafiabob Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Rather than donate to the fans.... Pay to charity.... Local one. I wouldn't be comfortable taking/asking for my money back. Like a poster said earlier on in the thread, where you draw the line? Especially if your team are having a bad season? Would be much happier if they donated to a local charity.

i-Ram Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Altidore is gone from them in January. Hopefully he can get back to form wherever he goes. It is said that form Is temporary, class is permanent. Based on his performances over here in Blighty I do wonder if he might have either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on his performances over here in Blighty I do wonder if he might have either. Me too mate.He plays very good for the national team...but ever since he left Alkmaar he has not played well at all on the club level.Is it nerves? Mental? Not sure, but needs to get his **** together or Klinsmann will leave him off the US squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLACML Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I think it's a fair enough idea, provided that it's made clear that it won't be a regular thing. 8-0 is a joke of a result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have given fans the choice, claim ticket money back, or let their money be donated to a local kids charity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
