We cannot go back in time repeat it so we must move on. You want to sack Bruce? look what happened when we sacked Reid? do you want a Wilkinson again? We are Sunderland not Barca, I know where we have come from and I know where were going. Let the scum win the day, together we will win the war, just like last season.
Why use a useless halfwit like Wilko to bolster your argument? I'm talking about getting Martin O Neill in who is available, WOULD come in the EPL and wouldn't be a Wilkinson appointment at all.
Bruce has had a chance to impress and failed. The non sell outs have shown what the majority think of his football. I was fully ion board when he came and supported the move but he has lost my support fully now.
You say we have improved but have we really? We have been involved in 2 successive relegation battles under Bruce and only scraped 10th spot with the final kick of the season. Had that Wigan game at home gone awry a few weeks earlier, we may well not be so happy with Bruce as some of us seem to be tonight. If Mick McCarthy had been given the financial support Bruce has enjoyed, would he have been any better/worse? Would Wilkinson?
We are still just a plodding up and down team with little consistency to our team; squad or play. We have players playing out of position all the time, no strikers and no left flank at all. We are not going to do any better than last season without a recognised striker and Gyan isn't a 20+ striker anytime soon either, nor is Sessegnon.
Bruce has had 5 transfer windows to improve us and its no better today. We were abject. Whether he threw the games or whether he is just tactically hapless, either way to be honest, he no longer has my support.
I dont call my fellow fans for sticking with him and if there were no credible alternative I may well still be there with you but in MoN there is a hugely credible and available alternative and I'd sooner see him as our manager than Bruce. Inside 3 years, he had Villa pushing top 4 places and given our foundations now, I reckon in 2 years he could well do the same for us. I dont question Bruce's buys this summer - I think we have recruited well so far despite the lack of Judas replacement - but its the way those players will be utilised that I question.
I think O Neill would get far more from the current squad than Bruce ever will and I'm just sorry to say I dont think that a change will come unless we spiral into a run of defeats early on, that will force the issue and change some fans views. I cant see us as a top 10 team this season at all and fear another Brucie slump could well finish us off this time round.
