Football Insider say it's Mowbray.

An experienced manager who’s going to give us some stability. Great that the club have acted fast, hopefully he’s on the touch line Wednesday.

We were never going to get the likes of Dyche in and the other names rumoured with the job were a massive stab in the dark imo..

FTM and Fuck Alex Neil

I made a post at the weekend where I’d looked at the 92 league managers in place at the minute. 9/92 had been in charge for more than 4 years & 15 more than 3.

If we’re going purely on statistics, it’s likely a new manager would get 3/4 years max before a change, for whatever reason. If it’s longer, they’re obviously doing a good job.

If we break it down & look at it like that, can Mowbray establish us in this league & get us to the point of being able to challenge for the playoffs in 3/4 years. I’d say it’s a decent chance then it’s somebody else’s turn to see if we can kick on again after that.

If we do any decent business before the window shuts, I reckon we could make the playoffs this season.
I'm usually a bit pessimistic regarding SAFC, but I think we're in with a chance.

Blackburn decided to go in a different direction. Not sure why we are going for their past.
Why not someone like Manning who the team can grow with?

Mick Buxton was a safe pair of hands as was Parkinson

Spot on.

Simon Grayson was a safe pair of hands.
Phil Parkinson was a safe pair of hands.
Howard Wilkinson was a safe pair of hands.

It’s such a typical Sunderland appointment. Absolutely reeks of jobs for the boys, cheap, dull, uninspiring. Nowt has changed. We have zero ambition.
 
We need to make progress as a club and a solid mid table finish after 4 years in league one and having developed some good young players on the way would be progress in my eyes.

Can Mowbray deliver that, yeah I reckon he could……could he go again after that and deliver play offs/promotion I’m less certain of that if I’m honest.

Club were put in a tough spot. Poaching a manager like Manning at this stage is no better than what Stoke have done and I understand any hesitancy. We may very well have put out feelers for the likes of Dyche and Bielsa and been turned down. Hopefully Mowbray keeps the ship afloat and in a year or two we can upgrade.

The game of football is not about the moral high ground. Stoke have done nothing wrong, we were contractually obliged to allow Neil to speak to Stoke.

We should be employing the best manager available. Although steadying the ship is not necessarily a bad thing I agree on that front.
