I concur we'd have grabbed a raggy win somewhere or put out a dog turd display at home for a few more draws. That doesn't mean I'd rather we were still in that position. I'm glad we are where we are, I would have taken us improving under McClaren and playing better football but I'll also accept being worse but not in a groundhog day of perpetuating loathing of everything at the club. Strangely even though worse in a twisted way it feels better because the man that made me hate football is gone and the fat fucker is closer to selling up.

Not gonna worry myself with how we'd supposedly be doing with Pardew. The man proved he was capable of having us tread water whilst playing God awful football - whilst being a massive cunt.

 

Now we're in the relegation zone which isn't that different imo. Certainly not in terms of how I feel. A lot of this is his doing anyway,  which is the point people keep forgetting.

During the time Pardew was manager, over 4 years, we were the only ever-present member of the division not to take a single point off Man City, home or away, so I wouldn't go using today as an opportunity to sing that cunt's praises.

 

Make no mistake, he was integral to creating the NUFC you see before you and nobody should ever forget that.

Or, what if Ashley actually cared to hire a quality Managing Director? Dropped that stupid board? Dropped that stupid transfer policy? Dropped Wonga? Cared for the club, the fans and the city?

 

What would happen?

Some sort of break in the time space continuum. Rivers of blood, plagues of locusts, the whole deal.

I'm afraid so.

We lost pretty much every match in 2014 and people think we'd be doing better under Pardew? :lol:

 

This is our worst ever start in PL history. Our worst start since the 1800's! We certainly (and didn't) wouldn't be doing any worse under Pardew which says all you need to know about McClaren and this group of imposters out on the pitch. No point in typing what I think about Ashley because the swear filter would make it unreadable.

Sacking McClaren honestly won't achieve much. As several folk have already alluded to, there is a patent, deep-seated sense of malaise within the squad that will work against any coaching the players receive. The minute things take a turn for the worse, heads drop and the floodgates invariably open. The problem is endemic; simply doing a Sunderland and axing the manager in search of a short-term fix addresses absolutely nothing.

What we need is to shift out the dead-weight players so that whoever manages us can start with a clean slate, it's pointless while players like Cissé, Sissoko, Colo, etc are lurking around just to take the paycheck. They breed an air of apathy and laziness around the club, the younger players and new signings can't be expected to carry things far without the more experienced players pulling their weight. To be fair I think the signings we made during the summer are good players, but how can they shine when they're fire-fighting in a team already struggling for drive. Most of the games since the start of the season we could have got 'something' from and haven't played as badly as the results/table show imo, but the performances have been patchy and let down by individual mistakes from the senior, can't be arsed players.

On a side note, I understand why the senior players have thrown in the towel, to be honest it has all come about by the club making a concerted effort not to challenge for anything, just to accept mid-table as a target without any cup runs. The players that have been here during that time have given up, they've forgotten how to make an effort because they haven't needed to. SO in the grand scheme of things this still falls back to being the club/Ashley's fault for his previous 'plan' for running the club. Now that they might actually want to make a go of it the older players don't give a shit.

Well, it needs starting at the top. With Lee Charney.
