Meanwhile KLD isn't at games punching the air and posing for selfies when he easily could.
He's carefully, quietly and skilfully put people in place and is allowing them to make decisions, learn on the job and develop ... just as the manager does. He's totally transformed the club in the face of some vile, and totally idiotic, attacks from a section of Sunderland supporters.
Even now there are people, on RTG etc, commenting on the transfer targets and posting witless comments like,
'Oh look, his mam must have increased his pocket money'
Fans of other clubs must look and wonder just how brainless and entitled we are.
