manager. his resignation today follows the club's relegation from the premier league. yesterday's 5—1 defeat to chelsea at stamford bridge his last in charge. but the end of their ten year stay in the top flight their ten year stay in the top flight was confirmed when they lost to bournemouth last month. short statement from sunderland confirming that david moyes has resigned. he has not taken compensation, something say that sunderland is testament to his character. david moyes has said in the
6:33 pm
statement, thanking sunderland and saying he wishes the players and his successof saying he wishes the players and his successor all the very best in their effo rts successor all the very best in their efforts towards promotion next season efforts towards promotion next season but it will not be david moyes who is leading that effort, it will be a new manager. perhaps we should not be surprised, david moyes himself said that his side were in a relegation scrap after only the second game of the season, it seems he was resigned. the noises around sunderland gave rise to that pessimistic air, one of the criticisms that has been levelled at david moyes, that after saying in august that they were involved in eradication scrap, with ten days still remaining of the transfer window, many believe the tone was set early on, that did not change through the season, injanuary, he told fans, through the media, that any signings that were brought in would not really do anything to
6:34 pm
change sunderland's situation, and so it proved as the season wore on and they were relegated with a number of games to go before the end of the season. david moyes himself refused to say whether he would stay on, it seemed it would not matter about how much money he would have, how much cash there would be for restructuring, after talks with ellis short, the american owner of sunderland, it is clear that reassu ra nces have sunderland, it is clear that reassurances have not been given and he has walked away from the club. joining me now is the former chelsea winger pat nevin. let's look at the sunderland statement in relation to the departure of david moyes. speaking that the decision, interesting from the chairman, ellis short, is quoted as saying, i
6:35 pm
pursued the services of david moyes for a considerable period prior to his appointment, that makes this decision particularly hard to make, do you believe in? do you think this was a case that it was always going to happen? it was always going to happen but it would always be from david moyes's side, short statement from short, and probably a short discussion they had, the reason being, when david moyes took the job, i think he was sold a pup, given assurances that there was money to spend in the first transfer window. that money was not forthcoming and no more money for him in the second transfer window, injanuary, him in the second transfer window, in january, he him in the second transfer window, injanuary, he did not hide it that he was disappointed with that, if you're going to be trying to be competitive in the premier league in any you must be able to get players m, any you must be able to get players in, particularly, a number of injuries, very unlucky, but he must have had that discussion with ellis short and thought, no more money, i'm afraid, no for david. table is
6:36 pm
grim reading for sunderland fans, really, the damage done throughout the season, winning just six of 38 matches, which saw them finish bottom, relegation was confirmed.|j went to see sunderland quite a lot for the bbc, six or seven times at home i saw them, every time i saw them, they were a different system, different personnel, lots of people would suggest he did not know his best team, no, he was trying everything he possibly could. he came to the understanding in the end that they were not good enough, the players were not good enough, there was not a deep squad, there were not funds to be held, i don't care who the manager was, they would have beenin the manager was, they would have been in that position in the league at the end of the season whoever it was. sunderland was meant to be a perfect fit for him, somewhere he could rebuild his career, but not so. some other football lines to bring you and the fa has asked betting operators for information about the bets they received in relation tojohn terry's substitution yesterday.

the olympics. —— head of the international paralympic committee. it was an unprecedented decision that they took, setting up a task force and saying that reinstatement, the lifting of the suspension would only happen once the task force was satisfied that certain reinstatement criteria had been satisfied, for example, the resumption of limited testing allowing international testers to go into closed cities, some of the far—flung cities far away from moscow where they say state—sponsored doping had been taking place. what they really wa nted taking place. what they really wanted to see was cultural change. today was an update by the ibc, they say that in some areas, there had been progress, they were pleased with what the russians had done. —— ipcc. but they say that while the plan was good, they were yet to see action. —— ipc. they say that they
6:40 pm
are issuing the russians with one final warning before pyeongchang. the thing is that we have already stated today that we have not seen sufficient progress for them to be reinstated. therefore, the consequence of that, if not reinstated, they would not be in pyeongchang. shouldn't they be punished, properly, for what the final mclaren report showed, which came after your initial suspension, asa came after your initial suspension, as a deterrent? i think they are very fully aware of what they need to do, we can go down the punishment route, all we can go down the far more positive root of getting things fixed. everybody knows that what they did was... das diddley, any word you would wish to use for it, why did we have to react in the way
6:41 pm
that we did? —— dastardly. but we will maintain that action until we see concrete change. to miss one would—be bad for russia, to miss two, would be very bad indeed, russia topped the winter olympics medal table in such a, it would go down badly indeed, the ibc will give russia until september, if they have not then seen the cultural change they have asked for, then the ipc say that it will be very unlikely that they will be there. they have also confirmed today that it is almost certain that london will be out —— russia will be out of the london championships which take place in a couple of months. the former moto gp champion nicky hayden
