Takeover Rumours

Considering the downward spiral we were on before the new owner and manager I thought he worked wonders.. Every club he has managed has improved year on year, but I fear that with all the crap being thrown his way, his job here is going to be so much harder..
Given the resources he had and the players at his disposal 5th was pretty poor. The performances were poor and dull.
 
The old saying, “play it by ear”. Think that’s how they’ll handle Jack Ross. You can’t defend the bloke after some of the stuff put up against him in this thread, he’s shown himself to be limited.

The recruitment staff, along with scouting, needs major additions, with an overhaul in ambition and size.

Think it’s odd that our fanzines and fan blogs have such a defensive attitude towards our managers....
Personally I reckon the die is pretty much cast for this season. I don’t think we’ve got the squad for better than playoffs and I’m not sure that league rules and club structures will allow sufficient work to be done in January to change that. I’d rather we spent the rest of the season getting the football structures right ready for next summer. In the meantime we can work out if it was a Ross issue or a Donald one that has brought us to where we are. If we get lucky along the way then all the better. Right now - whilst we’re ‘too big’ for our division we should do what we should have done during summer 2018 - make ourselves structurally ready to move through the leagues.
 
I retract my previous comment. The thread has gone to absolute shite now. Aye ok we sticking with Ross initially, and im sure he will have pressure to perform or be relieved of his duties. Yeah we have been shite for months now, im sure they will be mindful. However we are still being taken over by BILLIONAIRES !!!! Lets enjoy this rather than twisting about the manager. 🤑🤑🤑
 
I always thought if something big happened at safc then our fans would act in a classy manor without visions of stroking bullocks and grandeur.
I was wrong, we have an utter set of spenk a especially on here, fair enough get excited but some of the comments about incoming and present managers are pathetic And embarassing

Some of the f***ing bell ends on here don’t deserve this takeover mate. Sat here shaking my head at a lot of these comments from all the usual suspects.

Embarrassing.
 
I doubt these new owners are the type to make rash decisions but Ross will know he has to impress and he'll have very little room for excuses. It'll be December before we know it and a whole new set up could be in charge by then if he doesn't get that squad playing with some real intent in the next few weeks.

Ferk that we need to be out of this shitty league as a matter of urgency.

Every club has improved year on year? That's a kind way of looking at it imo.

Yes, win percentages have improved but, firstly, he's never had more than two seasons at a club, so year on year is pushing it a bit. Of the clubs he's been at:

Alloa : he was only there December 15 to October 16. Win percentage did improve in the short bit of the second season he had, but they had been relegated after the first season (no suggestion it was his fault) so you'd expect that, most clubs get a better win % the season following relegation!

St Mitten : yep, good example, he did well in 2016/17 to keep them up and then, in the same league, their win percentage massively improved and he took them up. No argument, that one season was very impressive.

SAFC : bit too early to tell about his win percentage, be worth revisiting later in the season if he's still here to see if it's improved significantly from last season

So basically there's one season where you can really show huge improvement. The first one was improvement in a lower league which you'd expect, and he didn't exactly keep it going all season as he left a couple of months in, and its too early to tell here yet. And he's never had 3 seasons anywhere. So "every club has improved year on year" seems a bit misleading

Jack Ross will be under enormous pressure to get us playing well and into the top two. He will be well aware of the feelings towards him, as he said after the Burnley match. I'm not sure he can step up to another level unfortunately.
 
Me too sadly.

Managed to get loads of friends n family great tickets, lovely weekend, gifted a lead then completely fecked it up. Standard sland.
As irritating as the phrase is, it is what it is. This might be the tart of something special.

Which is fair enough, I think most would agree. But...2nd half performance in the cup, that's JR's doing.
Play off performance....again. Mr Ross.

We've spent fuck all this summer. So, I go back to my earlier comment about flipping the club. Imagine if we didn't have new investment. Would that be when Mr Sartori got involved? His Father in law? ONLY! Once we got promoted.

I'm not in the "Ross Out" gang. Forget last week, that was...I don't even know what that was. As it's Sunderland though. We will go on to win all of our matches for the rest of the season!
