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.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.
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.
