    That's pathetic, does he sing 'Sunderland til I die' ...

    ... or is it 'Sunderland til I get my own way' <doh>

    There have been some terrible owners in the football league down the years and there are still some currently. Imagine if we had someone like Michael Knighton at Carlisle. People don't know when they've got it good.

    I normally have a quick look for a laugh, the funniest bit about it is they are actually serious about what they post

    I saw your post, popped over and 'this' was the first thread ...

    Why doesn’t Speakman have a Wikipedia page

    For someone so high profile, it’s suspicious as ****.

    I'm sure if you read other clubs forums there would be posts moaning about the owners. The smb is a section of that, the same as on here is.

    On here it is very much more positive posts about the owners and things in general.

    Let's not get into differences of opinions between forums as people have differing opinions

    KLD and KS need to accept that the principle of the sustainable model is 100% correct and most people are fully behind it, but it does need to be flexible enough to deal with the existing needs of the team.

    Not every player can be brought in with huge potential or resale value, the team has needed a couple of championship ready players all season, that is the flex people want in my opinion.

    It's brilliant getting all these young lads in and see them develop and grow, but they need help at times and that tends to come from the experienced players, of which we are lacking

    That all depends on whether you think we need to be promoted this season, imo. A couple of seasons with these players playing together in the Championship might see them develop sufficiently together to get us promoted.

    To be fair they've not said the system isn't flexible and may well be happy to sign experienced players if they're available, willing to come and not asking for daft money.

    You mean promotion next season? The better players won't hang around for another couple of seasons imo

    All evidence from the summer and January indicates we are still looking at younger not quite ready players that need time.

    I'm hoping that's addressed in the summer

    This is where the conflict comes between head coach and KS. No coach will have a couple of seasons to do this. Everything is now. Hence Mogga and Beale gone.

    Perhaps we don't want them to, we could be banking on the money for the next stage.

    We were after Moore in January which shows we're open to the idea of experience.

    Bringing in a capable manager who's happy with the set up is the key.

    I would like to think the club would prefer to keep its better players

    Me too, they have so far despite definite offers for some of them.

    That shows good intent imo.

    All we can do is wait and see what happens in the summer.

    It might not be pretty till the end of the season though

    That's possible but we'll have Ballard, Evans and others bac so could have a good end to the season.

    It's virtually the same squad that beat Leeds and WBA under Dodds.

    We might appoint a popular new manager next week ...

    ... anything is possible.
