It’s not fun. But soul destroying? Haway you don’t believe that do you honestly? We had some brilliant times, games etc. Not enough but give me playing in the prem any day over this shit.

No of course not. This isn't about a monopoly on misery mage. I see our situation now as similar to yours a few years back in terms of essentially hoping for 17th.
And whilst I wouldn't swap places, it only takes a few seasons and who's to say we won't have?
Then you will cry for seasons like you’ve had recently in the prem.

Yes I can see that happening too mind. Just have to see. I'm going to wait to hear what the new match day experience is like myself before I return to the SOL.
Yeah there's high points and great days, but that's mostly from your mates being around you (for me anyway). I don't look forward to match days for the game anymore. And I don't feel I'm in a minority in that. Which ultimately is not good as a fan to feel like that.
Aye, it's all relative.

I used to always look at the prem to just stay up and to then try and push on in the league and fa cup. Used to really annoy me when we’d go out early doors or play a rotated team.
He needn't worry, think we are going to have very large, visible gaps. But I'm sure there'll be a few who are worried about it and don't return straight away. Shame as he's had a season ticket for over 40 years.
100%. Give me a cup and relegation any day of the week.

Something tells me he won’t be offering his services to talk sport anytime soon. Jordan will have him in circles again.

The worst mate.
They’d get 10k in div1. The rest would have killed themselves. Wet blankets

That's nonsense. Some seasons we were aiming for 16th.
No obviously not.
People can be unhappy even if there's somebody else worse off. Would Sunderland want to swap places with Bolton or Bury? No.
You can still want better for your team and be unhappy with it wherever you are. It could be worse for us, but also could be better. Could be worse for Sunderland as well.
If I want more money or a bigger house than I've got, but just because there's people poorer than me doesn't mean I'm not allowed to be unhappy with what I've got

Any takeover you get from now won’t be deemed good enough from the unwashed deluded amongst your fan base.

That’s true. And if someone did take over will they be asking the question of ‘what’s the plans for the investment in the region’ seeing as it was so important with the previous attempt.
After a false sniff of Awab Trillionaires instead of "anyone but Ashley", the next owners are likely to feel very unwelcome even if very well-heeled.
That's why people need to move on. Not that long ago it was anyone but Ashley, now the narrative has changed and a section of our fanbase are being totally and completely played, and are falling for it hook, line and sinker.

yes, and it’s quite funny how they are being brainwashed
