Didn't lose money somehow. Won like $200 on the roulette wheel, which I blew on blackjack, made sure I kept the $20 I started with though haha
That's all important after all, well done!
Oh dear I replied at the Casino post and I totally missed the decision one... Sensible and very wise choice: I was getting impatient to see it, which is a good sign... It means that this story is growing on me.
I'll certainly be following you climbing back to the top.

After the departure of Sam Allardyce, and the ensuing financial turmoil, the next Sunderland manager had been left in doubt, with very few names actually being linked to the role. A miraculous return for Roy Keane was rumoured, however the doubts have been put to bed, with the club making an announcement late last night.
Former Sunderland under-21 manager, Chris Whitehead, has been given the reigns to the first team on a one year contract, with the option to extend it in the future, depending on performance. The Wearside born man Whitehead, has been with the club since 1990, when he was signed as a schoolboy at age 10. The promising goalkeeper had has career cut short at 16 due to injuries, but was put through coaching programs in order to keep a position at the club. Having progressed through the ranks at the Sunderland coaching system, the appointment seems like a very shrewd one.
Chris Whitehead was one of the few staff members who took a wage cut in order to continue on at the club, and one of his first jobs as manager will be to offload the players who don't wish to stay at the club. Whitehead's stature in the Sunderland ranks may encourage some of the more promising players to stay.
Here's hoping the more promising ones stay. Also surpised you got a manager who wanted to be there, I for one would just call it quits and look somewhere else without the hassle
Good appointment and nicely woven into the story. He must love the club if he's been there for a long time and will strive hard to revive the club. Taking a pay cut says it all.

Good story developments so far, nice to see you are in League 2 so the climb back to the top flight will be a interesting one to follow for sure and the manager appointment is great, since he worked with the younger players he could focus on bringing a new core set of players through the youth academy that will be the next big thing

As we approach the start of the EFL League 2, Sunderland have been promptly offloading first team players as the club prepare to start life in the fourth tier of English football. All but two players, Billy Jones and Will Buckley, agreed to have their contracts transferred to Sunderland, after the new company was set up, allowing the club to benefit from their sale. A huge number of players have left the club, including first team players, such as Jermaine Defoe, Jan Kirchoff, and fan favourite Lee Cattermole.
However, Sunderland haven't been left completely without structure. Many promising young players, such as Jordan Pickford, Lynden Gooch, and Duncan Watmore have all committed their futures to Sunderland. The Wearside born Pickford was very vocal on twitter regarding his future, and about commitment to the club, which has made him an instant fan favourite. Paddy McNair is yet to commit his future to the club, with some of his comments worrying Sunderland fans who have been searching for stability, but he did however sign a one year contract with the new company.
On the players front, Sunderland will not be allowed to bring new players into the club until 2017, with a transfer embargo being placed upon the club for the remainder of the calendar year. A full list of departures can be found below:
Transfers Out Vito Mannone (Hull City) £2,000,000 Lamine Kone (Everton) £15,000,000 Patrick van Aanholt (Southampton) £3,500,000 Jan Kirchoff (Leicester City) £4,000,000 Fabio Borini (West Ham) £8,500,000 Lee Cattermole (Middlesbrough) £5,000,000 Jack Rodwell (West Brom) £4,000,000 Jermaine Defoe (Bournemouth) £12,000,000 Wahbi Khazri (Lyon) £10,000,000 Seb Larsson (Aston Villa) £1,000,000 John O'Shea (Hull City) £500,000 Jeremain Lens (Fenerbache) £7,500,000 Adam Matthews (Bristol City) £1,000,000 Seb Coates (Sporting CP) £4,500,000 Will Buckley (Brighton) Free Billy Jones (Norwich) Free

That's the next update, the new squad
I didnt mean new as in new players, it was terrible wording by myself
Actually very good question, then who takes that teams place in their old league etc
Probably in the next update
I'd guess Newcastle as they were the best placed Relegated team. But I am a toon fan so . .
Guess we will have to wait and see
