Giving your support to a club who appears to ideologically oppose their own fans

And treat them as a nuisance

I’ve supported Sunderland through thick, thin and thinner and even at its lowest ebb you had the feeling that at the very least you’re part of a movement that wants the same thing, that loves the club, and that represents us as a people

Even when we’re doing shit, that sense has remained that we all want the same thing ultimately even if it’s not happening right now, that feeling of belonging

Once that’s lost, you don’t have a club.

Feels like that’s been eroded away by the shabby treatment over the last year or two (masked somewhat by some success on the pitch) and finally lost yesterday

There is a complete disconnect between owners and bulk of supporters right now. The owners goal is to develop young players and sell them on for big profits, whilst keeping expenses to the bare minimum by selling experienced players who are on good wages, not up-keeping the stadium, and running the club shop and ticket office on a shoestring. Promotion is desirable but not the main goal.

The fans meanwhile expect investment for a promotion push. We want a balanced team of experienced players and young prospects. We don't want to watch our best players being sold the minute a club reaches the owners valuation of them. We don't want the owner to tell us we can't protest sportswashing.
