If they’d said something meaningful in the 8 days since Wembley those type of articles would have 0% credence - the radio silence makes you wonder if there is something in it, the source makes you believe there isn’t....so yes, the club needs leadership, it pays leaders very good salaries to lead so they need to manage the message.

Out of interest, what do you mean by 'radio silence'?

So first The Sun, now the Mail saying the opposite. You all realise this is all an exercise in sports journalists filling the requisite column inches in their respective rags, yeah?

100% agree. We've all been following football for years and yet somehow we fall for the same bollocks every time. Or some of us do.

But there has been word. There's been a statement.

Yes but some people want a statement every day, obviously if that happened then people would be moaning that an hour has gone by without a statement.

I wonder if every set of supporters are so anxious to hear something all the time and if not, whether this all stems from the old board's early days when they seemed to have an open line to everybody with an internet connection.

It might have create some heightened expectations regarding communication and in turn be driving behaviour for some. Truth is it probably happens to some degree (less or more) at every club, and there is no way it will please everyone. The board says nothing cue skepticism and cynicism from some. The board says something it will prompt the same. The majority don't jump up and down, are concerned but don't hang off every word, and don't read all between the lines trying to find a hidden meaning or something that just isn't there.

I suppose a lot of it is also down to the modern need for information to fill every gap in the internet, and to get it NOW. One story has to be credible and can be refuted. A hundred will be 99% rubbish and not worth dignifying with a reply.

Of course they are.  It's why owners and players have hundreds of thousands of followers on social media.  People are used to minute by minute updates on everything in life, such is the information overload that is the modern world. As the saying goes, nature abhors a vacuum, and the Twitter generation abhors not being given updates every few seconds.

I think the last 3 years of Lerner has left deep scars and probably engendered a higher level of paranoia.
Other than Sunderland Has another high profile club recently traumatized its supporters as much as Villa have?
