S.A.F.C. - the future

Good post that

 

They're a prime example of the 'little dog syndrome' yapping along.

 

Can I just say that @Simonside le bon is a top notch Sunderland fan, very bright, is in a highly professional role, short as **** , and someone you would want on your side in a battle. He isn’t a know nowt, rag tag WUM like they have over there. In my opinion he’s wrong, but he is frustrated as **** watching the club being decimated right in front of his very eyes. A club he has travelled the world to watch and to coin a phrase, there would be “no one happier than him to be wrong” and I know for a fact he would be man enough to admit it. Finally he looks more of a pet shop boy than a Duranny, but there isn’t an estate in Jarrow where he can fit in Neil Tennant as a username.

 

I was hopeful for Poyet, probably more so on the back of the style of football we tried to play when he was here previously. I'm yet to hear what went wrong and why the change of heart (message board rumours aside).

I'm coming around to Johnson and the new structure. It's what we've been crying out to have for years. The bigger picture will be a slow burner, I hope people realise that too.

I'm sure the rest of the appointments and takeover will all fall into place very shortly.

Onwards and upwards!

 

He could be the tennant of any estate

 

When do the clocks go forward.

 

Please please tell me now

 

Does he love you cos ya pay his rent.

 

Any ideas when the takeover may be announced?

 

That’s probably the only way get under 21s in

 

No, it’s a sin.

 

The interview I saw, which was probably the same one, I was impressed how he actually set out the context of the interview at the beginning. He said it's very difficult having to do these interviews straight afterwards as you have to try and balance it with the players, the fans and the owners. More or less saying, you can't just hang the players out to dry but also you have to get the message across, you can't fool the fans by saying it was great when they've just watched it and it wasn't and you've got to give hope to the owners that you've seen it and know you can put it right.
So that example of the strikers you give was exactly that imo, subtlety getting in what they weren't doing and need to do. I was really impressed with the context he gave and then went about it, so far I'm impressed by his words but as we all know, they count for nothing if he can't change it on the pitch. With the right backing though I'm cautiously optimistic.

 

Probably more like Cherry B.

 

It's probably going to get worse before it gets better imo. We just might have to be a little more patient as Johnson tries to get shot of all the ****e at the club and start to mould his own team which will be difficult in fact he might have to wait till the summer when most of them are out of contract. As I can't see any other club lining up to sign the likes of Graham wyke Grigg O'Brien Dobson power leadbitter McLaughlin Flanagan Maguire who are all ****e imo

 

I like your optimism but I don’t agree that Johnson and Speakman are the people to take us forward. I am totally underwhelmed to be honest and that fact that Rodwell, Methven, Donald and Sartori are anywhere near our club is of concern to me.

 

Exactly this. All the players have been coached a certain way to do certain things. It’s not as simple as telling them to do something different. They will have to unlearn the old stuff whilst at the same time learn the new. Some players will pick it up quicker than others. I reckon O’Nein for one will be quick to learn whereas Grigg and Wyke may struggle.

 

Should be within the next 10 days.

 

shortly after our midfield does.

 

Some of them haven't picked up the Parky method yet. One or two haven't been able to follow the Parky or Ross mantra

 

This will quickly get changed by some to Prehab guaranteed it would be done by 16th.
