Fair enough. Although part of me wonders if that was a negative assumption that coincidentally came true.

I don't believe that, even on here anyone mentioning off rhe field issues has been shouted down with comments about being negative and don't judge support by buying a new strip. One thread has numerous comments about great away days in years past, but times have and continue to change.

Sensible debate is needed if we are to continue to grow as a club and a fanbase.

Not really tbf.

People are claiming it was a fact that B&W signs going up two weeks before Christmas was common knowledge. I'm not either extreme, just asking why, if it was so openly common knowledge, it wasn't common knowledge on a Sunderland forum like this.

Because on here any comments against kld are usually met with derision and reminders of the old days

They brought it up on their podcast and spoke about it saying it shouldn't happen.

I mean it's not on a fanzine to prevent the club making ridiculous decisions.

I don't usually agree with Chris at WMS at all. But the club and others knew well in advance of the BCB.

If they can feature in a Luke Edwards article essentially claiming to speak for the fans then surely they themselves think of themselves as more than just a fanzine. I can't stand them think they are a stain on the fanbase.

I don't agree with them but just because they said something was happening, it happened, it was ****, doesn't make them wrong. It makes them correct, even though we would rather it didn't happen.

I agree about that. But that means challenging some of these negative assumptions. The club has and does get things wrong but there is often a big over reaction to some of these things.

As there is a big over reaction to supposed negative posts.

It's kind of a no win situation from all sides

The club definitely ****ed up with the black cats bar thing. I can’t argue with that.

Sorry, that's just avoiding the question.

It never stops people posting against KLD, just as they are again today.

It wasn't common knowledge at all, is the answer.

Mate we have people believing it was a rogue contractor man. Even though people knew it would happen and said it would happen.
 
Has Davison been sacked even though he was always leaving until Bruce took over his role? Easy option to sack someone already on the way out and save face as an owner for making a massive unforgivable error.

You aren't going to get that when one side ignores anything positive and continue to throw out buzzwords like 'penny pinching' without any factual evidence to back it up while the other side ignore a lot of failures as things are better now than 4 years ago and shoot down people with even slightly negative views.

The fanbase lacks grown ups and always has. We are way too reactionary and easily led by both positive and negative stories.
