Given all the rumour, hearsay etc re Pearson, do you really believe anyone but him plays a pivotal role in team affairs and management? I doubt pearson gives a monkeys about skp's history with the club. He might pay it lip service to get the role but I suspect skp would be reduced to little else but organising training cones and equipment and maybe a little one on one with the strikers. A glorified flunky. I doubt delegation and democracy are part of pearson's lexicon
I dont know, your probably right but i think he would get us out of this shìtty league at the least. I still fancy Stendel mind.
Yep..other than stendel it is the football equivalent of a communist food shop window in the 70's...stale, bland .
Didn't they work together at Leicester? So Phillips will know how Pearson works and must be happy with a role working for him.
No doubt, but we know that the world abounds with 'yes men'. Let's not forget both men have been out of work for over 6 months. When they did both last work they were failures. Neither fill me with any thing like the confidence I have in stendel. But that is just my opinion
I'm not pushing these two as the right choice, but I believe that Pearson left Leicester with the team that went on to win the title and other than Stoke, Phillips has worked with two successful teams, as a coach. You could say nearly every manager is a failure as they nearly all get sacked eventually.
He lasted less than 6 mths at derby and just over a year at a low level Belgian after leaving Leicester. Philipps worked with McLaren, Clement and rowett after Pearson left derby. All those 3 failed miserably. I'm trying to find an upside for skp bht I just dont see one as a manager or even a coach. As they say it is all about opinions. If he does join let's hope eh. I'd have him over ainsworth like
Well I'm glad I don't have to make this decision. I can see positives in all the main candidates. And negatives. Whoever comes in it's a gamble that he gets the players firing quickly. I might just lean towards Pearson and SKP (with SKP stepping up when Pearson has a meltdown). But I'll support whoever.
These stats suggest Stendel or Cook would be best. I'd be happier with either of them than all of the others with L1 experience. https://rokerreport.sbnation.com/20...e-front-runners-to-become-sunderlands-manager
As with investment/takeover nowt happening today about the new manager.. I will check forums tomorrow... until then get on with my life
I'd have Pearson and SKP also though obviously we'd not as packed out. Basically we need a manager who will kick players into shape, not bore them to death like Ross and Moyes!
Two are being interviewed today but no news coming out. They have a shortlist and have being seeing people all week. They need to make a quick decision and try to recover some momentum. In the meantime there's no harm in people speculating or giving opinions on the candidates.
You'll be fine unless you put a time limit on it ... .... I'm still hoping to cash in on Robbie Fowler
