LJ….. Stick or Twist? : SAFC Blog - following Sunderland AFC

It’s the November International Break, Division 3 is shite, it’s our 4th year of this…… the previous 3 years have seen us languishing about 5th and out of form…. This year, it’s, (not), different . We are a big club, at this level we are a fucking massive club? Since Peter Reid packed his bags in February 2002 after 7 years in charge, we’ve had 24 managers, a couple of Caretakers… but 24?, (twenty four). Being a football player or manager is a hugely privileged position, but it’s real life, the vitriolic pursuit of managers is akin to booing players for me, never ever forget, this is real life – I chat regularly to a fairly high profile gaffer whilst out walking my dogs, and don’t ever, ever believe that anyone involved in the professional game doesn’t care?

Ownership…..

I’m loathe to refer to our previous custodians as owners, because the feckless, gobshite arseholes didn’t actually pay any of their own money for the ownership of the club? KLD is a class act, surrounded by the right people, I like the fact we don’t know what’s going to happen with LJ? I’d much rather the main men at a multi million pound business, kept there karma dry and consulted with the appropriate people, rather than embarking on a selfie wankfest with fans?

9 goals conceded vs 2 average **clubs** recently…..

The Remit…..

We didn’t Lee, the expectation is promotion – simples, yes it’s a tough gig….. but that’s the remit, plenty of jobs at lower league fodder like Gillingham, Shrewsbury etc if you are more comfortable with the expectation being low?
