Lee Johnson does one

I couldn't resist, and posted that on their board, and they actually took it rather well.

It seems it might not be going ahead, as Sky are reporting they're in advanced talks with Alex Neil now.

Maybe they're waiting to see if Rooney's available any time soon?

 

John Terry?

 

I'm pretty sure if Grant has missed out to John Terry he has dodged a bullet, if he thinks our fans are hard to win over, then up there it would be doubly difficult.

 

It's the nature of the modern game, J.Ex - the bigger the club the bigger are the expectation, all managers have it to deal with; I think it's water off a ducks back for most of them.

 

Sunderland fans expectations are IMO way and above where they are actually are.

 

It's a bit different for us this time around, as the new owner seemingly wanted his own man in charge, but in the normal course of events, what sort of questions could a chairman be asking of the potential manager at an interview?

Surely they know how they tend to play and operate by that point?

 

How quickly they respond to demands to give a wave? Obviously in Sunderland they won't be asked if they are a red and white or a black and white.

 

I bet Steve Bruce was.

 

I think they knew.

 

All fans can do is support the team through the turnstiles
I’d say the Sunderland fans/ crowd are doing their part
The owners and managers aren’t doing it
If we had 30 thousand every home game then surely we would think were better than league 1 or the championship?

 

And have an impressive away following.

 

They still hold it against Steve Bruce and have never forgiven him.

 

Fair appointment for them
No idea who they got or bought in the transfer window but he’s a decent manager

 

Ex-Tiger Phil Jevons has been in charge temporarily at Sunderland.

 

Sheffield Wednesday do.

 

I dislike Alex Neil with a passion, twice I have been behind his dugout during games, and he is the biggest moaning gobby twat I've ever had the misfortune to be in earshot of him.

 

Ah, you've obviously never been in Ebenezer's when SteveRico is in full rant mode!

 

You forgot about the Scottish bit

 

Yeah but apart from being moany, gobby, twattish and Scottish, I think he quite likes him really.
