Thank **** for all the out of contracts, coz we wouldn't get offers for most of them.
Disappointing but not too disappointed
There is an opportunity to go with younger players next season, build a team good enough to get out of this league and to grow and form the core of the team in the championship.
The question is will the club be brave enough to do it or will it just recruit slightly better league 1 plodders

It's crazy to think that I wouldn't be arsed if a 30 goal striker ****ed off for nowt, but strangely......I would give a shiny ****e.
Went fans fault because I didn't realise I could get rid of players and manager
Interesting interview from LJ on Sky talking about having a good youth side and academy. He mentioned it early in the interview
Logic suggests that 3 choices should be allowed 'cos 1, 3 and 6 is applicable for me (with a slight variation 'cos it's not all down to Johnson) 
It's the Sunderland way, suck you back in and then **** you over
biggest summer in the clubs history, need to get it right no excuses this season
we got the owner and money now
We've got the structure

I didn't chose 6 in my response cos I would do anyway.Logic suggests that 3 choices should be allowed 'cos 1, 3 and 6 is applicable for me (with a slight variation 'cos it's not all down to Johnson)
Aye, he relied so much on our youth players at key moments didn't he!
Only voted for getting rid of the players. Think it's too early to get rid of Johnson, but I'm not convinced he'll get it right under the new owner, so couldn't go for that option.
I'm really hoping that we'll get rid of Johnson and bring in some foreign genius that Cyril has already lined up and already suits a new style (data ****e etc.), tactics and motivation 
Haven't seen the interview yet, so difficult to comment just hope it's not kind words and platitudes and that he does actually try using some of the kids. He did do so in the cup competitions to an extent but seemed loathe to do it in the league until he almost had to. I can understand a manager going with senior pros it's the safe choice I just think we need to be a little braver
What was that famous comment again... you don't win anything with kids
I've been torn on this but I've decided on balance LJ just about gets to stay. Which itself is a reason for him to go. But I think he will and should stay and get a chance to build an entire team this summer
Next 6-8 weeks should be fun.

Busy busy busy. It will start on Monday I reckon, no hanging around
Would love to see KLDs blue print for next season, can LJ be persuaded to start 3 or 4 of our rising starlets and surround them with seasoned pro's who won't be bullied as we have been for the last three seasons.
Stewart is nailed on as our CF and I can put up with Burge as keeper, albeit with a settled back four in front of him cos it can't have been easy with all the injury issues we've had.
Interesting few weeks ahead hope it starts at 9am Monday.
Finally think Blackpool will have too much for Lincoln.

None of the above just got to trust the new owners. They have a plan let’s see if it works
I think this close season will be very interesting and very busy
Plenty to talk about and digest it certainly won't be boring
