after all the recent years of shite and disappointment, and now an owner that has no desire to sort us out, im not wasting any more time or energy on worrying about our club. Even if we go into administration and drop this and next year, to hell with it all. Enjoy the good times when they come, but why bother getting worked up over something you have absolutely no control over, and its not as though the players families are going to go hungry either as we are still making them all millionaires whatever they do.
 

Trust in Cookie and the Welsh boyos we'll be getting on loan. Seriously I think we'll be OK. Haway Cookie lad get wheeling and dealing.

Good for you mate.
CC is doing a great job. Not sure of average points so far, it was 1.4 before Barnsley and we had 0.6 points per game before he arrived. That’s massive progress. His team is desimated with injuries, he’s got the transfer window. It was always going to be two steps forwards and one backwards. We just took one backwards but the future is much more positive than it has been for sometime.

So you can chill out, it’s going to be ok
 
Coleman has doubled our points tally in the short time he's been here.

We'd be down already if it wasn't for him.

A solitary win can get us out of the relegation zone.

20 games to go, a transfer window available and a crippling injury list that can surely reduce provides some glimmers of hope.

It's bad, yes, but it's a long way from over.

I'd agree with that to an extent. I can't see how we'll get enough points if we set up at home like he did against teams like Birmingham and Barnsley.

But I think he's clearly a better manager than Grayson. We've picked up more points in our last nine games under Coleman than we did in fifteen under Grayson. The sides around us have started picking up points regularly for teams at the bottom of the table, if they'd have been doing it at that rate all season we'd have been cut adrift because of our first fifteen games. That's not Coleman's fault.
 
Coleman been a big difference already, Grayson dug his own grave by not knowing what tactics, formation to play then throw in not devising the right spine of the team (GK etc) and chopping and changing. As a result Grayson showed he didn't have a plan, had a few injuries but what I can't understand is under Big Sam little or no injuries since he left injuries galore, some in Watmore for example is just plain unlucky but everything else under Moyes and Grayson and that players don't seem as fit to me? Just another thought to throw into proceedings.
Regards to Short he has to back us, not saying millions and millions but a significant backing to Coleman to keep club up, stop the rot and get us prepared with a proper transfer window and rebuild in summer with Coleman. Otherwise whats the point

Who signed Grabban?

Not disagreeing just pointing out when we were 22nd it was all Graysons fault, now suddenly it' all the players fault.

Grayson and his signings put us there. Steele, Ruiter, Wilson, McManaman, Williams, Mcgeady and worst of all Vaughan. The only one with a semblance of credit is Grabban who is a journeyman at best.

I have never felt this low in over 40 years of supporting Sunderland.
Before you give me comments about McMenemy years etc, even then, there was something there, not a lot but I didn’t feel like this!
I am deeply deeply worried like never before. I just can’t see a way out of this mess, from the top to the bottom of the club.
Is there a way back?

The only way back is a huge backing of Coleman during January and around 4-5 signings of decent quality players otherwise we are league 1.

Fact.
