I'm not going over it again tbh. You love MoN and I've never really got it. I didn't want him in the first place.

I didn't love him and he had faults. He was undermined by the owner though and right or wrong, the minute that happened at QPR the writing was on the wall.

Wasn't his sacking because we played the most turgid football I've ever seen, including Poyet, coupled with the fact we weren't getting results?

We weren't very good. We have not been very good before he came or after he went.

He appears to be measured by a different stick to the rest.

Himself to blame though really. He was very well backed and failed ultimately

Absolute horseshite mate, he gets off lightly. Compare him to Bruce and poyet. Doesn't get anywhere near the stick. Quite the opposite.

"I'm gutted it didn't work out for him" arselicking

He bought Fletcher IIRC?

Unfortunately. £12m...

Graham for £5.5m
 
I'd say dinosaur is a suitable description. He is a great manager. Best man management motivational manager I've seen bar none. He is terrible in the transfer market though and an absolute **** muscle. Seems like a fit for Leicester I'd say, without bringing out Cloughie quotes.

I don't think he is, I still like him comes across an alright enough bloke, but we were so bad.
 
Who amongst us realised that it wasn't O'Neill we needed, but O'Neill with John Robertson? I certainly didn't.

I can see the vultures circling so I am going to step out after this. His time here will always rankle as who knows, given time what he might have done. He made mistakes, being their 5 minutes a week or 50 hours is irrelevant to that though.

The owner had a panic at the wrong time, undermined him and that was that. The signing of Graham was mental beyond belief and I can never fathom that one as he was the last thing we needed.

Part of me is sad because he was a proper manager and we haven't had many of those, the other part is just, well, it's Sunderland.

Shame for all concerned. There were no winners.

Fair enough. I can't agree though.

Still like O neill. The most depressing of all managerial failures here. I've never been that gutted about a manager being sacked.

He'd be a bad appointment for Leicester, if his time here is anything to go by.

I honestly don't get this part. Is it because of the tattoo myth?
 
SebastienELLISbexter said:
You don't have to get it. I liked him, a lot. He was a sunderland fan. No idea about the tattoo, I've genuinely not heard that before.

He wasn't a fan though was he? He listened to a few games as a kid when he loved Charlie Hurley. Means nowt in the grand scheme of things.

Honestly can't get my head around why he's so liked. Pepe saying he's judged harshly is ridiculously ironic.
