rodders0223 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Strong rumour they are going to give the gig to O'Shea...because you would want the symbol, captain and one of the biggest reasons for their fall into the abyss now running the asylum.

What's odds he comes in for game vs us and lifts Sunderland Doubt they'll appoint anyone before they play us. Stockdale is in charge for Saturday's game and would imagine that would stay the same for our game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 What is going on at that club? It's been two and a half weeks since they sacked Grayson. They had an international break to get someone in. Either literally no one wants the job, Sunderland are being way too picky, or they are trying to cut costs by appointing someone really cheap.

VillaChris Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Ally McCoist is just a comedian isn't he? He'd be practicing stand up in the dressing room so don't really see how a squad could take him seriously. He didn't even manage Rangers in the SPL so limited top level experience so he'd be as bad as O'Shea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 What would a good appointment for Sunderland actually look like? They're basically unmanageable, it seems to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took over when Walter Smith left, mccoist then failed to get through the champions league knock out qualifiers against malmo and then failed in the Europa qualifiers as well, against maribor, this contributed to administration as they were banking on money from playing in Europe, the fact mccoist then managed them to 15 point lead in the league then lose it shows his calibre of management Edited November 17, 2017 by Jimzk5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot can change in football, but currently they are in turmoil We needed a change of ownership and a clearout of the trash in the squad, and even then we still haven't got rid of money-draining disasters like Gabby and Richards. What I mean is, what would a good manager look like, with the squad they have now? Do they need a disciplinarian? A foreign whizz-kid? A hoofball merchant? Someone making a step up? Someone making a return to management from a long period without a club? I just can't see a 'type' that would be successful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 In the circumstances that's a coup for Sunderland. Can't understand Coleman's thinking though, he was on the other day about having ambitions to manage in the champions league (yeah stay with me) and said he'd have to go abroad to do that. When you think about it jobs like Swansea and West Brom will probably come up before xmas. Very odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They surely can't be able to afford paying him 1m a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
