It’s not understandable when it happens before his first game is out of the way though. That’s a pre set agenda not a built up frustration with the managers performance. If he turned out to be awful after an amount of time where it’s reasonable for him to implement how he wants his team to play and to coach them over a period of time, that’s when it’s ok to show frustration that things aren’t working. When Beale came in I wasn’t overly impressed but on paper can see why the club might think it’s a good fit for our set up. I was/am willing to see how it worked out. Unfortunately he’s been in a hiding to nowt with some elements of our support creating a hostile environment against our own team/management from the start. How did anyone doing this think they might help to encourage improvement. It’s really beyond me.
Seen the quotes from the additional press conference from Beale. Honestly don’t think it’s fair on any party to prolong this. It just isn’t working and is no good for him or for us
He hits out at the fans for being negative and demands more respect. which on one hand is fair enough. And on the other hand is clear as day it won’t end well here Local journos describing it as “explosive”. It wasn’t filmed so I guess we won’t know if it’s exaggerated
Not sure if this is the right thread, but Fishpaste jumping in on the Bellingham discussion after KS was on BBC Newcastle https://www.si.com/soccer/sunderlan...cmlWw5-Er4iCRO-F3cSuD9q_KQucHBVIonWTqhTFKOf0c
That’s Jobe starting tomorrow then, either up front instead of an actual striker. Or as a 10 instead of Pritchard
I can't find anything that states that he demanded more respect. I think it is becoming more likely that the club will have to sack him. Sadly, that won't be for football reasons though.
With most of these fanzines / podcasts what ever you call them, its all about generating hits, so its only reasonable to take their "content" with a pinch of salt
One thing is for certain I don’t give a flying **** where the bloke is from, what he looks like or what he sounds like. My perception is purely based on the performances.
Said I wasn't going to post but couldn't help myself. Beale isn't helping himself with his comments mind and he's making himself such an easy target. Just came out that he said 'I haven’t worked in London for ten years' which clearly isn't true unless QPR have moved out of London. This whole thing is madness and it's only going to end one way. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/sunderland-michael-beale-sack-accent-31972003
It also doesn't matter. No-one actually cares. It's just a stick to beat him with. Like Bruce being a mag - never the reason we wanted him out. Same with Beale. The reason is he's crap. (although the personal abuse is un-called for and moronic tbf)
I just don't understand why he can't show some intelligence and communicate properly. With accuracy and think, how can I get the fans on board. Everytime he speaks , it's just enraging people more. That with his football performance and our team looking worse each week, is just a Fire ball.
Ah, right. Thanks for that. The thing is, he's spot on with what he says. It's not going to be popular with supporters but this idea that people can say whatever they like because they pay their money is somewhat childish. He's right about the performances too, they haven't been as bad as people are making out.
