2 points off top, game in hand. 1 behind Ipswich. Beat a prem team in the cup. Spent nothing in the summer, lost our former prem players.

SACK THE MANAGER!!!! Ridiculous. Ross has hardly lost a game in charge.
Can you honestly say he’s a decent manager and right for us ?We don’t have a “team” just 11 random players cobbled together and told to get on with it .The lack of any style or pattern to our play is a massive worry and always has been since this time last year .

His press conferences are awful as I can’t understand a word he’s saying due to his dour monopitch tone,very uninspiring and I read on here the players think the same .

Need shot ideally before the press conference is announced as we are heading nowhere with this fella.
 
I agree partly with this re Pienaar and the dressing room etc but at that time Khazri and Kone had the lip on and were a disgrace and not deserving of a place in the side as a result. You can’t excuse their role. Other , more limited players at least tried and both players disrespected us, the club and their team mates. Kirchhoff I loved - quality player- but look at him now - unable to get game time due to poor fitness. His fitness under Sam was unsustainable.

Think Kone got the hump because Sam had promised him a new contract and it then got vetoed when Moyes came in and Moyes largely treated Khazri like total shit, although I agree they should have handled it themselves better. Both having a dodgy agent no doubt being involved (particularly in Kone's case) esculating matters as their 'mate' wasn't in charge anymore.

In the cases of Kone and Khazri I think their careers could have been different here had Sam stayed but I think he would have left in the summer irrespective of thr England job as well as it was pretty much when Short pulled the plug.

Kirchoff was never going to be one to last forever but Sam's a good record for the fitness side of the game and got everything he wanted out of him while he was here.
 
Yes. I think it was something to do with inflated ticket prices.
Yeah I was at that game it was a wierd atmosphere some scally asked me and my son if we'd join there protest and walk out with them. Like I was going to pay for train fare,tickets,beer,food ect just to walk out out with 20 min to go
 
Tbf those three signings at the time totally changed us. Moyes came in and fucked Kone off immediately and bombed Khazri out preferring his mate Pienaar who was brought in to take Moyes side as the current players hated him. He also didn't have a clue how to manage injuries and fitness (remember him playing McNair for 60 mins with a snapped ACL) so Kirchoff rarely played, and when he did he was ayes out of position. It could have all been very different for Kone/Khazri if Sam had stayed.

Allardyce got the best of of the players he had and played a way that suited them.

That being said I'm not that interested in him coming back for various reasons I posted last night, and in particular his dodgy agent affiliations.
He was something special, shame he was racked with injuries. Never played much for us, but when he did he he wowed us!
 
Article in Sunday Times speculating the the continuining fallout from the Alverez case may be holding things up

Has that not yet been resolved? Talk of Dr who gave all clear re Alverez dodgy knee being sued by club

So it could be a few months then? Brilliant.
 
The attention seeking on this thread man. :lol:

As if a bunch of ugly virgins off a message board are privy to information on multi-million pound investments. :oops:
There’s only one virgin on this board and that’s the one with multiple accounts that happens to be a racist that wishes cancer on peoples mothers because he didn’t get his own way on Fifa.
 
You can accept poor play when you get a 2-2 draw at Anfield man.

These days your clapping like fuck when we draw at home to oxford and lose 3-0 to peterborough because 'look what we were like 14 months ago'.

Embarrassing beyond belief.
It's baffling. There are a % of Sunderland supporters who seem to want us to be small time. It's a phenomenon that no one can explain.
