    im not so sure its as clear cut as that.

    Assuming in your scenario Dodds for whatever reason is appointed in the next few weeks, i think 99% of our fans will look at the Squad make up / balance and if we havent addressed the 2 biggest holes will cut Dodds slack, as long as the team are attempting to play the good football we know they can.

    I generally like your posts....but not Warnock! I'm not sure how these players would cope with his tactics,and,we're not in danger of going down. We don't need back against the wall fire-fighting...... we're just outside the play-offs with half the season to go,more or less. If it comes to it....which I hope it doesn't....I'd stick with Dodds.

    I fell asleep earlier on and thought about Klopp, getting tired of the pressures of being at the top all the time, and wondered if he fancied a spell trying to take a young,aspiring group of players,with well-heeled owners and fantastic facilties,from a lower level to the very top,as a legacy to his career...........then I woke up!

    I hope KLD keeps him in place until the end of his contract, just to let our so called fans know he has no intention of listening to them ( he can afford it ) hopefully they will have stopped supporting the club by then.

    The thing is some fans say he’s said nothing wrong. Do you believe the fans who want Beale, Speakman and KLD out or the ones with a brain. Give me a minute?

    but he doesn't need to put him self in that situation, he didn't even need to say it could of just kept silent and said and he will let the future results do the talking

    like him hate him doesn't matter what side your on

    we are all sunderland fans and the most important people at a football clubs is the fans and, once a coach starts digging back at them fans

    it's a disaster waiting to happen

    even if we had Guardiola and he started attacking the fans i would want him out aswell

    You obviously didn’t read my post properly, I said some fans don’t think he’s said anything wrong,
    Do I believe them over someone who acts like a three year old in a toy shop? Hmmm!

    Again, some fans have said he has said nothing wrong, you believe he has, that’s up to you. I know who I believe.

    that's up to them but because one set of fans disagree with the other set doesn't mean the other set is thick

    The way they went about it, it certainly does and that’s being kind to them.

    If he criticises the fans and refuses to accept any blame then yes........

    I cant believe Beale is that far up his own arse he thinks his accents the problem ffs.
    Mogga is a smoggy and we all took to him and had huge respect for him as a man and a manager.

    I've never know a new manager be so disconnected to the fans before.

    But it only looks like madness because you/I/we don't understand why he's done it. It's ridiculous to suggest that a professional coach is going to make decisions without having a good reason for doing so. He is privy to much more information about his players and about the opposition than we as fans are and his decisions will be based on this. He's trying to find solutions to problems. They might be imperfect solutions but he will know why he's made those decisions and so will his staff. Criticising him for doing something without knowing why he's done it is daft.

    No,Dodds hasn't got a mole on his cheek and it's Speakman's fault for appointing him! Let's go for him!

    Dodds and Beale are around the same age.

    One has managed three big clubs..

    The other is a coach, has never managed and may never manage.

    Just a thought.
