The opening credits have to be the cringest thing I've ever seen in my life.

The animation/title sequence stuff is pretty well done I think, the song is proper cringe though I'll give you that.
Ye it was well made but I find the whole thing gut wrenching.
What would the N17 equivalent look like?
Would just be 10 episodes of people moaning about the new stadium and how Levy has "no ambition"
The problem was Coleman didn't quite grasp the seriousness of the situation when he came in. Plus he'd just come off the back of the Wales job, where he'd had a super-tight bunch of players who'd go through walls for him. He then comes across this little prick Grabben, who's obviously their best player, and acting like he's Johnny Big Bollocks, so he thinks he can get rid of him and get someone else.
It was obviously a massive, massive mistake, as was not bringing in a super-experienced keeper, who could steady the ship in defence. They needed to find a 35-year-old with loads of experience who wouldn't start shitting himself every time a goal went in.
Yeah, i think that Ruiter admitting he was shocked to find out he was playing, especially so soon before a game, says it allTo be fair they did bring in Camp, who is very experienced in the division and you'd assume a decent keeper. Pretty much exactly what you described.
Mind, Steele was a very decent championship keeper before going to Sunderland. I think Grayson's faffing and not informing the goalkeepers about who'd be playing until the last minute and constant changing just helped ruin the form of both Steele and Ruiter. Once the confidence has gone a keeper can really suffer.
Impossible job for all involved. Sunderland set up needed cash just to survive. Once this was removed their decline was rapid. They are the footballing version of Carrilion
My takeaway from the documentary, was when clubs get relegated, you don't automatically think about the staff that work at the ground and training ground. The chefs, the groundsmen, receptionists, admin etc. You don't truly appreciate what could happen to them. And for Sunderland, they are the backbone and all came across likable to me. Don't know if it was just for the cameras, but Coleman going around shaking everyone's hands when he started was a nice touch. Also when he got sacked, leaving a message with the head chef and her team. Lovely stuff.
