The happy clappers have had their time


Clapped us out of the PL. Clapped us out of the championship.

Clapped a sunderland fan wishing Charlton fans well in 2019. Clapped them after defeats to Lincoln and Luton in the playoffs.

Critical of any fan who dares to say anything against the club. Defended the ownership after KLD was proven to have lied to the fans (those loans been turned into equity yet?)

It’s time for a bit of pressure on the hierarchy. Time for them to see that it’s not acceptable for SAFC to be plying their trade outside of the PL, and their loyal and numerous fans will not accept anything else.

This doesn’t mean change of manager, change of ownership or change of the overall business plan.

It means that our longest spell outside of the PL in history, or hoping to “find form” going into a playoff campaign, isn’t young to be accepted as acceptable.

6 times champions of England, 2 time FA cup winners, 10th in the overall top flight table, let’s start acting like it. Owners, directors, coaches, players & fans. What we’re currently seeing isn’t good enough and it’s incumbent on us all to sort the fucker out.

Next time, before you post a thread that makes you sound like a hormonal 12 year old girl, try taking a couple of these...

I don't perhaps agree with how you've worded this, but I get what you're saying. It seems like we've put up with mediocrity and half-arsed attitudes for too long at our club. We've seen the club stagnate whilst others have absolutely thrived. I mean, you look at some of the clubs that have really kicked on and done something ambitious to really better themselves over the last twenty or so years, whilst we've just bobbed up and down, just happy to survive sometimes. Look at Bournemouth, look at Brighton, look at Brentford, look at other clubs that have been in our predicament when they found themselves in League 1 - Leicester, Wolves, Sheffield United.

All of those clubs are now way ahead of us in the pecking order. Look at clubs like Birmingham and Wrexham, who are showing real ambition and will most likely be in the same division as us next season.
Ask yourself what these clubs have in common.

I'll give you a clue. For four recent seasons we've been where they were.

You talk about us being happy to survive, but in the past 20 years we've been in the Premier League more seasons than any of those clubs.

It took Leicester ten years to get back. Sheff United 12 (including 6 in League 1). Some of them had never been that high up before.


Those clubs were afforded the opportunity to do something ambitious because of where they started from. Your Brightons, Brentfords and Bournemouths have been built from the ground up. Sometimes clubs need that reset. We should never have fallen as far as we did, but we could never have done something like that in the Premier League. Even the scum managed to clear the decks with their last relegation.

And as far as Sheffield United go, I'm not convinced they're trying anything particularly ambitious with a wider game plan. They rode the crest of a wave after promotion from League 1, and they're now bobbing up and down chucking a bit parachute money. They'll be relegated next season.
 
Wow, this is really extra special bed wetting.

We lost a game of football for gods sake……….
Agree but actually it’s more about them winning. On another note I assumed I’d never witness a performance so bad ever again before Sarraday. Was like the bad old days and 3000 of us there shocking
 
May as well fold the club if we're just accepting holding out for a miracle then.

What's the point in any of us discussing this. Should just turn the Prem into a North American style closed shop franchise bollocks league
I wouldn't be too upset if all of the European "oil money" clubs did this and left the rest of us to play properly.
 
I propose a fan wide refusal of acceptance of where we currently are. This season is probably too late to make much of a difference to what happens come the playoffs.

The minute this season ends, the fanbase as a whole should, in my opinion, leave those in positions of power in no doubt that anything other than automatic promotion next season isn’t acceptable.

We have too long gone into seasons “waiting to see what happens” imo. Managerial appointments, transfer business & on pitch results haven’t been under anywhere near as much scrutiny at they have.

I am genuinely baffled by any genuine supporter who accepts us being out of the PL for the best part of a decade.
Absurd. The way people are talking you can just choose to be promoted. There are 23 other teams with the same idea. World has gone mad, full of people who believe they are entitled to this that and the other.

“Accepts” us being out of tge PL 🤣. Tge championship is a tough league and very competetive. The only way out is to get promoted or relegated. That’s sport the word over, those that find a way do. You don’t just choose.
 
I remember being in the East Stand as Bent rifled in that goal for Burton that took us down, swearing my head off and probably not far from being ejected (don't threaten me with a good time etc)...

People behind me literally going just as nuts at my reaction and they even stayed to clap off our players. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I've probably not made my point well at all here - but what I'm trying to get at is our fanbase is infested with apathetic mouth-breathers who couldn't give a fuck if we were relegated the next 7 seasons - because they still support 'The Lads' and are happy to do so irrespective of anything. Tragic state of affairs.

It may be time for you to stop watching football for a bit mate, your posting history does suggest that your mental health is in a really bad state.

Newcastle victory on the weekend seems to have shredded the last vesitges of it.

What a load of utter horse shit
 
What a load of utter horse shit

Which part of it is utter horse shit please, darling?

I know you and many other posters live such tedious existences you have no option but to resort to making up lies on the internet. I'm not one of them people. Hope this helps!
 
I want fans to stop being so accepting of mediocrity. I am sick to the back teeth of reading comments on here, and social media, about the fact we used to be in league one or we finished 16th last season.

None of that should be relevant to the here and now. There’s been 6 transfer windows since we got promoted.
Don't forget we have the youngest team in the division, so you can't expect them to get promoted.
Also, if we fail to get promoted the worldbeaters will be sold and we'll recruit more 18 year olds who will again be part of the youngest team in the division.
Repeat, repeat and repeat again.

Remember the Burton game well. I was about 15.

I asked me fatha during that week before the game how he thought it would pan out. He got it spot on - the whole ending. I couldn't believe it but of course he had seen this all before and based his prediction. on - "just how typical can Sunderland be when they go down".

Seem to remember it was a lovely day as well?

We were down Sunniside having a few pints before the game and I think our general consensus was Bent would be the difference too.

Was lush aye. I took myself out for the day. I had a horrible feeling it would be Bent and decided not to sit and watch us get relegated.

Loads clapped the players off on Saturday...baffling. There was a few skirmishes between our fans at thise clapping and those taking a dislike to it.
 
Nobody has a right to play in the Premier League just because they won things years ago. Fan base sadly doesnt count for much anymore as it used to be the main source of income but now it is miniscule compared to the tv incomings and other sponsorships.

Leeds were out of the prem for 16 years, forest over 20, and theres us demanding to be back just a few years after nearly going bankrupt and owned by some lads who have went on to run eastleigh and oxford....

Frustration and ambition both play a part, but this post is just toys out of the pram mentality. We are currently in the playoff positions im not sure what kore we could want given the severe financial advantage the 3 above us have currently
