Football Insider say it's Mowbray.

[The Good Sir]

50% not good enough. He was sacked for being 10 points behind Rangers.

Exactly, he's at his best with middling clubs with no real expectations or aspirations. Big club, pressure on, and he crumbled

 

[rubberface]

Why ??? You can still tell young players and learn them when yo run the clock down etc we have played 6 and lost 2 it’s numbers and ability we need we are short.

..learning on the job you mean?? We do need older heads around.

 

[Roker Mackem]

We've got Tony Mowbray, we've got Tony Mowbray. Na na na na, na na na na..

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

If we sold Stewart for £15m to Newcastle you'd be OK with it I think that tells us everything we need to know about you.

It's the fee as much as the destination. If we get an offer for £15m, it will be accepted, wherever it's from. Not in this window, because there's no time to reinvest. But developed players will be sold. That's the way it works.

 

[rapscallion]

If you're saying that about me, withdraw it immediately. That's a libel.

Get over yourself. It's at least the second time you've attacked people with the law. eek

 

[hank williams]

Any professional manager would probably keep that team in the championship, that is no achievement whatsoever.

We need someone to help push us on and stop settling for f***ing safe.

We're no were near ready for the Premier league & you say I'm blinkered

He'd not being recruited for the PL; he's being recruited to get us through the adaptation to playing in this division. I've never expected more than mid-table this season.

No true Sunderland fan would say they're happy to let their star striker leave for those up the road for what would be a reasonable fee. Just doesn't add up.

 

[Turnip from the Tip]

Grayson, Parkinson, Mowbray all plodders that should have never been considered for Sunderland. We’re bottom 3 under Mowbray… hasn’t got a clue about modern football.

Didn’t Blackburn finish about 8th in the championship last season?

So who would you bring in with big club experience?

It's happened before and it will happen again. Simple fact of life. And I said content, not happy.

Didn’t Blackburn finish about 8th in the championship last season?

They did.

"There's no door anymore. I've knocked it down"....

what I'm saying is I'm hearing a good few folk using the line of, ahhh well we've got to wait for premier league teams to sort their squads out that's why we're struggling to bring players in, are they the only players we can sign like? Well we're apparently on the verge of signing a lad from...

Start pushing on towards the top half and then next season play offs.

All I keep hearing is Mowbary will keep us up, of course he will almost any manager would

I've already explained how I was wrong there. Simply because I was using the same lazy stereotypes as so many. I simply researched the facts. And then realised I was wrong. Changing your opinion as you get new information is kind of normal. Apart from here it seems.
