Spirit of 37 - display v Newcastle

The order had to be submitted on Tuesday. The club gave us approval on Monday for the original plan, then retracted it on Tuesday night.

The COO approved it, then the chief marketing officer and chairman got involved and suddenly it wasn’t approved.

Multiple people on 6 figure salaries and not one of them can make a decision on their own. They’re sackless.

What a disgrace.

I believe that he never knew. Someone else at the club gave the go ahead then said wait let me just check with KLD. Word came back can we be more pro-sunderland? Slight alteration. Then final word of no, we can't have that.

I get why, but a bit of a frightened opportunity missed I feel.

I dont get why. Well I do. He doesn't want to upset our saudi neighbour owners.

Honestly, this has annoyed me more than giving them the full end behind the goal. The club have literally bent over backwards to accommodate them rats.

The owner has subsequently stopped us from sending a message about our nearest rivals.

He's then allegedly refused to pay a few quid to bring in an exciting new manager. And instead has overseen what on the face of it looks a rank awful managerial appointment.

He's a genuine disgrace to this great club.

Like many others I contributed to this and really don't think you should be putting a display on now. Leave it for another game.

Having being a little bit pleased when KLD made his 'donation'....at the time, it did feel a bit uncomfortable. That said, i naively thought it meant he was thinking the same as we mostly were....that we wanted to make a stand for what we all believe. Hindsight is a wonderful thing....but looking back, i feel a bit hoodwinked.

When something like this happens its easy to think we should have known better. Not true. Better to think the best of people rather than be suspicion. Thats life. But once bitten twice shy. Wont be putting my trust in him again.

Well done spirit of 37. Keep up the good work. dont give up. Next time, lets do it on our own. But dont let this experience stop us. FTM and KTF

Fantastic post, well said and sums up how I feel too. So disappointed in our owners but I was naïve to imagine they would act any differently.
