    I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt but I’m allowed to be disappointed with it, I would love nothing more to be wrong about this and I hope to god I’m being quoted to **** in the summer when promoted

    Very true and if it ends like lots and lots of people are suggesting then it's on KLD and Speakmans head.

    We just have to buckle up and enjoy the ride

    Far and away the best owner I've ever seen at Sunderland.

    100%

    It's possible they've got it wrong. It's also possible they've got it right. People slagging the man off (and the club) before he's even appointed is beyond embarrassing.

    We all thought Mowbray was a poor/terrible/uninspiring appointment and look how that turned out

    It's doesn't look like it's going to be an appointment we were hoping for but after the last few appointments I suppose they seem to know what they want. It's taken a little of the gloss off a great week but hopefully tomorrow the players can put a smile back on our faces. Anyway early start for Bristol and a long day ahead tomorrow. Keep the faith lads and lasses.

    Well I hope so. As I've said, he gets my support unconditionally. They almost all do But that's what people have said who have watched him at their club.

    They're idiots imo.

    Dodds was absolutely slated when he was forced to step in after we'd been totally humiliated at Bolton ...

    ... the team was at an all time low and he was given all the blame.

    Plenty of good managers fail at one club and succeed at another. I'll take Beale's 71 win percentage here in a heartbeat (2nd best in Rangers 120 year history by the way)

    Potter was a football genius at one club ...

    ... and an abject failure at the next.

    He'll end up managing England.

    I doubt KLD would have pulled rank over this, but the Neil hiring was a bit of a farce too mind, so this is not something they do smoothly all the time. And we do it often!

    But Speakman is his man, no doubt about that. I think he'll be here for KLD's duration.

    For a Conference League standard when there's only two teams of note in the competition, that pretty impressive.

    I was the only one in my crowd that was happy when he signed.

    Should have just paid the compensation, I can't believe KLD couldn't have sorted it. So instead of an up and coming yound French speaking coach, it seems we have the guy who nobody seems to like or want !!!!

    It was only a "farce" to use your words because everyone thought it was going to be Keane when in fact he was never in the running. More evidence of people believing Internet rumours and ignoring what was coming out of the club
