Oof- who would want it?

I think there was a combination of things.
1. He never got what he wanted in the way of player signings
2. At 68 he didn't fancy a season of relegation struggles possibly blighting his record.

personally i think he's a good manage but as we so often see, "good" managers succeed at clubs who spend money. Look at the vast majority of successful managers around Europe. They do reasonably well at a small club, progress to a slightly better club and then fall apart when either a) the competition is greater or b) the expectations are higher.

I also believe that Sunderland are suffering from a lack of football people at the helm.
How can a CEO of a company that loses money and struggles to survive year on year keep their position?

I think it's a good choice considering some of the names that were bandied around if only for the fact that he has experience. Advocaat aside the experimental appointments of Di Canio and Poyet were destined to fail as i think one of the biggest attributes at that level is man management.

He also understands the region having captained the club for a season. I guess time will tell.

Hmm... far be it for me to comment on another club in this way but....


Haven't Sunderland got a bit of a problem with a err... drinking culture?

Not sure that Big Sam is the one to sort it out?

I would say that they used to. But in all honesty you can't blame the fans for having a tipple given the garbage we've been served up for quite a few years now

Think you have a decent chance of staying up now with big Sam in charge.

On another note, great to see Kane get a hattrick this afternoon - definitely needed that.

Hotel room with balcony and sea view, lovely weather considering it's late October, extra hour in bed, gorgeous walk along the beach and a 5-1 win with a hattrick from my fantasy captain Kane to round it off - if Carlsberg did weekends, then this could have been it. But it wasn't quite. An hour in traffic jams in each direction (meaning I missed the grands prix) and all day Saturday spent working instead of enjoying the location

Still a pretty good weekend anyway.
