19/11/16 - 5pm - Protest at the Murray Gates

[JL1985]

Our game has been moved to the 20th.

There'll be no-one left at 4.30 let alone 5.00

Booom tish

 

[Sgt Pepper]

At 5pm I'll either be heading over the bridge on my way to the pub or already in the pub if we've been battered forcing me to leave early again. No thanks.

 

[Bear]

He is responsible for the league position, and that is what ultimately matters.

Good job Short is doing a grand job at ruining the club then isn't it

 

[Cack Stottie]

Something like this is probably needed but it won't happen because we have too many arseholes on this forum that think that everything is a joke.

 

[WiseOldMan]

Here lies the problem, the fans are so attached to Ellis Short they don't want to stand up against him, I know people on here are just a small minority of the Sunderland supporters but when they are against standing upto Short then that tells you everything, they are happy enough to carry on as we are. Short is looking to sell up so he doesn't want to put more money into the club which I can understand but it is him that has let this happen over the years you can't get away from that.

You're still not grasping it are you? The manager we have is irrelevant as long as Ellis Short remains at the club. The reason we are in this position is because of the horrific decisions Ellis Short has made.

 

[Bear]

Short is in full Randy Lerner mode but never mind let's just keep on putting the boot into the manager

Would only protest if we had to endure Moyes style and results all season, only to lead to relegation and he still was manager in the championship. Would be enough to stop me going TBH.

Yeah, he's ruined it in the exact way his critics have wanted him to - by allowing vast amounts of money to be spent.

If England didn't come calling, we woukdnt be in this position IMO and the pressure would be off short. .

Its always magnified when actual football performance is at its worst.

And tripled the clubs debt from £48m to a quite staggering £141m.

All hail Ellis Short.

 

[ErichZann]

After the match!? I go home after the match man.

He made an horrific decision to appoint Moyes (in hindsight), so yes, I agree.

What I don't agree with, is we will fail whoever the manager is as long as Short is here - that is just pure shite.

 

[jarrowdiamond]

If Moyes is still here by then, why don't you change it to a Moyes out protest? It would make more sense.

I firmly believe this is all down to short not moyes. look what he's been given to work with! the bloke has lost interest.

 

[Sister Ray]

Imagine protesting to tell Short he needs to go when he's been actively trying to sell the club cos he knows he needs to go

 

[WHD]

And tripled the clubs debt from £48m to a quite staggering £141m.

All hail Ellis Short.

All the while people like you were screaming for him to spend more.

Are you admitting he has spent way too much?

Allardyce wouldn't have been here whether England called or not, he'd had enough of Short.

 

[Sister Ray]

He has .... Time Short fucked off though he's set the club up for relegation the yank ****

It's all fine and well Short f***ing off but there actually needs to be someone wanting to take us off his hands.

Yeah, he's ruined it in the exact way his critics have wanted him to - by allowing vast amounts of money to be spent.

But a large amount of that money has been wasted because of him?

I can understand the case that he employed MoN (a good manager) and was let down. But appointing PDC? With De Fanti? Then Poyet? With Congerton? Then changing managers often? Employing Dick, then failing to live up to promises, causing him to quit (having signed players)? Failing to invest initially and then spending to plug the gaps? Alvarez? I'd suggest half the debt we've racked up was due to negligence at boardroom level and half due to shit spending by managers. But the idea that poor old Ellis has repeatedly been let down through no fault of his own is hilarious.
