the air of inevitability

A couple of things:

1/ that trajectory can turn upward with changes that can and will be made.

2/ the fans have been badly advised to take down the owner and board. That call has to be ignored. It's a battle for a day when safety is reached.

If we get a new manager in that will bring unity for a while, and we sorely need that right now.
Regarding the bolded text, I'm not sure how you can be so sure that changes will be made. This absentee owner, feckless board and out of his depth DoF seem incapable of doing anything of note. These are the people who thought Maupay and McNeil would compensate for the loss of Richarlison, after all.

On your second point, the battle lines have already been drawn, no matter what we think about their effectiveness. Furthermore, the board, instead of trying to de-escalate the situation decided that their best option was to leak stories to the press and release the billionaire moron on to Murdoch radio to call out the fans to further fan the flames of the situation. You can lambast the fans all you like but the board have essentially sang "come and have a go, if you think you're hard enough" to them.

We're an absolute joke of a club at the moment. I used to compare us to Randy Lerner's Villa, as many have, but we're far worse than that. We're Sunderland in the David Moyes era.
 
Some people in November: "Frank is fine, he just needs time to get it right. Stability"

Some people now: "We'll be fine, we just need a few new players and a new manager."

Some people in April: "Well, that escalated quickly. Who knew?"
 

@matty1878 you need to go out on a three day bender mate, absolutely hammer whatever your poison is and drive the demons out. You can’t let these blerts get you this low mate. They will all pass on through eventually and we will get our club back mate. It may be a bot scratched and dented, low on juice and someone may well have laid some cable on the back seat. But a bit of T-Cut and a boxload of them pine tree things will soon have it looking tidy again Mate

keep the faith, because its our faith, not theirs!
 
The new Sunderland.
The new Villa, the new Leeds, the new QPR.
We’re in meltdown and the board are asleep at the wheel. They’ve mismanaged us into such a position that we can’t spend, can’t compete with teams around us, our good players are going, bad ones staying and adding crap nobody else wants.
 
i can feel it i can smell it i can see it

it’s coming. the board last week killed this club, this is the start of the spiral in every aspect of the club.

brace yourselves - the club we all love and once new, soon isn’t to be anymore

in about 5 years time when god knows what league we’re in

“member everton” they were a big club once”

NSNO - nope not anymore

Wait and see what happens to all the bad players who we can't shift currently after relegation. Suddenly, they will all find clubs because they'll adjust their ridiculous contract expectations. The amount of money we've wasted on utterly mediocre crap since Moshiri took over is a major part of why we are a ruin of a club. The worst thing is that they've learned nothing, just a month ago they were talking about giving Iwobi a new contract worth over £100k a week. Couldn't run a bath.
 

The problem is there isn't even a murmur of a new signing, let alone a new manager. Farhad thinks everything is fine. The board are more preoccupied with demonising the entire fanbase.

You look at the table, and of course we could - and should - get out of trouble. But then you look around you and you see Frank, Kevin the Gerbil, Billy Liar, and Denise in a metaphorical neck brace - you can't see Farhad, he's AWOL - and you realise that the club is burning from the top down.

Farhad has fiddled since November. He didn't recognise the alarm bells, let alone hear them. People - including many fans - were complacent about the danger that was clear and present by the week Bournemouth's caretaker hammered us twice. We have every symptom of a club in freefall. And we sit, like a frog, oblivious to the rising water temperature that is slowly boiling us.
There's two weeks left to get buisness done and this manager out.

Of course both should have been done by now, but my guess is that we'll see both done shortly.

The owner knows it'll mean financial disaster for him if we dont get players in.

The board/owner v fans situation is our main worry IMO. That's why my position is to park that fight. It should never have exploded the way it did, and I think there's a few people who need to look at themselves...not in terms of wanting what's best, but in terms of their picking this fight in the teeth of a relegation threatened season.

For me there are two sides here: those acting to save this club from relegation and those indulging in cosplay.

The latter can GTF as far as I'm concerned. They are poor generals.
 
It wasn't just aimed at you. The death cult is quite a force on here atm.

As I said, it's understandable people are forlorn. But there's a route out of this that isn't fantastical and it's quite straight forward: new manager and a player or two.

We're not adrift by 6 or 7 points. This is a relegation scrap between about 8 clubs separated by a few points.

How there's an "inevitability" about falling through the trap door to the Championship I dont know. You and others are going VERY early on this.

dave there’s no route when we aren’t sacking the manager and have no money for players prob a loan.

we’re doomed accept it like me mate
