    How much are SAFC supporters expected to put up with , the club sack Jack Ross and unbelievably didn’t have the foresight to have anyone lined up to replace him , boy have we got a fabulous choice of candidates to choose from are any of them any better than Ross? The investment/takeover is still unclear I have supported Stewart Donald with the stabilising of the club but fear he is out of his depth now and with his major advisors the chuckle brothers aka Coton And Hill I am beginning to despair , am I the only one or can anyone raise my spirits .

    It's probably wrecked productivity on Wearside, marriages and friendships and turned most to drink. The sooner this is resolved and out in the open the better.

    Hmm, you need to remain strong. Having been a lad's fan for nearly 60 years - positive days are few and far between.

    It was shambolic watching with Ross in charge. He was dreadful and had to be sacked.

    If the next man is worse then so be it . It had to be changed.

    I never understand the idea that you have the next man already lined up. I want Donald to speak to a variety of managers, find out what they're about, what kind of ideas they have and then pick the man that he thinks will be the most successful. Having the next man lined up seems very closed minded, not to mention unprofessional. In addition, it usually means that you've only looked at managers out of work so you've limited your possibilities.

    Do you think the recruitment of managers and players is always carried out in a completely fair way with everything above board , I don’t think so . Identify your target and make them aware of your interest , would they like to talk to you about the possibilities. Sorry but this happens all of the time in all industries and in all walks of life .This includes people who are already in work .

    **** nan the amount of our fans who are ****ting it cos we haven’t had someone lined up. And if we had it’s not who they want! It hasn’t got me up the wall. I’m the same as I always have been. Been going since 1981 and things have never been straightforward with SAFC. That’s probably longer than some of the complainers have been alive!!

    mine if our baby mottos over the years has been “keep the faith” well, it seems there’s very few people have any to keep!!

    Despite being a basket case I think people can see if they get it right here it is a hell of a big thing to have on your cv

    We've had really really top managers & big names in football who've failed here

    Plus some absolute ****e ones too

    I'm either thinking we're cursed just badly ran or both

    All joking aside I think timing is everything, who expected Peter Reid to achieve what he did here?
    If we weren't steered toward SKP at that particular time our history and Kev's would have been so different. would SKP have won the Golden Boot if he hadn't come here?

    Timing or fate.

    Sometimes thing fall into place.

    All fine words but if after that we are left with parkinson and ainsworth you have to wonder.

    You wanted Ross out, you got your wish now live with the consequences. Personally I won't believe anything until its official.

    Biy of a party response.
    Ross was binned and the vast majority were happy except for some nufc supporters and a hard core cabal. Let's face it there was a hard core wanted moyes to stay.
    Most sensible supporters imagined after he was peddled that the manager would get someone in who knew what he was doing.
    Sadly it looks we may go for worse.
    If it this happens, it wont be the fault of those like me but donald.
    Ross should have been bladdered after the shameful humiliation and surrender at the play off final. Donald erred badly by keeping him
