We shall beg to differ on this squire, and nowt wrong with that.

I thought they were comprehensively the best side we faced at home last season.

Oh they were but we stuffed them in the main.

Not sure exactly what it is you are differentiating.

Just saying that at least some of the support is on the basis of what other people are saying rather than experience of Stendel and his teams style. Hence not very solid and liable to evaporate at the first sign of trouble but nonetheless likely to complain if Stendel doesn’t get the gig.

Again I dont see that, but each to their own.
What I seem to be encountering is that stendel ie perceived as playing football that is nice on the eye and knows how to organise a team . Everything that ross isnt.
Maybe I'm reading it wrong. It wouldnt be the first time

I'm onboard with the idea of Stendel and even more so because the alternative options are very underwhelming. The idea of focusing on managers who "know the league" is completely flawed in my opinion. "Knowing" this league does not mean you know how to manage a club like Sunderland. It's not arrogant to suggest that we are a unique club at this level. We need a manager who can handle the extra pressure and expectation that comes with that. In addition to handling the pressure of a team battling for promotion last season, Stendel did it playing great attacking football with a defined style of play which is very modern and suitable to the higher leagues as well. With due respect to Ainsworth, I've no idea how he can be the favourite for the role because it's a massive leap despite the current league positions.

I’m sure you’re right about him. Just pointing out that the flock mentality often kicks in like me wanting him here but only from what others are saying.

Just wish he was called Stengel because that’s what my iPad autocorrects to all the time (an ancient baseball player as it happens)
 
There is no point fretting too early. Sounds like SD is going to interview a fair few before making a decision.

So it could be a while before the actual rumours of 'it's going to be xyz' start.

And that, in a nutshell, is one major problem with SAFC!! Everyone wants someone big, someone they’ve heard of, someone with Premier League experiences. I’ll back fully whoever comes in. Even Ainsworth if it’s him, regardless of who I want, but a number of our fans will turn up his first game and, if we don’t play sparkling football and win by 3 clear goals, he won’t be right!
