I would imagine that the majority of your polls end in a positive result for safc. Its just the fan bias.


I seen that this too, hence my point.

Why and how he was appointed is crazy.
A like for like replacement. Sick of hearing we have to give him a chance as we have no option.

Happened to me a few times - I'm beginning to wonder whether they get or read questions from the SMB.

I've even tried to ask for a summary of our questions that are being submitted but nothing came of that either.

I understand they have loads of questions to go through but it seems the 'harder' things to fix just don't get asked. That goes for Donald as well. Its (fairly) easy for him to sort out lifts for stranded fans on twitter and get the kudos but the more complicated things get left.

I have contacted Donald about the access and season cards, his Secretary rang me and said things will get sorted but still nothing.

Literally every Sunderland fan who voted for Pearson/Stendel/Phillips/Ainsworth/Cook above him, which was the majority of the fanbase. He came near the bottom of every poll ran on here and in the local papers.

You don't speak for me or anyone I go to the match with. I didn't particularly want him (I ranked him last of the names above) but not for the reasons you state.

People are just impatient in my view. Once the takeover/investment stuff is actually completed I have no doubt in my mind that the owners will talk about it publicly. What people don't understand is that while all of this is going on they really aren't in a position to say too much. I think they've made mistakes but generally they'd done more good than bad as our owners, and they do consider the supporters in a lot of their thinking before making decisions (i.e. I think that supporters noticeably turning against the manager helped them to make a decision on Jack Ross).

Where previously negativity/lies was shut down rather quickly through their 'transparency' in public, the investment stuff has sort of forced them into hiding, and that has allowed this stuff to breed.

The takeover isn’t completed? Well shit if that’s the case why did your podcast say it was?

You’re saying they’ve done more good than bad yet since they bought the club and appointed their mate as the head of the academy the U18s have won once, and U23s have won twice. That’s 18 months and counting.

They bang on about how we have the biggest budget in the league then all we ever heard from Ross was how he had to sell to buy.

They say we’re the most professional club in the division (because obviously everyone who is professional has to say how great they are. Its what makes Donald Trump such a good president), yet all we get from local journalists is that it’s a mess behind the scenes.

The club needed pace, strength and height and has done since day one. We still have no pace, power or height. Meanwhile the head of recruitment goes to a “speed dating event” to sign PL loan players. We end up with a left back from Leeds. And no PL loan players. And the person in charge of all this is still in a job.

Meanwhile we’re as close to the relegation places as we are the top of the table and have been in the top two for about a fortnight. Aye they’re doing a cracking job.

Looks like a much smaller scale than before however, investment is investment and it has to be a positive.

when was it ever large scale except in the minds of some people on here?

conro mcloughlin..a proven experienced and strong player at this level..who made team of season when last in league one at right back..JR plays him left back..
some of the signings have been horific..blame the manager-he is in charge of it-as he said himself..

the most complicated stuff was the huge losses..he has fixed thos.
the football stuff should be easier to fix than that..but he has failed in that regard.

I think differently. The whole episode with the presenter declaring the takeover was complete was just ridiculous as well.

Why won't Donald come on at the moment? He's quick to mouth off when things are going 'well'. Regarding questions from the SMB for podcasts, please ask @Roger to have a sticky thread requesting questions for his next podcast and I'm sure you'll have a few uncomfortable questions to ask Donald.

Be interesting to see how many you actually ask...

SD answered the takeover question on the last podcast..nothing has changed since except people speculating..

when di ross have to sell to buy? who did we sell? honeyman who almost all our fans wanted rid of? they said one in one out for a while, which is related to league rules.
we have the biggest budget in the league..no one spends more on the football department than safc..wycombes whole football department budget is £2m..
we spend more than that on one player..
we have the highest wage bill and biggest transfer spend of any team in this league..
people decde that we didnt spend becuse having a erich owner makes them feel big time-its pathetci and short twermits..
