    Wasn't the claim that he 'suddenly' seemed to realise that Sunderland was quite far away from his current home base?

    if thats the case I kinda understand it. As a south east lad who loves the club, if somebody offered me a job for sunderland I'd probably take it and think I could make the geography work. Its understandable if it doesn't - you lot are a long way you know.

    Bear in mind its not just him, its his wife and kids (assuming he has them). They want to be near family, grandparents, friends etc. Sure he could move up with them back down south but thats no good for anyone is it.

    sometimes its just not to be. which is a shame.

    I could understand that point of view if I were a kid but in my opinion, a mature man should have been able to consider those factors and then make the correct decision. Or stand by his decision and not let his club down. Not sure if he was indeed any good though.

    He ended up at a Rugby club somewhere around Oxford didn't he?

    Terrible that mind. I giving mine and the bairns tickets to a mate for him and his son for the Norwich and Rotherham games. I hope they ****ing work for them otherwise I'll look a right wally. Stuff like this simply shouldn't happen, that new SC holder should be shifted and the other lad given his seat back.

    Aye 100% the new sc holder should be moved and both sets of sc holders new and old should be given tickets for a game in the black cats bar as a way of apology.

    Thing is it’s not difficult to draft in day 10 agency staff on month to month contracts to sort this out.

    even if it’s just them answering phones and emails and arranging call backs for Ticket office staff to speak to people.

    it’s so ****ing simple to sort I just can’t get my head around why the club arent sorting it.

    my ticket didnt auto renew and payments haven’t been taken. Can’t get any ****er to answer emails or call me back. Chris Waters confirmed my ticket was live so I found at least get in on Saturday.

    I get that the buck stops with Davison but surely KLD is aware of how much an absolute disgraceful farce we are off the pitch at the moment.

    for me the buck stops with KLD either way. Even if he's not directly to blame, he's either causing these issues by not providing enough capital to run the club, or he's sitting by watching somebody piss off fans. And lets not pretend this has only happened this last week.

    Either way its been a cock up on KLD's part.

    If he wasn't, he will be now. I reckon KLD has stepped in and told Davison to sort this **** out or he is in bother.

    Too much trust in the senior positions below. I mean they are paid a fortune and should be doing better. Now it's time, due to the serious negative feedback and the regressing of matters off the pitch , to hold them to account.
