The2006–07 season was the 112th full season inSunderland A.F.C.'s history and their 106th in theleague system of English football. After recording a record low total of 15 points in the 2005–06 season, Sunderland finished bottom of the league and were relegated to the Football League Championship.
Sunderland began the 2005–06 season withMick McCarthy as manager, having been promoted as champions the previous season.[1] Before the start of the season, McCarthy recruitedDaryl Murphy,[2]Nyron Nosworthy,[3]Jonathan Stead,[4]Kelvin Davis,[5]Tommy Miller,[6]Martin Woods,[7]Alan Stubbs,[8]Joe Murphy andAndy Gray.[9][10] Their first match back in the Premier League came againstCharlton Athletic where they were beaten 3–1.[11] Sunderland's first victory of the season came in theTees-Wear derby, when goals fromTommy Miller andJulio Arca saw them to a 2–0 victory.[12] After this win, they had to wait until January to record their next victory when they beatWest Bromwich Albion.[13]
On 6 March 2006, McCarthy was sacked, and former playerKevin Ball was brought in for the final ten games of the season.[14] In a match againstFulham heavy snow forced the game to be abandoned while Sunderland were 1–0 down. The rearranged fixture was won by Sunderland, as they narrowly avoided being the only club in English League football to not win a home game.[15] They finished the season with 15 points, which was a record low in the top flight untilDerby County broke it with 11 points in the2007–08 season. This also broke their own record low number of points, beating the 19 points they achieved in2002–03.[16]
Much of the summer had involved rumours of a takeover deal between former playerNiall Quinn and a consortium consisting mainly of Irish businessmen.[17] Talks were confirmed between Quinn and the club on 28 April,[18] and a takeover fee of £10,000,000 was later agreed.[19] Just days before the takeover was complete, Quinn himself was appointed manager, with the start of the Championship looming.[20] Quinn and theDrumaville Consortium completed the £10,000,000 takeover for 72.59% of the club's shares on 27 July.[21] The pre-season transfer activity started with five signings for Sunderland and three players being transferred to other clubs. They recruited experienced playersKenny Cunningham,[22]Darren Ward andRobbie Elliott forfree transfers.[23][24]Trevor Carson andPeter Hartley were promoted through the club'syouth system.[25] Sunderland allowedKelvin Davis to joinSouthampton for £1,250,000,[26] and former fan favouriteJulio Arca left to join rivalsMiddlesbrough.[27]
AsKevin Ball returned into his coaching role at the club,Kevin Richardson took charge of pre-season affairs.[28] Their first pre-season match was against non-leagueForest Green Rovers, which Sunderland won 3–0 with goals fromLiam Lawrence,Daryl Murphy andDean Whitehead.[29] This was followed up by a 2–0 win againstRotherham United;Daryl Murphy andJonathan Stead were the scorers.[30] Murphy continued his pre-season scoring streak with a goal against Irish outfitShelbourne;Rory Delap scored the other goal in a 2–0 victory.[31] Sunderland finished their pre-season schedule with a 3–0 win overCarlisle United.Jonathan Stead,Liam Lawrence andGrant Leadbitter were the scorers, giving Sunderland an unbeaten pre-season record scoring ten goals, and not conceding any goals.[32]
Sunderland's season started againstCoventry City on 6 August 2006. They had taken the lead with a goal fromDaryl Murphy, but ended up losing the match 2–1.[33] On 8 August, Sunderland signedClive Clarke fromWest Ham United for £400,000.[34] CaptainGeorge McCartney went the opposite way for £1,000,000 after eight seasons at Sunderland.[34] Sunderland's next game was againstBirmingham City on 9 August; they lost the game 1–0.[35] They further bolstered their squad with the signing ofBarcelona B playerArnau Riera for a free transfer.[36] Sunderland continued their poor start to the season with a defeat againstPlymouth Argyle on 12 August. They initially led the match after aDaryl Murphy goal, but finished up 3–2 losers;Stephen Elliott was the other scorer for Sunderland.[37] They recorded their fourth defeat in as many games againstSouthend United on 19 August, being beaten 3–1.Jonathan Stead grabbed a consolation goal late on, but Sunderland went to the bottom of the league.[38] On 22 August Sunderland began theirLeague Cup campaign againstBury who were bottom of the Football League; they were beaten 2–0. Arnau Riera was sent off after making his first start for the club.[39] Quinn secured the signings ofWilliam Mocquet fromLe Havre for an undisclosed fee,[40] andTobias Hysén fromDjurgården for £1,700,000.[41] He also allowedKevin Kyle to joinCoventry City for £600,000.[42]
With prospective managerRoy Keane watching in the crowd, Sunderland and Quinn achieved their first victories of the season. They beatWest Bromwich Albion 2–0 on 28 August with goals fromDean Whitehead andNeill Collins.[43] Keane was appointed Sunderland manager on the same day, signing a three-year contract, withTony Loughlan as assistant manager.[44] On thetransfer window deadline day, Keane secured the signings ofDwight Yorke fromSydney,[45]Ross Wallace andStanislav Varga fromCeltic for a combined fee of £1,100,000.[46] He also brought inLiam Miller fromManchester United,[47]Graham Kavanagh andDavid Connolly who both joined fromWigan Athletic.[48][49]
With a strengthened squad, Keane achieved his first win as a manager over Derby County on 9 September, whenChris Brown and debutant Ross Wallace scored.[50] Sunderland continued their successful start under the new manager with a 3–0 win overLeeds United on 13 September. The goals came from new recruits Graham Kavanagh and Liam Miller while Stephen Elliott grabbed the other goal.[51] Their next opponents wereLeicester City on 16 September. This game was Keane's first at home, and Tobias Hysén scored a goal to make sure they remained unbeaten under him.[52] Sunderland experienced their first defeat under the new manager againstIpswich Town on 23 September. They originally took the lead through aJason de Vosown goal, but were eventually beaten 3–1.[53] They returned to winning ways the next match on 30 September, as aGrant Leadbitter strike lead them to a 1–0 win againstSheffield Wednesday.[54]
During the break for international games, Sunderland allowedRory Delap andJonathan Stead to joinStoke City and Derby County respectively on loan deals.[55][56] They played their next match againstPreston North End on 14 October, where they were beaten 4–1;Stanislav Varga scored the only Sunderland goal.[57] They then met Stoke City on 17 October where they were beaten 2–1 despite having taken the lead through aDwight Yorke goal. Delap, who was making his debut after recently joining Stoke on loan from Sunderland, suffered a broken leg after a tackle fromRobbie Elliott.[58] Sunderland themselves dipped into the loan market, signing left backLewin Nyatanga from Derby County until January.[59] They playedBarnsley on 21 October, and goals fromDean Whitehead andChris Brown earned them a 2–0 win.[60] Sunderland achieved back-to-back wins when they beatHull City 1–0 on 28 October.Ross Wallace scored a last minute goal but was sent off after removing his shirt in celebration.[61] Sunderland playedCardiff City next on 31 October, and were beaten 2–1. Manager Keane said "We were very, very poor. We lost it everywhere – the goal we gave away, our passing, our tackling, our movement; everything really was poor."[62]
