Leeds were getting pretty much that in League 1.
They were still out of the premier league for 12 years.
Having more fans doesn't make you successful.

Hey you obviously are not as confident as Summerbee and his boss SD and CM

I think it is as you said about spending time outside the region and getting a third person perspective that Sunderland really are nothing special in the grand scheme of things. Just like 95% of football clubs mean very very little to anyone other than their own supporters.
We have historical success but nothing real right now and it's been like that for quite a long time.
Johnson's announcement obviously is not going to cause any parties but I don't see the point in people getting so angry about it.
Surely the entire point in having a head coach appointed by a sporting director is that you can fire the coach and hire a new one who fits the same style at speed if things are not going well.
Southampton famously had a list of successors for the head coach role while their current ones were in place.

i think you'd find most fans of a club in our position, having been relegated twice in humilating fashion, in the worst position in our ~150 year history you'd probably find people pretty f***ing hacked off tbh
I dont think 90 per cent of us need a reality check to be fair

4000 different is 'pretty much that'
Leeds are in the Premier League by the way now
I'm sure they will happily concede that 4000 to us

Like i said they're in the Premier League and we are in League One.
But you seem happier because we got 4k higher average league attendance in League One
Like i said about mentality in the OP...

So because we are a 3rd division club, we have to have zero ambition? You need the reality check of the current owners and what they are doing to the club!

We ?
What was the last game you attended?
i've lived abroad for 5 years.
14000 mile round trip is a long way to go to watch a football match.
Although i did do a 12000 mile round trip for a game once
And i was born in Sunderland, so yes: WE
Not saying that.
Need a realistic plan though to move forward as a mid table League One club, with no matchday revenue in the middle of a pandemic

You will never get a realistic plan with the current owners.....We are steadily going backwards, not forward. The incoming manager, makes no sense of getting out of this league!

So no then
You are not regular
Shame on those that agreed with your post
It’s embarrassing
Accept shite & that’s what you will get
We are Sunderland AFC with a proud history & tremendous support
You & your likes can fuck off with reality 3rd tier shite
We should aspire to be back at the top level
Who are you ?

I noticed he referred to the 'Ownership group' in the interview.
I may be wrong, but those seem very carefully chosen words indicating that the takeover is probably done and just waiting EFL ratification.
The fact that we have made this the first appointment makes total sense.
We can't invest in players due to the wage cap, so the obvious next financial investment is going to be in structures, data and relevant staff to help deliver a more sustainable and successful business model for the future via the academy.
For me this is huge forward step from where we have been of late.
In regards to the new manager i have no idea as he hasn't been appointed yet.
When he does get appointed however, i'd assume it's because he has bought into this new model and everything that goes with it.
That will create cohesion not to mention showing U23, youth players and young talent that we are trying to entice that there will now be a pathway to first team football if they are good enough.
