So hopefully an investigation will take place, on their coming cancellations & also there should be one on why they felt that they had to play last night. It’s irresponsible of them, especially if any Wimbledon players get sick. However, I don’t trust the EFL, clubs should report cases to them & they should be the ones making the decision. I would have thought if one first team player had symptoms then the rest go into isolation & get tested. They can still investigate to rule out clubs trying to get games off for other reasons. Question- has the EFL completed there investigation into Accrington & others that have called games off? Knowing how quick & inconsistent they are with their decision making, we will probably waiting until June as to their decision on whether we get penalised in any way.

Irresponsible comments from a very foolish man at best. If a team has Covid in the camp then cancelling the game is 100% the right thing to do. Sunderland choosing to risk their own players, officials, staff at the ground and the opposition ( plus the teams they all play next ) is pathetic. For what 3 points ? Proud that we did the right thing and if we lose points as the fool is suggesting then I would still rather we did the right thing.
Bottom line the football authorities are very unlikely to punish a club doing the right thing as they will leave themselves open to a massive public outcry and accusations from press and government they are not managing the risk in their sport properly. That could result in all football being stopped and no governing body would do that.

So he’s admitted that they were in the wrong in his comments and we were in the right yet calls for us to be investigated ? No wonder he such a sh** manager he clearly doesn’t understand the basics.

We won’t get in any trouble for this don’t worry. We’ve played it by the book but basket case Sunderland with their basket case new manager have got themselves in a right mess over this. Surprised ? No.

The more I think of it the more it fits. Sunderland, the laughing stock of English football and the biggest basket case of a club going. They’ve just appointed a new manager. Great fit. UTG

As this thread is loosely associated with a former sh** manager, over on One Turd some 6 fingered retard calling himself Major P1sswater is suggesting they sack Holden and take Tisdale off us.
A number of his fellow mutants agree with him.
Oh, and the mammoth Gas thread has made it back onto page 1, so they do still care about us.

I prefer it on page 2 purely because it means they lost and there is an epic meltdown going on. But it has to be said, they lose 2 games in a row, hardly move in the league from their position near the play offs and yet they want to sack the manager?! Madness. Imagine if they had had Garner inflicted on them?!

I never thought I’d say this, but I actually feel a bit sorry for them. Imagine your owner having a personal wealth of £2.3 Billion, personally funded the redevelopment of the stadium and training ground so it becomes premier league standard and over the years invested over 150 million, but when it comes to the thing the supporters care about, the actual football, he’s useless. Lansdown must insist on hiring inexperienced managers because other than coppell they haven’t had one in over 10 years. And only that lasted the best part of a few months! He surrounds himself with corporate yes men like Ashton and let’s little Jonny be the chairman who constantly expects better whilst at the same time expecting the team to sell their best players and rebuild immediately. Lee Johnson back to the original thread title IMO worked absolute miracles under those conditions and now Holden is probably doing the best he can under those same rubbish conditions the way Lansdown wants things to be ran but let’s his little puppet Ashton take the brunt. He probably cares more about this sporting quarter than funding for a proper squad. The worst thing is because he’s put so much into the facilities and raises the bar for their supporters, they have become unbearable in recent times that they believe they’re something that they’re not (well not yet anyway), and their treatment of Holden on social media other a couple of losses has been frankly delusional and embarrassing. They’re only 2 points off the play off places with loads of injuries and acting like he’s the spawn of Satan.

They’re only 2 points off the play off places with loads of injuries and acting like he’s the spawn of Satan. I don't feel any sorrow for them. Lansdown and his band of yes-men have zero class. The red-faced tax-dodger conspired with the midget to take The Snake from us, then sanctioned that puerile "Welcome to Bristol" charade. It wasn't even original, having been trailed by Man City when they signed Tevez. As for their fans, what a horrible bunch of entitled, ungracious morons they are. Most on that awful forum have failed to grasp the concept of a one year rolling contract, and believe Holden can be fired as soon as he's had a year in the job. Another, more enlightened member, who probably doesn't have to get a small child to write down his thoughts, has pointed out on several occasions the provisions of this type of deal, but the inbred imbeciles have failed to understand. I so hope they get relegated. I think Lansdown will find it difficult to fire Holden, who seems a genuinely nice guy, too good for them, because, like with Johnson, he can't admit a mistake.

Quote of the day from LJ: "I used a quote - and I hope it didn't make me sound like a d***head - but I said 'if you're not fired with enthusiasm, you'll be fired with enthusiasm'. Yes, it did. To be honest I think introducing himself to his new players with something like this is more likely to wind his existing squad up rather than endear him to them. Imagine being bombarded by motivational sound bites and quotes from “a book wot I just read” by someone who achieved very little as a player and even less as a manager, unless you count unbeaten streaks and winless streaks in equal measure as success plus of course he did mastermind the occasional victory over a side significantly better than his...but even our Ben managed that once, ironically against the black cats. I think they’ll find him out and act a bit quicker because they will ditch him after the first diabolical run of form rather than the second or third like his loyal board/owners did in south Bristol.

As I understand it, the EFL will investigate any match postponements due to covid to ensure a club isn't using it as a cover or an excuse for something else, if they have an injury ravaged squad for example. Hence the rather stiff wording from the EFL statement.
So as long as we can prove that 2 of our 1st team players had a positive test result from the Plymouth game to the morning of the Charlton game, and that those players had been in close contact with other members of the squad, who may have developed symptoms and are awaiting test results, then postponing the game is absolutely the right thing to do, as is self isolating for the players that had close contact. I would have absolutely no grumbles if Charlton had the 2 CV tests and called off the game.
As I understand it, Sunderland had no positive CV tests, just some in isolation, so there was no evidence to suggest there would be a pandemic in their camp, so they had no grounds in which to postpone. I'm really not sure what Robinson or Johnson have to moan about. It is what it is, we knew that this would be a problem throughout the season, so suck it up sweet cheeks.
