He's also saying that there should have been more money available to achieve the 100 point target. That's despite saying a couple of month ago that we didn't have a pot to piss in.

Truly is soul destroying. I could barely enjoy the Accrington and MK Dons wins. Everything is laboured and shit.
I've seen us live 3 times this season now due to work and family commitments. I'm actually glad the game is off this Sat, then I miss another 2 whilst I'm in Turkey at the end of the month. I LOVE matchday apart from the 90 mins between 3pm and 4:45pm

Saying that might sound arrogant
It's possible they did just that. RR admitted it I believe, following the podcast with Keiron Brady. To my knowledge there has been no words at all
from the club that this takeover is or was 'done'.
We have quite a bit of power now tbh, probably lacking in pace I’d agree but we have signed loads of players it’s hard to have much sympathy and by now he really should have adapted a style of play to get the most out of the players we have.

BBC Sport and EFL on Quest both reporting over the weekend that Ross is under pressure after another poor result but our own local reporters are too scared to say boo.

I’ve seen us live 8 times, watched Ipswich and Accrington via the web, didn’t follow Lincoln game as knew we would lose. Other than the Wimbledon game it’s been horrendous in every game. Sickening.

Any team getting 30k for home games in Division One should feel a failure for not getting promoted from this Division.
How on earth can any of that be aimed at Supporters?
There is failure somewhere and it starts from the top.

It feels like the prevailing view from the club is that fans are spoiling the vision of mediocrity they’ve set themselves up for. Our job is to just keep handing over the cash. But It’s a results driven business and an entertainment business. I’m not sure how many more years of this we will put up with. If we are not expected to compete in League one, I’m out like.

Tbf mate the crowds are irrelevant as they dont guarantee results. The annoying thing is this halfwit isn't getting the best out if the squad.
Bolton Lincoln and Accrington shoukd have been nervous playing us but sussed this frauds negative tactics.
its nothing to do with organisation and tactics. It’s not that Ross isnt a decent manager.
It’s because our predominantly third division standard footballers dont have the mental strength and the attitude to overcome playing for Sunderland... a premiership club in all but name 30000 people turn up every week with... yes High Expectations ...and these lads half of who are suffering from imposter syndrome run on the pitch as if with lead weights tied to the legs.
It’s the fans fault because if they were not there it would easier.Reality we have not used our status or buying power to put mental strength on the pitch.
Some really bad decisions-
- getting rid of Catts
- Buying 4 very poor centre half’s in first window - both on terms of ability and mentality.
- Selling Maja - madness
- Buying Grigg - madness
- Leadbitter - why
- McGeouch - Zzzzzz
- Wyke
This years buys seem an improvement in form of Willis, Lynch, Dobson and McNulty.
Recruitment has let us down again and the players we have can't take the pressure... sound familiar ?

Yep, even when we win games now it’s difficult to get excited as the performances are usually so insipid and it’s a case of just doing enough to scrape past these teams.

Realistic expectations? We’ve got a 48,000 seater stadium with average gates of 30K, and a Category 1 - elite status academy that’s better than most Premier League teams set up. He can fuck off!

Have to disagree with the funds and thus budget available.
Accrington Stanley around £1.4 million per annum. Paying out £4 million for a panic buy hours from a deadline was absolute madness. Someone should be accountable and the majority want a change therefore can’t believe that the Manager has not been sacked.
Its not the supporters fault that Mcgeoch can't put a tackle in or that De Bock can't play a run of games due to lack of fitness or that Wyke can't jump or shoot or that the manager plays players out of position (in the case of o'nien 3 positions in one game!)
The supporters have been incredibly patient given 2 relegations and failure to go up last year with the players at the managers disposal. Added the crap served up so far this season we have every reason to voice concern, given how many continue to pay their hard earned money to still turn up!
How f***ing dare we expect at least a performance and commitment against Lincoln f***ing city!!

The truth is that throughout many years we have been very timid in our acceptance of trash and our loyalty has been played upon year after year.
The unwashed up the road with their delusional dreams have always been darlings of the media because their dopey fans “deserve better” because of their alleged mistreatment by their owners.
The misconception of those idiots up the road by the media and local politicians has been an absolute disgrace.
We as fans on the other hand have just suffered in silence and have been largely ignored by the media and not been championed by them probably because our behaviour hasn’t been as crybabyish as the undeserved skunks
Nobody wants to act like those sad shop shouters but perhaps we should be more obvious in our disapproval of what is happening at our club
