Seems the club were wrong to allow BCB staff not to wear SAFC colours. Also wrong to sanction provocative banners.
Also wrong to allow all the away support to sit above the South Stand SC holders who've had missiles thrown on them before.

If there'd been trouble the club would've had to explain all of that to the FA ...

... meanwhile at West Brom, 40 minutes disruption, mass arrests, spectators stewards and police injured, club sanctioned, etc etc etc.

But Sunderland betrayed the supporters and got everything wrong.

Are you saying the club handled the Derby game competently?

If so why did the owner issue an apology in his statement?

Wasn't his apology about the signs?
What else should he have done?
If he'd said it was deliberate, there'd have been hell on.
If he'd said it wasn't us, the conspiracy theorists wouldn't have believed him, and there'd have been hell on.
Either way, all he could do was apologise.
 
It wasn't perfect, of course not ...

... but it wasn't the chaos at West Brom either.

Even though it's Newcastle not everything is black and white.

It was far from perfect.

When it's directly leading lots of lifelong supporters thinking of jacking it in for a while I'd say it was an absolute shambles and the people who made those decisions shouldn't be in such lofty positions at a prestigious football club.

If he knew all along, and sanctioned it, he didn't even need to apologise ...

... he could've just thought 'f*ck them' as people are claiming anyway.

People are always talking about jacking it in as soon as there's a few poor results.

If we'd won that derby there'd be none of this imo.

People aren't on about jacking in because of results.
All of the negativity since December has been self inflicted by the incompetent running of the club - they have made staggeringly bad decision after staggeringly bad decision sucking the enthusiasm out of the support as a result, imo.
 
Right Head coach, surely we have to see the damage we are doing to Dodds, the young players and just about everyone whilst we plod along?
How long is it since Dodds left his Development Coach role? Could there be a link between that and some of the signings not making as much progress as earlier signings?
He's got a great reputation in that role and its an important one. Are we hurting ourselves not having him there?
