Sorry Ozz, I just can't see it. There's a reason the manager is resigning, rather than being sacked. All the Sunderland fans I know and all the Sunderland people I read will tell you there's something absolutely rotten at the heart of that dressing room.

We will see but then with Fat Sam and us sticking with Timmy I know who I would bert on getting more points.

The poll results are remarkable. I really didn't think there'd be that sort of turnaround in opinions within a week.

I'm not sure Lambert ever had such bad results in the polls on here, apart from maybe right at the very end.

You're right, I think after the Hull non performance the poll was 90%. We've collared on to the chancer man quick this time because we've seen it before.

It could well be that those who advocated patience and time with lambert now realise that this only works if the manager is showing signs of improvement. As with lambert, we're now getting worse under sherwood, not better.

Give him another 5 games, if nothing is improving let's hope the fucking num nuts in charge have learnt their lesson and won't let things drift and drift.

Sounds reasonable. In the meantime we should start a poll for Sherwood's likely successor because I don't think he can turn this around.

The poll being that clear cut he is lucky we are not playing next week. Imagine what a hammering at Chelsea will do. I relay hour we can nick a point there and use it to get some confidence though. Swansea home could be very acidic which I think would see him walk before being pushed. Doesn't strike me as the hang on to the bitter end type.

I think it would be two of the three relegation positions sorted out.

Our next 6 are Chelsea (a) Swansea (h) Saints LC (a) Spurs (a) Citeh (h) Everton (a). Even if we were in any kind of form I wouldn't expect us to get much of a haul from those games.

Every time we have a discussion about Allardyce. Why, I wonder, is the man some see as the answer to our problems also regularly available?

How is he regularly available?

He's had 4 jobs in 16 years, which is pretty stable by most standards.

We've learned our lesson anyway.

It does seem a up hill battle does that
If I could say anything to Sherwood it would be if your going to go, them go fighting,
Stick to the original principles you started with, attacking line ups, caution to the wind, and have a go, it doesn't always work see Liecester, but it's got to be better than the negative lineups we have put out against blues and Stoke
Build your team around Gill, Grealish, Ayew and Traore not all at once obviously but go out with a bang if that's where your heading, just like you did when you first came

He was avaiable when Houlier was under pressure as Blackburn had foolishly sacked him. Newcastle also foolishly sacked uim. And maybe when Houlier departed. And er now.  Thats it.

Agree. I think we are now approaching the time when we can expect things to start improving and the settling in argument becomes invalid.
