Tindalls Daughter coming out with poorly timed PR and “poor old us” posts. They know the game is up. The novelty of Tindall wore out long ago.

Eddie Howe on today's game at St. James' Park 🎙️

"We don't have the revenue of other clubs… the rules have made it very difficult." 👀 "I don't know a team that wouldn't suffer from that." 😳 "Losing Alex [Isak] last summer was a considerable blow." 😓 Pressure mounts on Eddie Howe after defeat in the Tyne-Wear derby 😬

⚫️ Eddie Howe on Sunderland defeat 🗣️ "This was very, very painful. But it was most painful for our supporters, and it’s them I think about now. There is no excuse, when you have not performed & have not delivered. We have not done our jobs well enough. I understand the reaction at the end of the game. My first thought as a leader is to front up & absorb it. You can use whatever word you want, I won’t challenge it. The only thing we can do is come back stronger from it. 🗣️ "Our technical delivery was off today. We missed three midfielders who would have given us control. It left us unbalanced. The game became transitional & we made it too much like they wanted it. We lost control in the second half. 🗣️ "They were two poor goals to concede but that’s not a one-off for us. We have defended poorly since the turn of the year"

Because I don’t think we are entitled to immediate success, and don’t judge him more harshly because he and the team overachieved in the past. Howe made plenty of mistakes this year, but there’s so many other factors that have led to it - sometimes you just need a reset and that’s what next season will be
