"It's a joke", "Abysmal" - Loads of SAFC fans reveal stance on "mediocre" Sunderland man

Sunderland boss Phil Parkinson has now overseen nine matches in charge and it is fair to say that things haven’t worked out in the way he would have wished so far.

With just 11 goals scored and two wins to his name, Sunderland have exited all three cup competitions and have dropped in the League One table.

Mathematically there is still a very good likelihood of making the play-offs or possibly even the automatic promotion places, but the team seems to be on a steady decline, and fans blame Parkinson for that.

Some think he should never have been given the job while one even believes that keeping Jack Ross would have been a better option, which shows how unimpressive Parkinson has been so far.

It is worth considering that the new boss has had to make do with the players who were already at the club, and he will have to wait until January to bring in any of his own, and therefore it may be a little harsh to judge him so early on.

Regardless, several supporters have made their feelings known, and Parkinson has a lot to do if he is to sway their opinion, as the following reactions show.

Abysmal. Sack him now.

Very poor appointment in my opinion. I would of rather kept Ross . The guys at the top are out of their depth. Very sad times for the club and it’s supporters ☹️

If it’s not 6 points from the next 2 games he should go. We have gone backwards since he came in. No confidence, no fight.

Never understood his appointment!
His past stats aren’t impressive,in fact they’re mediocre at best!
There were better qualified names being banded around & for some reason they didn’t make the grade!
Teams regressed under him & it looks like the job is too big for him to handle!

Parkinson is a dinosaur, we should have went for someone who had recent success in league 2 ie Stendl…
