For the past decade my mental capacity has slowly put football and SAFC on the backburner. No more does it effect my moods like it used to before around the Martin O'Neill appointment. Since then we have gone through nerve jangling relegation scraps, relegation x2, dodgy ownership, league 1 stability etc. (Even when we got promoted from League 1 I was like 'hmmmm, great!?') None of those events got my back up like it normally would have done. After all, its always been a struggle for the majority of the time. But the last 6 months is starting to irritate me more than anything in the recent past. I think its because, for the first time in ages, we seemed to be on an upward trajectory, we seemed to be the business. Eventual lower/mid table Premier League stability was a possibility. A club to be proud of again. Now it seems that due to bad luck / management / ownership, we seem destined / determined to start struggling again. You'd think it was done on purpose. Like, 'we cant have any prolonged feel good factor at Sunderland, its just not on, where's that self destruct button?!' Frustrating! It will take some managerial appointment, and some money spent, to get anywhere near the heights of our 1st season back in the championship. Comfortable mid table will be an achievement as far as I'm concerned. I fear that wont be good enough for some of the more vocal amongst us. And whoever we eventually do get will be under pressure from the off and under pressure by xmas.
It’s actually mad to say, I am no closer to having an idea who will replace Beale then I was in February
And if it's nobody that has been mentioned at all, it means he's a ****e hawk and everyone has lost there **** for no reason.
He’d be met with ‘sacked from previous club’ don’t think he’s a bad manager personally but this has gone on so long it almost has to be a wow appointment
