Jordanderve Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Hi Everyone On a reasonably grey, gloomy and dreary day, I thought I would pass on some possible news to cheer everyone up. I work with a Sunderland season ticket holder and there are certain snippets coming out up there that McLeish is a very strong possibility for Sunderland after 'interviewing very well'...sounds familar. He enjoyed every minute of taking the piss out of me when that clown was in charge of us and so in the words of a certain Mr Keegan ..."I would just LOVE IT!" if McLeish ended up at Sunderland.

Pongotastic Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 They like our ex managers. Next stop Houllier.... or even Billy McNeill. That would be a laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coda Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Poyet must have shat in the wrong place again (allegedly). Still can't see it being McLeish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordanderve Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 I really do hope this happens. It is said that it isn't necessarily a certainty but the Mcleish interview is the sole reason why Poyet hasn't already go the job. Word is that McLeish would take GMac as his number two. Odds have come in on betfair today too (it doesn't take much for this to happen, I appreciate). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I see McLeish's path mirroring McClaren's. He'll go to a decent Championship side and bore them to tears. He doesn't deserve a Premier League job after what he put us through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel McLeish, like McClaren, has finally been found out. There must be better options than these dinosaurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 If given a choice surely you would have pulis over the draw master general, both play awful football but atleast pulis was reletively successful in his job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I so hope this happens. Wonder if the press will say that the Mackem fans dont want him just because he used to manage Villa and the obvious rivalry between us 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be better options than these dinosaurs.I think that is a little harsh on McClaren. I admit he was car crash television when in charge at England. He was a failure no doubt. But would that mean Graham Taylor was a terrible manager too? Outside the England job, his CV is decent. A well respected coach and when he was at Boro they were always a solid midtable side. Not the most interesting of sides, but what theyhave done since he has left? A low level championship side. He won the League Cup and took them to the Uefa cup final. He followed Sir Bobby's advice and went to the Netherlands, in which he won the league title. Has Moyes got one of the those? This Derby job is probably his last chance to turn his career around, and he might well just do that. I would have him over TSM any day. Ooops, double post sorry.
