Jordanderve Posted October 4, 2013 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 Posted October 4, 2013 They like our ex managers. Next stop Houllier.... or even Billy McNeill. That would be a laugh.
coda Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Poyet must have shat in the wrong place again (allegedly). Still can't see it being McLeish.

Jordanderve Posted October 4, 2013 Author 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).
coda Posted October 4, 2013 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.

Nigel Posted October 4, 2013 VT Supporter Posted October 4, 2013 Never talk about betting and McLeish! (A few of us still have burning holes in our wallets) 2

I feel McLeish, like McClaren, has finally been found out. There must be better options than these dinosaurs.

I haven't had this much fun at work since we beat them 6-1 last season
Jimzk5 Posted October 4, 2013 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

thetrees Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Carling cup win and a few micky mouse trophys north of the border aside mind Why bring Martin O'Neill into it now 4
Guest Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Pit some money on this a few weeks back so I hope so.
Richard Posted October 4, 2013 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

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. Edited October 4, 2013 by blandy
