The happy clappers have had their time


Well let’s just say if the mags were out of the PL for as long as we have been do you think they’d be just as accepting as we have been?

They got relegated from the PL, had a “boycott”, Ashley invested 70m and got promoted the next season. They then ran at a profit until the takeover and will likely not be relegated for the next 50 years.

We look at our accounts and say “we lost 8 million” as an excuse to have half arsed attempts at getting promoted.

No idea mate because they spent to get out of it and I think clubs and finances have moved on since then. Didn’t help that we were never able to use our own parachute payments when we went down.
 
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.

I mean in 5 years the ownership and sporting director have overseen 3 playoff campaigns to date, 1 successful. 1 more playoff campaign likely to come this season and we won a tinpot trophy which meant the players got to eat some free pizza. Signed some good players mind they did sign some garbage so I'll give you that.

Put pressure on the hierarchy is a bit much isn't it?
 
For a start, we stop this woe is me attitude that we can never compete at the top of the championship because some teams have parachute payments.

Following that, we can move on and stop using the fact that we dropped to league one, or let a league one manager take us to 16th in the league, as an excuse for where we are now.
That’s still not doing something. That’s your emotions, not mine. What do you suggest we DO to get what you want?

I don’t think you’d have posted that if Liverpool had won

It’s not the hope I’m losing, it’s the interest. I just think we are nothing more than a rich kids plaything. Something for him to indulge in when his supercars and yachts get boring.

If he was serious he would have invested massively in January and went for it.

He didn’t. Once again we have pursued the cheap option, hoping some of the turds we signed in the summer can be polished.

The writing is on the f***ing wall, we aren’t getting promoted. But still the clappers lap it up as it’s been a “good season”.

A good season for a club like Sunderland in this division is to get promoted. Anything else is failure.
 
We're likely going to qualify for the playoffs when few fans expected us to at the start of the season, why would anyone want to protest/rock the boat now of all times? We need to get behind the players, they need our support, complaining isn't going to help at all.
 
What are we meant to do, mock funerals, shout at some shops 😂
I don't know maybe use RAWA to put pressure on the board, by sending e mails for them to pass on along the lines of, evening old bean its been 8 years now, when do you think the time is going to be right for a run to the premier league, just interested when the club think that is. simple easy and will take 5 to 10 mins of folks lifes.

Wow thank god the majority of Sunderland fans aren't you. The Saudis winning a trophy has destroyed you 😂😂😂😂😂
 
Well you are passionate and you clearly give a shit, I’ll give you that much.

I know many disagree with me on here, and I’m fine with that. I don’t come on as a WUM, despite many posters attempts to portray me as such.

I genuinely, passionately and feverishly despise seeing SAFC out of the PL. If we get there, and I’ve said this before, you will not see me complaining.

All I want is to see the club get back to where I think we belong, and I will argue till I’m blue in the face with anyone who disagrees.

I’d also buy that person a pint, because they’re a sunderland fan and I think sunderland fans are salt of the earth, whether they agree with me or not.

But that sort of goes back to my point, we went down, our parachute money was taken away and we just carried on like nowts a matter. We were that shell shocked we all celebrated Donald coming in and suggesting BBQs on the pitch as we replaced our own seats

To protest at the end of a season where we have bettered expectations would be madness i agree
