I've read the link and there is absolutely nothing in there to suggest why they were shit for 7 months and why they suddenly started playing well.
If you think the U turn in form was based on sacking and re-instating him, why did they change their minds and re-sack him after his "remarkable success" in keeping them up? This was done only weeks after the article was written.

I've also seen journos use any opportunity they can to get a manager to say something newsworthy and controversial. Some of the twats deserve to be publicly humiliated. The "Ostrich rant" was f***ing brilliant....:lol:



You didn't read the article, did you? :lol:

An absolute embarrassment. I'd be ashamed if our manager did that.

Yeah, and the point still stands, shite results for the majority of the season, some could say he saved them via a last throw of the dice (Huth coming in and playing 3 at the back), but if some want to put it down to his connection with the players and because he 'cares' about them suddenly clicking when it hadn't done anything for them throughout the season thenso be it, by the way I also read this bit;

Sunderland officials have been impressed by the time the manager spends talking to players, getting to know them as people rather than mere pieces on a tactics board. Like Pearson, Advocaat knows better than to underestimate the importance of the human factor.

Maybe we should keep Dick after all

They weren't shit for 7 months though.....they never got thumped once last season and lots of their games were narrow defeats......there certainly wasn't an 8-0 or even a 4-1 in there.

But Advocaat appears to have mismanaged the "human" side of his job......he's certainly failed to get the best out of key players and his public criticism of them is counter-productive.

Have you got evidence of these "batterings" they took for three quarters of the season?

Aye

Rock bottom for 19 weeks of the season. Lost 18 of their first 19 games until they got the wins at the end which was probably more down to the players realising they were going to get relegated if they didn't pull their finger out. Same as what our players do every year

Don't necessarily disagree but Pearson isn't averse to that either

Personally I don't rate Pearson, he has some qualities but I think his bad points outweigh the good, if he comes, so be it but he wouldn't be my choice

Good post, I hate those players. We've had managers who introduced discipline and they whine like stuck pigs and we've had a manager who treats them like adults and they take the piss. Time for Stan Ternent and a club owner who appreciates that we're dealing with men with no morals, no values apart from the self-serving interests. Absolute bastards.

Of course you would back a Manager who got a massive 2 points from 39 in a run of 13 games, because its a great set of results and not bad in any way shape or form as his team were playing really well every week.
 
to be fair, he'd only be here for a maximum of 14 months before there was a concerted campaign to get rid of him. pretty soon we'll all have to take a turn as manager

His former players don't seem to think so though.

What did you think of Roy Keane by the way?

Exactly. I can't believe Kasper could make that comment and people still think he is a bad choice. As it happens I think someone like Sam Allardyce would be a better option. But he (Nigel) isn't the worst manager in recent history we will have.
