    Glad i'm not the only one who notices this. I'm gettting sick of it.

    In fact, i'm hating the repetative nature of his post game comments.

    He can't understand the criticism? Is the man deluded?

    A good company would invest in the development of its' manager, staff and players to establish a good team and work ethic. Companies that sack and replace managers at the drop of a hat very rarely become successful.

    There has been too much instability at Sunderland both in terms of managers and players. We are only a couple of months into the season and not yet in a position to judge whether recent investment was sound. However, we do know that, despite that investment, we still do not have all of the 'tools' to do the job ........... as many of you have commented before! Striker, commanding midfielder, left winger and full back, and probably a decent reliable centre back!!

    But as business i would not expect my bargain basement store (Sunderland)to compete with Harrods (Chelsea Man City Man U etc) but i would expect the to compete with the poundstretchers (Wigan Bolton Newcastle etc).

    Still as ive said before
    Bruce not long ago tipped as next England manager now all of a sudden he's crap
    Coyle did a good job at Burnley and at Bolton last year now he's one of the favs for the sack
    keane at blacburn well the owners the club and the manager all deserve what they get its the fans i feel for.

    see modern supporters no patience the only successfull clubs are the ones who have stuck with their manager for 5 years or more (oh apart from everton) and we all admire what Moyes hgas done there

    Chelsea have had three in the last five years - and I'll take their level of 'failure' any time. Man City have had three as well.

    Good point mate...Moyes did struggle for a couple of years, and some of their fans wanted rid...The same went for Sir Alex at Man U, who had fans crying for his head at one point....
    I still feel that it would be in our best interests to back the manager which will give us our best chance of turning what has been a poor start to the season around..

    2 interesting things to note about yesterday. 1, Quinny embracing Bruce in the tunnel after the game - He wants him here. 2, the players embracing Bruce when Elmo scored - They want him as their manager.

    I'd say that was good news. If it were the other way around i'd be worried.

    By Xmas we could be nearly cast adrift at this rate...believe me, I don't want that, but the way we play, the tactics employed by this manager, the decreasing attendance all adds up to a massive struggle for us. I look at other squads and only see Bolton, Blackburn and maybe Wigan worse than us..if one of them clubs pick up at all we are stuffed.
