This is the West Ham/Sheffield United saga from 2006 all over again. They don't make a noise when the punishment is handed out and then when they get relegated start bleating about court cases. Just admit that you sucked all season. Sunderland gained 1 point out of 12 that they could have won with the ineligible player fielded. So he didn't make that big a difference to the team. I could understand if Sunderland had won 2 or 3 of those games but they lost 3 of them.
