At least after the next defeat there won't be a questioning of what he actually does and the subsequent outright blaming of everyone from the backroom team down to the tea-lady.

Of course it will be someone else's fault - but not him anyway.

Surely not one aspect of the football club has been run 'successfully' in recent years.

New CEO realises this and sweeps out those that haven't performed. That's life basically.

You would have to take some large leaps to claim Sunderland AFC have been relatively 'successful' commercially compared to clubs of a similar, and indeed smaller, size in recent years.

Or am I missing something?

I don't know if we could have performed better commercially or not - only those at the club would know that. I was just making the point that somehow after a defeat someone would post questioning everyone and everything even those not purely football related.

There was an analysis of our true shortcomings in the financial area posted not long ago which stated that our true shortfallings were in the transfer market and our lack of profit on transfer outgoings compared to inlay - Newcastle spent £70 million last year and got relegated - someone then paid £30 million for Sissoko and £25 million for Wijnaldum - go figure

If anyone asked me what could have been done better then I could say for certain the scouting/acqusition of players.

Why would only those at the club know how we've performed well commercially? Doesn't our commercial growth show minimal growth in the booming Premier League?

Anyway, he's gone. One of the most unpopular directors at the club ever, a club who in my lifetime have had generations of unpopular people at board level.

Must be incorrect as Rodwell is still at the club

What has been the growth of similar clubs? How does our commercial income compare?
