Bruce is here to stay....

Get used to it! He will not be sacked after buying 10 players. We are making progress. Stop being bellends and give our club, the players and the manager your backing!
Disappointing couple of results and people are losing it big style.
Keep the faith man it's early days! I'd take our current plight over that of our unwashed friends up the road any day of the week. Couple of good results and we'll be on our way to a higher league position, more points than last year and yet again NE top dogs! Believe.

Football fans are fickle nowadays

One minute they're saying bruce made some good buys in the summer, the next minute they're saying he's bought championship fodder.

Luckily, the people on this board are only a small selection of fans

Its not early days, this is a continuation of the of last season.

Bruce is a decent bloke but if we're being honest he isn't a very good manager.

This board is full of clueless fucking morons who make me ashamed to be a Sunderland fan.

I don't think we're far enough into the season for you to come up with that conclusion. We've played two league games, and one of them we got a good result.

Different people. The pessimists post loads when there are defeats, the more optimistic post when we win.

It's the equivalent to Sing when you're winning (or losing for the more downbeat poster)

... and this continuation has just, just begun ... we've made progress under him every season so far. Sure we could've made even more progress, but I would say he has done the job rather well so far. We also got a much, much healthier squad now than when he arrived - without spending much money,

We've created next to nowt in 3 games, haven't kept a clean sheet. Nee win 3 games. How long will this winless run last? Saturday is huge.

A striker before deadline and some folk will pipe up. But until we beat Barcelona in the Champions league final, Bruce will be a 'fat mag' to the idiots.

How long do we give him then?

I realy, really hope he can get out of this rut better than he's gettin out of others.
