I get what your saying, but speaking to Sunderland and speaking to our biggest rival is a bit different! Will be interesting to see what Derek says about it all. Need to put a performance on tomorrow night, that’s the most important thing.

He will need a speech writer to win most of us reds back

There is some major explaining to do and a big rework job to get fans back on his side - the way derek and the club have handled this situation is nothing short of shambolic and embarassing for us fans
