Mcgeady if that's who you ment played along with watmore.

 

Not fishing.......of course you aren't, why does it bother you he's nothing to do with Bradford City (for whom he did a magnificent job a promotion and 3 yes 3 Wembley apperances) why the sympathy act for Sunderland, let it go @Ricc youll feel much better.

 

I wish I could suffer them again, GB has us playing a similar style of football but with only 1 striker.

It's akin to PP playing Hanson up front on his own.

 

Every cloud and all that.

 

Trouble is @Ricc take his first season away when his task was to keep us up, which he did, and in most fans opinion the guy worked wonders season on season.
Even given the arguement it was all huff (which it wasnt) as fans we went to games knowing those 11 players on the pitch would give everything for 90 minutes, don't you find it a little strange that anyone who has followed Phil Parkinson have failed to do the same.
Stuart after inheriting several good players from Parky's time at the club and adding to it unfortunatly couldn't get us over the line.
I'm sure you'll disagree but that's my take on the Phil Parkinson reign at Bradford City and after.

 

Hardly a counter arguement against the points I raised ?.

Didn't you walk out early the other home game as you was pissed off ?, maybe watching Luverpool or Manchester City would be a better option .

 

Another loss can’t see him lasting much longer.

And to Evans as well, as he ever beat him?

 

Glad us Bradford City fans and owners had a little more patience, and we have those great times and memories Phil Parkinson left us with..
Sunderland fans are deluded and as you say expect 3 points from every game because they are Sunderland.
Nothings has changed it has been a poison chalice for many years, you only have to look at the clubs turnover of managers since Roy Keane got them back to the Premiership
Ricky Sbragia
Steve Bruce
Martin O'Neil
Paolo Di Canio
Gus Poyet
Dick Advocaat
Sam Alladyce
David Moyes
Simon Grayson
Chris Coleman
Jack Ross
Phil Parkinson
a very similar situation to ourselves on our fall from grace with regards managers,
Chris Hutchings
Jim Jefferies
Nicky Law
Bryan Robson
Colin Todd
Stuart McCall
Peter Taylor
Peter Jackson
Phil Parkinson
Stuart McCall
Simon Grayson
Michael Collins
David Hopkin
Gary Bowyer
The Sunderland fans may not be happy but looking at that list of past managers they had managers who had some top flight credentials as managers, and they could not halt their fall to league one, they are IMO as delusional as many Leeds fans, without doubt Leeds are one of bigger clubs in the Championship but I can't see even a club like Leeds challenging the top 6 clubs in the Premiership which they look like they might do this season.

 

Realistically Parkinson needs to be given the January transfer window to sign players who want to play for Sunderland, he needs to get the best from Charlie Wyke

 

Lost 8 out of 12.

It's the style of football mate and the Sunderland fans won't like it no matter who he brings in.

And counting on Charlie Wyke is a big ask as he's been poor for them since he joined.

 

But Sunderland fans are winners they want better for their club, it doesn't seem to be working, maybe these guys should have been told.

A basket case of a club, who have fans who are obviously prepared to put up with mediocrity as they still turn out in massive numbers to both home and away, here are there home attendances so far this season. attendances :
Oxford 33,498
Portsmouth 29,140
AFC Wimbledon 29,725
Rotherham 29,078
MK Dons 29,954
Tranmere 28,551
Southend 30,407
Coventry 29,809
Burton 26,538

Maybe the fans having ambition and want winners is not working ?.

 

But at the time of appointing those managers both the clubs owners and most fans would have been happy, yes there may have been some who weren't but you get that at every club.
My point is with regards fans wanting better for the club and the club to be ambitious etc I'm sure turning up in those numbers at times the fans were pissed off as some are saying they are now, I'm sure the Sunderland directors thought Parkinson was the man to get them going again when he took over they'd only played 12 league games, unfortunately it hasn't had the desired effect at Sunderland, changing manager again would hardly guarantee promotion or stave off the possibility of relegation although that doesn't look on at this moment, but losing games is a bad habit to break.
