Football Insider say it's Mowbray.

[Howard the Duck]

I reported it by the way. Just thought it was so out of the line and unnecessary. Perhaps have a think why others think this before so go spitting your dummy out like a little bairn. That's my friendly advice to you.

 

[samaistonsrightfoot]

Why?

He plays attacking football
He like an aggressive press
He has a track record of developing players, and getting in good loan players (eg Elliott and Adarabioyo)
He plays 3-5-2 or 2-4-3-1
He has a good record and deep knowledge at Championship level

That seems to tick pretty much all the boxes.

He's Lee Johnson?

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

That's different to being 'content'. Would there be no sadness, no disappointment as a Sundeland fan? Doesn't seem like it from what you've said so far

Sadness that he hadn't gone to a better place, softened by a fee that allows us to bring in a number of young prospects. I'd prefer a different destination, but if it happened there's fuck all I can do about it. There's an inevitability of out better players going to allow reinvestment. For what it's worth, it's probably a hypothetical based on their galactico model.

Not from what i have seen so far this season. League really isn't that much tbh. Norwich fans were saying they couldn't believe how shit the league is, i agree.

strange comments from norwich fans considering they were in the premier league last season and have already lost 2 games and were fortunate to beat us

 

[Mackemed]

No-one's ever thought I'm not a Sunderland fan on here, that's the thing. Interesting isn't it?

 

[stan the man]

Shocking appointment. ZERO ambition.

We beat Rotherham 4-0 ....... he's the Messiah

 

[AyeAyeAye]

Wrong, Do some research and try again. Subs bench, sheesh.

I’ve watched many of he’s team and he is a dour negative manager. Where have you seen different?

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

You don't get excited either way about events you can't control but accusations on a message board make you so, so angry? I'm sorry but you're just not making any sense tonight Grumpy lad. Perhaps you should go to bed.

Because I can take action on that. All I wanted was a withdrawal of a completely false accusation. Sometimes you have to go over the top to get a retraction. I'm not really a litigious person. I just need to make people aware of how out of line they are, and sometimes on here that means using a metaphorical bludgeon. Wouldn't you find such an accusation incredibly offensive?

 

[rubberface]

I admire your optimism, I'd say we need a year here to get the younger lads up to speed of the league and gain experience.

If we then fluked promotion, it's a massive overhaul of the squad (forest style) or do you see it different?

Nah mate, if we went up we would need something similar to what Forest have done. Cross that bridge when we come to it as they say i want us to show ambition for a change. Life's too short

 

[AyeAyeAye]

Give owa man.


He’s nowt like Bruce tbf.

He’s exactly like Bruce

 

[rubberface]

I'll not go now then

According to sky forest have spent 130 million so far this summer.

That's a f***ing big gamble imo

Don't know mate, no-one's accused me of it...

Well, least you can't blame the owners. Norwich fans are sick as chips going up and down constantly with their aporoach to it all.

It all seems a bit scattergun as well. Christ knows how the squad that got promoted feel. Could be worth a couple of cheeky loan offers in the next couple of days.

He's absolutely nothing like Bruce you tool.

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Well, imagine something similar happening to you. I'm touchy because it impinges on my professional integrity - akin to me being accused of taking bribes. Possibly oversensitive, but that's how it feels.

I think it's 17 new players they have brought in, definitely be some players available

I couldn't handle the Norwich approach but then Im sure forest fans will be praying this gamble pays off or they will be in serious trouble

Given they're only allowed a 25 man PL squad, it's inevitable. If they don't stay up, it's going to bite them on the arse big time.

How does it impigne on your 'professional integrity'? You are a Sunderland 'fan' aren't you? None of us are working or discussing work here...are we??
