Sunderland have hoped, over the last few seasons, to finally find a more permanent solution to the messes they have often found themselves in. The club is in all sorts of trouble all over again after a disastrous season on the pitch so far, having barely averted relegation the season before.
Dick Advocaat seemed to have offered them an opportunity to set things right after taking over at the fledgling Wearside club.
After much drama in the summer break, Advocaat’s decision to stay at the club as manager over the course of this season was welcomed by Sunderland supporters. However, things really haven’t worked out according to plan for the club.
Advocaat left after the team started meekly surrendering games right at the beginning of the season and the results haven’t gotten much better since.
Sunderland, now under the guidance of Big Sam Allardyce, still aren’t clear of the relegation spots with only a few games to go.It doesn’t seem to help that their best player is in prison, incarcerated for having groomed a minor and indulged in sexual activity with a 15-year-old.
Sunderland fans continue to hope that all that’s happened this season is just a big bad nightmare that’ll all be over soon. They’ll be lucky if they don’t wake up from this bad dream right in the middle of the Championship.
