    I said in February that I would give him to November and I stick by that. If 'his players' don't perform for him in the first 3 months of next season, then look to change things. Now is too soon imo.

    No, that's the players. They can't hack the pressures of being at a big club.

    You quite rightly pointed out that Grigg has started scoring goals at MK Dons. He is a perfect example of what I've said above.

    Great to see that our fans have changed their tune in him after slagging him to the ground and saying we were going to boycott their stadium after the PPG fiasco last season. Always thought he was a good man and this proves it.

    So you are writing off next season too? Contrary to popular belief our issues aren’t with sacking managers all the time, but doing it at the wrong times. Ross was sacked 5 months too late, Parkinson likewise .... failure to get promotion should equal dismissal. As a club we accept mediocrity so much, even at this level, which accounts for my pessimism and why I think we will never get promoted again in fact I can see us down either next season or season after.

    Load of nonsense. Just probably after a favour or two. The signings in January were dreadful. Nothing will change.

    Things could change before next season, you could be banned and told to f uck off to wherever you came from, just thinking aloud like.

    Where have I said that? My previous post, which you described as showing blind faith, stated that I believe in our new owner and that he will make us successful. Good to see that Accrington's Chairman agreed with me.
    Johnson's win percentage is fine at the moment, and he is a welcome improvement on Parky. You want to get rid of him before he's even had the chance to bring his own players in.

    What I'm saying is give the bloke a chance to mold 'his players' into a team before pressing the ejector seat button. When he took over, we would all have been content with a play off place, and that is what we'll get. Ross had his transfer windows to mold his team, we need to give Johnson the same chance. If it is not happening by November, then get rid, and give the new man the whole of December to work with Speakman.

    Remember, Speakman's role is to develop a style of play, which every manager will adopt. Maybe it's him, rather than Johnson, who prefers 4-3-3. As Sheepman said yesterday, we don't currently have the players who are good enough to play that system. They will need to be drafted in over the summer.

    Johnson’s points per game is worse than Parkinson’s. The January signings were awful. It’s also blind faith in Speakman. Every bloke who’s run this football club for the last 70 years have been failures, why will Dreyfus be any different? Speakman is hardly a safe appointment, Birmingham have hardy pulled up trees in his time there. If Ross Stewart is anything to go by then this summer will be a dreadful one.

    Are you this tedious and monotonous in real life or do you just save it up for here?

    Why don’t you tackle the fact that Johnson is doing worse then Parkinson despite the fact he’s using the services of our best player and Parkinson wasnt.

    That's nonsense. Not every club can win things. We've won an FA Cup, which is more than most, and played most of our football at a higher level than we are at now. We have a ground and training facilities that most clubs would love, yet you say we've failed. Going by your reckoning, clubs like Newcastle, Southampton, West Ham and Villa have all failed.

    Richard Branson's first attempt in business (a school magazine) failed. He's gone on to much greater things since. In your world, it's impossible for anyone to achieve anything positive in life. What a horrible outlook.

    You just continue to follow your Sunderland. The one "who will never reach the second tier".

    I'll follow the one that will play in the Championship and Premier League again.

    Seriously need to consider changing your tag, I don't even think you are a Sunderland fan, your negative dribble is akin to migraine. Crack on though, as it cheers me up no end reading such unfounded fcukwittery.

    Nah,any flaws I perceive in the team I'll discuss with a rational supporter, not a whinge merchant like yourself. Thanks all the same though, and keep up the whinging there. Never know, one day someone might even take you seriously.
