Others may call you a moron for your willingness to accept such an uninspiring appointment.

I hope he does well anarl, coz at the end of the day I love SAFC 1st & foremost.

it’s a forum and everyone is entitled to their opinion without being bad-mouthed.

The response has been embarrassingly over the top though you must admit that ? I didn’t want him cos I knew very little about him and I think most know little detail but I’m happy to trust the people in charge because I think they’ve improved us until I see it isn’t right

There's a hell of a lot of groupthink going on on socials as well mind. The more people saying its terrible etc just convinces others it is.

There's a huge difference between acknowledging he's not who you'd have picked but continuing to support your football club, versus what a lot of people on socials are doing at the moment - which is actively the opposite of supporting.

welcome aboard Mr Beale...

well, after reading the notes from the club it appears as if they have all had a good think about this, what they want from the coach and what they want from the current set up, seems some might not have agreed to what the club wants and shows why they moved onto Beale...actually makes me feel a lot better knowing that our new coach will not be 'starting from scratch' and should be on board with the plan, of course we will see some changes in the window and really pointless making any judgements on him until next season so let's just enjoy the rest of this one and hopefully get a win against the mags.

I am also including IRL people who have been discussing it. Its so overwhelming that people are feflated by it.

I think the biggest issue will be any time he interacts with fans pre and post match, his corporate waffle will really grind on most. People gave AN more slack as he said it like it was most of the time and fans could understand it. Beale has not shown he will speak like this.

Its the people who reply to others posting positively which I despise. I just replied wishing him all the best and that he will get the full backing of the fans, to which somebody replies telling me to shut up :D

Absolutely no need for it, we all have opinions and we are all entitled to both hold them and let others know what they are. We are not entitled to shout down anyone whose opinion differs from our own for the sake of it (well I suppose we can in reality but it highlights the shortcomings of the person doing the shouting more than anything else).

I have mainly kept quiet on this thread because I want to see who’s brought in and be able to objectively assess how we do going forwards without my judgement of the new boss being clouded in anyway before he’s even hung his coat up on the back of his door.

Hopefully he will get a few wins under his belt and then provide a huge cup shock to cement his legacy when we sack him at the end of the season ;)

Like all of our coaches I will give them 100% support until they show me a reason not too. I just don't understand those who hold a grudge and want someone to fail without giving them a chance.

If he fails, then it means Sunderland have failed, but it seems some of our supporters aren't happy unless they've got something to either aim their anger at or something to complain about.

Guess we'll find out. I'm only going to judge him on his results for us rather than others, and what he says whilst representing our club. So far his written statement was good. Proof will be in the press conferences, especially after defeats. Thats when they really grind!!

Wouldnt have been my 1st choice but hope he smashes it. Going by the statements its clear he was always one of their main targets

I think its laughable that people who have no idea who the club has interviewed are saying weve only appointed him because he is the cheap option. The club clearly have done their due diligence and decided he is the right person to take us forward - thats good enough for me!

People slagging not having a plan in place when TM left clearly havent listened to what Speakman has said about Beale being on their radar for a while - thats what success planning is all about!

We now need to get behind the club - unlike the ones ive seen on social media saying they want fans to boycott games and even wanting to protest against the club!!

That is fair. And the vast number will also do the same. Be interesting to see how he performs and interacts with everyone linked with safc

I really need to get back to work but my final point I keep coming back to when I go round and round in my head, is Rangers hired him TWICE.

You can hire anybody once if they talk your socks off in an interview. I've hired several people who have been brilliant at interview and then underwhelmed.

But I've only ever hired one person twice. And no sexy interview would make me hire somebody I didn't want a second time. Rangers wanted him as Manager having already employed him previously. He must impress people he works with, despite what all the rumours of dressing room issues say. Quotes from ex pros show that.

Yeah me too. I think a load are. Its rare you see such vitriol across all forms of media, multiple platforms. Mostly saying the same thing, poor appointment and wont last the contract length.

really hope he proves us wrong and is a success but, its really hard to see so many unbiased reports saying this is a poor appointment and will wear thin quickly.

I know more about him today than I did on Friday and am more concerned today it’s a really poor choice than I was on Friday.

Just can’t see this being a good thing at all and usually am massively on the optimistic side but this is very deflating when it appeared the squad was in a position to kick on.
