@JBeckett87 @Truthseeker0702 @TurfCastPodcast Flemming has done well but 1 striker scoring 9 goals doesnt keep you up. He'd need to have 30 for us to be serious about staying up as the other 3 probably havent got more than 9 between them and we've had very few from midfield.

@LukePassmore7 @Truthseeker0702 @TurfCastPodcast You said specifically that they strengthened on a key core, when realistically they changed extremely large parts of their team. As for the 4 strikers, we have one of the top 10 goals per minutes strikers in the league, he's just not played enough.

While I'm obviously happy about the reports regarding Parker's future from SSN, why now? Why not four months ago to give us a fighting chance of staying up? All these rumours of relegation clauses which make it cheaper to sack him may have been true. If only we had been a little bit more proactive, we may have had a chance.

@JBeckett87 @Truthseeker0702 @TurfCastPodcast We were shit going forward last season. Defensively we lost CJ and Esteve got exposed in the PL. Walker is way past his best. Tactically Parker is certainly no genius but i think its speaks more that the players just arent good enough at this level.

@LukePassmore7 @Truthseeker0702 @TurfCastPodcast Thats the bit I put on parker, I can accept being shit going forward if we are tight at the back, or shit at the back but we create chance after chance, but to be shit at going forward AND shit at the back speaks to structural problems and playing style.

@jonnybhoy219 @TurfCastPodcast ALK's model is to buy/sell for profit and yoyo between the 2 leagues, taking advantage of TV rights and parachute payments to sustain and make even more profit. They have NO interest in football. They are not football people. Accept that and it makes more sense. It won't change.

@LukePassmore7 @TurfCastPodcast If we don't have money to sack a manger, with a season and a half left on his £800k annually contract, in a season when we're in the Premier league, something is seriously wrong. Your argument then is: We were odds on to go down so let's just accept that as inevitable?

@jonnybhoy219 @TurfCastPodcast I'll go back to the 4 strikers we started the season with. Foster isn't even good in the Championship. Barnes is there for morale only. Broja has barely played a game in the past 4 years and Flemming over achieved. ALK accepted relegation before we kicked a ball with those 4.

@jonnybhoy219 @TurfCastPodcast I don't think sacking a manager in the way you're suggesting is that viable for a club like ours. If we don't have money to buy the players we need then we don't have it to pay out contracts of managers. We were odds on to go down anyway... why would they throw money away?

@LukePassmore7 @TurfCastPodcast I'm not suggesting sacking him before the season. He should've gone in November when the writing was on the wall. Of course you can ask for more than a manager who "tries but isn't good enough"!!! As I said, I agree with you on ALKs model. Not sure what you're trying to argue?

@owenhah12 @LaFocaFachera @TurfCastPodcast Sorry, 2nd place with an amazing points total... despite ALK selling 5 of his starting 11 within 3 weeks of him taking the manager's job. If we want to complain then let's look at the state of what VK left us with and ALK's failure to strengthen key areas.

@LukePassmore7 @LaFocaFachera @TurfCastPodcast won us the league?

@jonnybhoy219 @TurfCastPodcast Sacking a manager that just got us 100 pts was never going to happen, was it? He tried and wasn't good enough. You can't ask more than that but he wasn't helped by ALK's model which basically will leave us never having a strong core to the squad to build around.

@LukePassmore7 @TurfCastPodcast No. It wasn't going to be any different... Which is why we should've got rid. Completely agree the ALK model of ripping it up and starting again every season is a shocking idea.

@JBeckett87 @Truthseeker0702 @TurfCastPodcast So they strengthened key areas and we didn't? We were relegated before we started with the 4 strikers we had. Egan Riley left and so we had a weak or very inexperienced central defence, a very old right back and a weak left back with a midfield lacking creativity. Parker's fault?

@LukePassmore7 @Truthseeker0702 @TurfCastPodcast Of Sunderlands top 13 minutes played this season, 10 of those players are new signings, only Ballard La Fee and Hume are in there.

@LaFocaFachera @TurfCastPodcast The guy that won us the league last year against the odds suddenly became the problem when his team wasnt good enough in a higher league. Ok.

@LukePassmore7 @TurfCastPodcast Most players are not the problem. Parker is definitely the problem.

@bread2toastie @TurfCastPodcast We have maybe 6 players at the very most of genuine PL quality. None of our strikers are. Only Flemming is Championship quality. Our defence are Championship quality. Maybe a couple of midfielders might make bottom of the PL sides. Aside from that they have no love for us.

@LukePassmore7 @TurfCastPodcast I watched basically every minute of this team and while I agree that not all of the 11s picked per match could have kept us up, we have 13+ players of prem quality that would find success in other teams. Of that I have no doubt. Parker just oozed negativity in his play.

@Truthseeker0702 @TurfCastPodcast Both have built on a strong core of their previous squad last season. We have bought 50+ players in 3 seasons and sold almost as many... there is literally no comparison. Both are also much bigger clubs with much bigger pull than us.

@LukePassmore7 @TurfCastPodcast Nonsense Leeds and Sunderland have proved themselves to have a go and be successful you need to play as a team and be consistent we’ve not played as a team and have been consistently shite.!

@LaFocaFachera @TurfCastPodcast Any supporter with half a brain would remember who we are. Parker wasnt on the pitch. The players should have more pride but have no love for the club and that isnt Parker's fault. Bed time for you pal... school tomorrow.

@LukePassmore7 @TurfCastPodcast Any manager with a brain would’ve given more of a fight than Parker. Fuck off!

@jonnybhoy219 @TurfCastPodcast None of his teams have ever played any differently. Was it ever going to be any different? Bottom line is, the players are a thrown together group with no love or connection to the club. ALK's model will mean we are never able to build a proper squad over time.

@LukePassmore7 @TurfCastPodcast The squad, in particular the strikers, would've made it a tough ask. That said, there's plenty of managers who could've done significantly better than Parker has managed. He sets us up to draw at best.

@bread2toastie @TurfCastPodcast His teams have never ever played a different style of football. Why would anyone expect any different? We have the same points as Kompany's team had. The players arent good enough and dont care for the club... and thats not Parker's fault.

@_ConorBFC The majority of the supporters have been as embarrassing as our strikers this season. Spoilt over the past 10 years to the point of thinking we deserve success to play good football. Absolutely delusional.

Doesn’t mention the supporters once here btw 👍 #twitterclarets

HORRIFIC…WELCOME TO KEIR STALIN’S BRITAIN… A BRITISH GIRL screams “HELP ME! THEY’RE GOING TO RAPE ME” as two Afghan asylum seekers drag her…which she recorded on her phone. Lawyers are BLOCKING the footage because “It would cause RIOTS across Britain”

@SqSehrish 2 years. Mum was 43 when he was born and dad was 6 years younger than 47... so was 41. 2 years difference.

Only 1 in 10 gets this right What is the age difference between parents..?
