The owners have changed but the recruitment clearly hasn't. He may turn out to be a good manager but to me it seems like the type of situation where a manager knows a club, expectations are low, he's allowed time and has decent success over a long timescale.

That's just about the opposite of the situation he'd walk into here. I'm not sure this is a great idea.

Exactly. First 1-1 draw and people will be calling for him to be sacked and replaced with Pep.

Is Gareth Ainsworth any good? Would he make a good Sunderland manager? BBC commentator tells all

Gareth Ainsworth is one of the clear favourites to become the next Sunderland manager, but is he any good? We sat down with Wycombe match commentator Phil Catchpole to pick his brains and find out more about a man he’s worked closely with for many years.

Interesting read. I’m really not convinced like but that does sound positive.

Well you can see why we are interested

Last season?

Stendl: 91 points from 46 games
Ross: 85 points from 46 games.

Strendl had a far better side than Ross did mate. I know that's not a popular opinion but I think its true. Ross also had a lot of turmoil behind the scenes to deal with and lost his star player in January. Had Ross and Strendl swapped places at the start of last season, there is every chance Barnsley would have been even further ahead of us.

I actually think he’ll be alright. Attacking, 4-3-3 rather than shite 4-2-3-1, team set up for the dark arts, got a bit of arrogance about him. He won’t be as bad as we might think.

Mmmmmmmm

Not sure fella.

We need ambition and evidence that it can be delivered. This lad hasn't went close to either. Like his enthusiasm, but feel it maybe a leap to far.
