Calmed down, an honest reflection...

I suspect a new owner will want his own man.

The only way of getting out of this division is some new ideas and 4/5 new first team players, I’m certain that’s what the new man will think

If he's still here, JR will be under huge pressure from the get go next season.

A slow start to the season will not be tolerated from the terraces.

If that happens I hope it’s in the next two days and a proper sort out.

Given the off field bullshit then more likely to drag into July with another takeover and then a new manager.....? Horrendous. :cry:

Blue print is to win games by more than one goal ! No more hanging on !

That would be a start

apart from leadbitter s shot he had fk all to do !
Let that sink in to all those who want to stick with a negative manager!

Might be irrelevant but imagine want Sam allardyce would have done in that situation

We’ll see, I’m sick to death of the changes and we should try sticking for once. We should also look into the aforementioned physical attributes of players.

Out of interest, of the sacked managers which would you have stuck with in the past 10 seasons?

I think it’s more the fact of employing a manager and installing a long term plan in the first place. Such was the club’s desperation to stay in the PL that every appointment was a short term fix to stay up and when the following season didn’t pan out as hoped they were sacked.

I’d have definitely kept Coleman though but the change of ownership put pay to that.

Before anyone says I’m not a bedwetter, a doommonger or a mag, just a disappointed fan.

The season’s been a disappointment, poor football against poor teams and two more trips to Wembley with once again nothing to show for. The only good teams in the division have ended up going up with the rest left to reflect on a poor season.

I honestly thought at the end of August when we were doing what most fans expected, easing past teams, that we’d piss this league but a poor September followed and a lot of the optimism gained by the good start began to drain away. We struggled to beat very poor sides, relegation fodder, and our inability to put teams away after scoring first came back to haunt us late in games.

Performances were laboured, attacking was very slow and predictable and besides McGeady and Maguire we had very little creativity. Losing Maja was a blow but losing one player shouldn’t define a season, Charlton lost their joint top scorer and Barnsley lost a couple of key players, neither were afforded the luxury of replacing them with a £4m player.

We were scoring in every game but when your leaking goals continually one goal isn’t enough, balls into the Sunderland box seemed to cause absolute panic in defence and a lot of soft scrambled goals followed. Since September we only really hammered 1 team and convincing wins were few and far between. The truth is we were getting by but all the signs were there that it wouldnt last. At the same time Luton were seemingly hammering everyone in sight by playing open attacking football, now there’s a novel idea!

1 win in the final 7 league games and 1 goal from open play in the last 4 games showed we were on our arses. Whether that was down to fitness, tactics or losing McGeady is debateable but it doesn’t bode well for next season. Big decision now for Donald and co. Do they stick with Ross or go for yet another management change in what has become a bad trend.

can’t argue with that fella
 
I’ve never felt this despondent about my football club.

In all my 40 years.

This is the worst moment for me.

It’s unbearable that we have to go through at least another season in this division.

See what Sally says above mate. Different circumstances resulting in understandable sackings over the last 10 years - scary when you think about it. I wouldn’t have stuck with Coleman either, seems a great guy, not so sure about ability.

I get what you're saying but just as detrimental is letting Ross have the summer budget with the idea he may be sacked by October which would leave the next manager inheriting a squad that is not his, starting the viscous circle again.

Tough one isn’t it?!

Honestly don’t know, just glad it’s a decision for someone else to make.
 
Ross OUT!

What sticks in my craw is that 2 games ago he said “teams are finding it too easy to score against us, we’ll have to sort it out “, after the useless bar steward has had a full season to do just that.

Get him out. He said he would take us up at first attempt, and we finished FIFTH!

I will carry his bags and leap over Hadrians Wall

I’m not bitter, gutted, inconsolable or anything like that ....much
 
An absolutely pathetic outlook today. Imagine dedicating your life to football, learning your trade as a player and then as a manager, getting the biggest gig of your career, getting to a Wembley final and deciding that shutting up shop after 10 minutes to defend a one goal lead is the right thing to do. I know next to nothing about football but was tearing my hair out at what I witnessed today. The manager is a bottling loser who deserves nothing more from the game.
 
yep, even when we won we rarely played that well which was posted time and time again on here.

just watched the game again and we were so poor. lobbing long balls up to wyke or down the channels and when we did try to play a passing game we just couldn't make those passes stick. add to that our defending for both goals was very poor, particularly the 2nd where everyone was ball watching and left their 2 players unmarked at the far post.
charlton weren't much better but at least they were more direct.
