Actually we were referred to as "Roy Keane's Sunderland" for a bit by the media, though its long enough ago for us to have forgotten about it. But in the last few years its got worse. It's basically lazy journalism and doesn't actually say whether they are any good or not or if there's reasons why they are performing that way.
They've given Tuchel an 18 month deal apparently. Either they've learned from their mistakes or they're going to sack him off next week to make sure he gets his obligatory payoff.
