Once you lose the fans...

[thamesvalleyman]

With a few wins and good football, with the players giving it a go , then the atmosphere will be less toxic than it is at the moment.
I think a lot will take more convincing tho.

You are right, a few wins and good football paints a totally different aspect on it.

But neither of those look like happening anytime soon. Genuinely can't see where the next win is coming from. And for League One that is a disgrace.

We can safely say that the whopping 2.1% who did want PP appointed were blithering idiots, obviously including the SAFC board.

And of course, some of these would be Mags

I remember SD saying to Ross, once you lose the Sunderland fans it is very difficult to turn them back onside. Then he goes and appoints a Manager who the supporters were very much against.
People were split on Ross with even at the end some rose tinted still believing he was right.
But PP was coming bottom of every poll amongst the supporters
Surely he went against his own advice?

Have to agree.
Once the majority turn it usually marks the end.

This manager has never had the support, it's unlike any other manager in my time. I can even remember people singing Sgt. Wilko's Red and White Army a few times back in the day.

 

[safcforever]

Im sure its happened loads of times

There’s very few managers that haven’t been sacked

 

[Tin Soldier]

Didn’t SD say that the Americans were not interested in owning the club and were only looking for investment?

Who knows what to believe JR said he met the new owners ffs !!! SD is f***ing lost

 

[Geronimo]

Agreed.

Only 1 named. Ferguson.

But it's happened "loads of times" apparently.

Let's say "loads of times" is 10 - purely arbitrary.

Let's see if we can name 10 managers who lost the crowd and went on to be successful at that same club.

I’m struggling to name another. I mean it probably has happened maybe 5 times

The percentage must be 0.001 at best.

 

[DJM]

Where have all the fans gone?
Long time no passing.

It’s got fuck all to do with the supporters who they appoint, the choice is theirs, as owners of the club they can run it as they like.

I wouldn’t trust the majority of our supporters to run a bath never mind try running a football club.

Come on, even on Millionaire when they ask the audience there is always 2-3% that go for the stupid answer

If you're referring to Alex Ferguson he was sacked by St Mirren.
