Are you fcuking serious??!?!!

Normal service is resumed and we are now back in the relegation zone.

It was clear to the world and his wife that McDermott's objective over the summer had to be to make sure he signed not ordinary 'squad players' but several players who were literally in a higher league in terms of ability, quality and performance than those that we already had. No one outside of the club is likely to know how much money he had at his disposal but performances and team selection to date would suggest that (with the exception of Shorey) he failed to achieve that objective. We are now paying the price for that failure.

But hes bought players that are supposed to be quality and there still not in the team only Gunter and hes proving to be shitte

I think losing to Villa could be the end of the road for Brian. We can't expect anything from Man Utd next weekend. Could well be three defeats in a row by this time next weekend, and look at that gap forming at the bottom. If we stick by Brian through Christmas then we may as well stick with him until the summer. It'll be far too late to save our season if we react in Jan.

My point exactly. For whatever reason his summer signings have proved to be awful. They're either just crap or he's suddenly decided they don't fit his style of play.

I wasnt having a dig just agreeing with u

Anyone calling for McDermotts head, is an ill informed oxf*rd, with zero understanding of football, or management. We shouldn't even be in this league. You DO NOT penalise managers for over achievement in the previous period in business, football is no different.

Tell Roman Abramovich that.

Likewise!


Anyway, if we could just find out where Matt Lucas is keeping the real McDermott hidden...........

If anyone on this thread saw us last year scraping wins against the run of play home and away they would agree 100% with the previous post. We should not be in this league, the players are trying their hardest but are just not good enough, ditto the manager and probably the owner. It is not their fault. Have you ever been in a job that you are simply not up to? it's the same. Even Sir Alex would have the same problem with this set of players.

When we went up with SSC the first thing he sorted out was the defence. He did not want another Cyrstal Palace 0-9 type of score. He built from the back. We are trying to build from the front.

We were promoted at least one and maybe two years too soon. But we are where we are so enjoy it and hope when we go down we will re group and have another go.

Also AZ paid a certain amount of cash for a certain team. A good Championship team. That is what he bought and that is what he got. He did not over pay and did not over invest. If you buy good Championship players you will eventually end up in the Championship.That is not rocket science.

Anyone who even wonders why we are where we are obviously never saw a run of games last year. Because in essence it is the same team.

Martin O'Neil has offered his resignation to the Sunderland board - Talksport

I'd feel less dirty wanting BM out if we could get MoN.

Broadly agree with these comments, but you do risk being labelled as insane!

For goodness sake it does not matter. Even whats-his-face from Barcelona would be in the same boat. We do not have either the players or the willingness of the owner (see the summers signings) to get us out of this. So leave BMD in the position as I am sure next year we will once again punch above our weight in the Championship.

Why can't people just enjoy where we are and not get so stressed out? We shouldn't be in the Prem, we are, and so let's enjoy it and get off the manager's back.

As I said in a prveious post AZ paid a price for a Chamionship club and that is what he has.

What bollocks. If you were at the fans forum with BM a few months ago you would have heard him say that AZ had a few suggestions for players and BM and NH told him that wasn't on and they need to be left to their own devices. AZ heeded that advice and put full faith in BM and NH. They have had total support.

Perhaps you should attend the fans forums yourself?
