I am so, so devastatingly upset and frustrated that such a golden opportunity gifted to our club, namely the ownership of the wonderful Sheik Mansour is being squandered and stupidly wasted. I fear is that we will waste three or more seasons before the powers that be come to their senses. Pellegrini is the wrong manager, for a start I doubt he has ever even watched an English premier game in his life which explains why he hasn't got a clue how to organise a side to play in it ! Especially away! The man is weak, weak men resort to deflection - that;s exactly what he is doing with Joe ! Trouble is, when you deflect, there comes a time when you run out of credibility and people to project your weaknesses on ! I would like to ask our esteemed manager ' which part of Sunday was Joe's fault ?' Was it the garbage defending, the shot shy front, the fact that every payer looked like jelly on wheels everytime Sunderland ran with the ball ? The fact that we had a goalkeeper whose instincts didn't tell him to go the right way for an obvious goal threat WAS THAT ALL JOE'S FAULT ! Sickeningly, we have tweedledum and tweedledee from Barcelona who have obviously decided that a 31 year old cast off from their old club is better than our Joe. .CLUELESS.! This isn't building a new dynasty, this is rehashing an old blueprint from a club that did not want to keep them ! Anybody in any doubt about this Barcelona pair, just look at some of the players they have landed us with! As I have said, a beautiful opportunity being squandered. I despair.
