I don't think Speakman's head is easily turned tbh ... ... goodwill at football clubs is determined entirely by results, people would cheer Fred West if he got us promoted.
The problem is 2 fold, a new manager, and giving the mags 6000 tickets to fill the North stand What will our own fans think of this double wammy
Have gave him plenty of credit when it's been due to be fair. I know others have more. But this appointment really has turned a lot of fans from a positive to a negative. There surely is no denying that ?
The club don't get a choice, it's FA rules mate. Not everything at Sunderland revolves around Newcastle, unless you choose to think that way.
Canny kick in the spuds from the club today. Won't be going to the Mag game as with 6k of them its guaranteed to be carnage. I totally resonate with those having to move their seats to accomodate Mags, its a minging decision. Then a seemingly vanilla managerial appointment when it seemed as though they'd be ambitious with it. The club struggle to read the room like.
The club don't need to be moving season ticket holders out of the seats they pay for though. Disgraceful decision.
To be honest, I don't think Speakman is someone most fans even think about, other than on the forum, in my experience, I don't think he has ever been discussed when talking to other supporters before or after matches. KLD on the other hand, yes a lot.
Fair enough, mate. The talksport presenter darts competition started at 14:00 though. As I say, just surprised he'd answer while he's at work on national radio. I've no radio experience personally though so might be completely feasible.
This fan will; 1 judge the manager on what happens 2 accept the judgment of the FA and safety experts
It's a difficult situation and, tbf, those seats don't belong to SC holders on that day. People need to stop being so bloody precious and, if it's such a massive deal, don't bother going. We don't need whiny whingers in the ground imo.
When we took 9k to United in the cup semi we moved their season card holders. It’s always the case in the cup for bigger allocations. If it was at SJP and they only gave us 3k of the 7k we were allowed after promising we’d all use official club busses we’d be furious.
