I'm back to being 100% happy clapper

I know there are concerns about Lee Johnson being a smug twat and also concerns about his results - sometimes great, sometimes crap.
But I 100% wanted a management team that would invest in youth and develop our young players - it looks like we have got that.
I am old enough to support a winning team - 73 was a fantastic year.
In all my times following the lads, one of my favourite times was the Elliott-Arnott-Rowell era born from a disaster.
They did brilliantly even if they did fall short of what I hoped they would have achieved. Does not stop them being absolute Sunderland legends.

The smug twat comments remain my only reservation: but I will live with that if great footy is now coming back our way.

I like your optimism but you seemed to have forgotten that Stewart Donald sold a whole generation of talent. Had they appointed Speakman when they came we may have been looking at the next Rowell/Arnott/Elliott but Donald pocketed a couple of million and shipped out 8 or 9 great prospects. Didnt want to piss on your chips but thats the reality.

Johnson wouldn't be who I'd have chosen but I'm happier with him in charge rather than Parkinson. As @The Cabbage has said Speakman is the big appointment and clear shift in how the club want to work.

You've probably summed up my feelings on it. Aside from the youth stuff I think Johnson will be more attacking than Parkinson and won't defend 1 nil leads.
