Not only the first team manager position but the U23’s being managerless has gone completely under the radar. I completely forgot they didn’t bring in a replacement for dickman. The man is an absolute clown.
 
I’d be genuinely amazed if he’s appointed now. I really hope they’re coming across more organised and competent behind closed doors than in public because there’s no way he’d take this job otherwise.

And the problem is, if he’s not appointed, the board have completely fucked it and good will will be hard to restore. Another season in league one with a merry go round dullard will break the will and resolve of thousands.

And with our nearest neighbours obviously going to splurge, revamp their academy and have a real go, a generation of young supporters and prospective players will be lost.

Go through the processes though lads eh. Nee rush

It pains me to say it but I think it's too late now even Keane won't get us up this season with this team.
Give him what he wants and start from scratch next season that's if he still wants it.

I was talking more about understanding that not all of the gate money ends up in the club's coffers.

Based on progress over the last 5 years, another season in league one will lead to a season in league two.

I am sitting here bemused - I didn't see it tonight I was playing tennis but my form on the court reflected my mood

I know some people know more behind scenes than others but some serious shit has gone on somewhere. 6 weeks ago we might not have been setting the world alight but we were ticking along, Now look at this a collapse worthy of an England Ashes team. Players look half hearted, coached being asked to be completely out of their depth, a director of football now showing why he was only an Academy director beforehand, no manager, rudderless - I don't think I have ever been so low watching Sunderland (and I am normally optimistic). In my mind and I would love to be wrong I have completely written off this season. A very sad state of affairs to be honest

Thats me apart from I watched it rather than being a fit bit playing tennis ;)
 
Posted this in another thread but this really sums up how I feel atm


The life has sucked out the club. Monday night everyone was buzzing with Defoe coming and potentially Keano, the best thread ever on here. If Keano comes in, there’s 48k there and everyone is pulling in the same direction.

I feel like the curtain has been pulled back and instead of Oz, it’s Cûntman fuckin Rogering a dwarf in a safc shirt up the arse.

Arrogance and incompetence are a potent mix for someone in Speakmans position. Safc and it’s supporters suffer as a consequence, imo.
 
I just get the feeling that KLD hasn't got the financial clout we think he has they know if Keane comes in it will cost money & I'm not convinced he wants to spend it
