Just see this on x. We are doing very well when compared to recently promoted sides.

Given that Doug is a trader by nature, it’s hard to believe he would have agreed to a loan deal without any option to buy — especially considering his clear stance on loan players since he arrived. Our business model has always been built around using first-team opportunities to increase the...

We currently have the best xGA in the league, meaning we’ve conceded the fewest quality chances in the Championship. That’s very pleasing to see — and somewhat surprising, given that to the eye it sometimes feels like we’ve been a bit fortunate with the opposition’s opportunities. However, this...

The home PRO shirt has also been out of stock for about 1 month. It’s not even visible on the website. i would also buy the pro away shirt if that was available now. They really need to sort out the relationship with Hummel supplier, hope Dough is working on that

Well done, Simon. I agree—based on what he said about feeling relieved when DK spoke up at the forum, it was pretty clear what his perspective was on the whole situation. I think listeners could read between the lines

nobody has asked why did Dennis lawrence leave? did we offer him a contract or not

Worst thread of questions and journalism ever, there was a really good oppurtunity here to really press Doug and get insight, instead we got random questions thrown at him. Its like people didnt even listen to his introduction before asking the question

can we get this woman to lead instead of Clive?

local radio at its finest

can we just dig on the explanation please!!! Why is Robins not been able to get a assistant? Robins blocked hire? Robins wasnt big enough name to attract?

For all the talks of “nobody over the age of 25” Sunderland team have an average age of about 20. Our signings this year just are not good enough. Why the hell have we spent 4.5m on EMC for him to sit on a bench and play a formation where he doesn’t even fit?

We spend a lot of money on average players and playing a formation where we have our big money signing EMC and our most technical player in Sakamoto sat on the bench whilst we have a CB playing in midfield. The whole transfer strategy and execution was shocking

4 cbs on the pitch and we can’t defend, we can’t string 3 progressive passes together either.

o’nein is what a proper defender looks like, rather than the circus of a back 3 we have.

One of the main attractions of Lampard would be he network of loan players. But Doug has seemingly banned loan players for Mark Robins. does this mean Lampard has been promised money to buy players? Or has DK changed his policy ?
