    Catts and Ndong aside it looked to me like Moyes has lost the dressing room. Nobody seemed to give a toss.
    Thank feck we can kick Denayer back to City next month cause he is absolute dross. If he's the next Vincent Kompany then theres hope for any young lad hoping to make the grade.

    Or in the case of Newcastle players it's Lee Charnley, with a brown envelope, in a service station car park <laugh>

    Most blokes would call waking up to the smell of a woman a gift instead of waking up alone thinking of football.

    Sad tw@t.

    I think we're often the first thing on his mind when he wakes up, ****ing bizarre.

    What I find telling is that I cant seem to remember any of the players coming out and defending or backing our manager. I was all for giving him next season but these past few games has tilted me towards getting rid if we can.

    At least you lot will now appreciate how ridiculous it would have been for us to give him more time.

    Could you not have given him another 2 or 3 seasons so we didn't get him?

    Well we better get used to the idea of him being our manager next season .
    Its not in his DNA to walk away , it took a big club to come calling for him to leave Everton.
    Surely there is no way on gods earth that a big club would touch him with a barge pole now, mores the pity.

    As **** as Moyes maybe, don't forget, the squad is poor, we're riddled with debt so can't even afford to compete in the transfer market. We were always going to go down, sooner or later. Pin all the blame on Moyes at your own peril. We were **** before him and we'll be **** after him.

    Yep, people pin far too much on a manager these days. Quick step back you can see the years of abuse and bad ownership this club has had. Mind you, people will want Moyes out, then the next one then the next one. Because a too many people think the manager is the be all of end all in the success and failure of the a football club. We're not sustainable, so always going down eventually. Don't care who is in change.

    Very low crowds will get rid of moyes. The man is finished at Sunderland.

    You may be right - but very low crowds will stay low even if things change - if 20000 stay away every week and the ground is empty it looks bad - but those people will get used to whatever it is they spend a Saturday afternoon doing and not come back. It's also bad for the club in general as we become less and less attractive to buyers/managers/players.

    Without a Man City style investment we will remain where we are and be a poor team. And there aren't many Sheikh Mansour's out there

    Villa was getting 27,000 when they went down and they been took over.

    New owner and new manager then people would come back. You may not agree but that's the way I see it.

    What you think the crowd will be on Saturday pal.

    That was already in place though with villa.

    I reckon 35000 Saturday - I can't go as I'm gigging up in Scotland but I would've been there if I wasn't. This club means more to me than it's manager or owner - just can;t give them up (sometimes wish I could though!!)

    **** knows but they was up for sale for ages tho

    It's no fun going to the home games at the minute. Don't give a **** what league we in because my best years as a fan have been in the championship but enough is enough with me.

    Enjoy Scotland pal.
