Mogga's last stand

[Father Jack Hackett]

I'd like to see him stay til the end of the season but probably not beyond that

What is it with fans like you?
Not a single fan would have swapped Neil for Mowbray at the time. However, we all got behind him and probably got into a false support/hope when he was appointed and rightly so.
He had a decent start, but ever since then been it has been shit. We all got behind him, we all support the team, but he isn’t and never will be the right appointment. Imo he is f***ing shit.
It’s not cos of a defeat, if we all look from an outside perspective we are worse off with Mowbray than Neil

Why do you pine for Alex Neil so much. The guy’s record is no better than Mowbray. He’s literally below us with a more extensively assembled squad.

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

2 months since we sacked a manager and the natives are restless.

We didn't sack anyone

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

We’ll not get a proper manager under this model. It would have to be a head coach whose happy to work under Speakman. Essentially a yes man (or someone who toes the line) or someone desperate to get back into the game as you said.

As I’ve said many times if you were Alex Neil, having just got us promoted would you be taking instruction off someone who’d only ever managed Birmingham’s academy for buttons? No, you would not. Hence we no longer have Alex Neil. But fuck Alex Neil of course. We must not forget that.

Tell us who your "proper manager" is then.

Alex Neil who is currently 19th with an expensively assembled squad having won 3 games since August

So if we finished in the playoffs, you wouldn’t want him to stay on?

No I would which I why I said "probably"

Are you asking for an example of a proper manager?

 

[chuckyroll]

He was a f***ing shit appointment and I couldn't believe people started talking themselves into the fact he was a good one.

Today was inexcusable

Safc are good at this

This is that poster's main gripe. He just wants unlimited cash hoyed about. You know, the thing that got us in the shit in the first place.

Who do you think we should appoint? Simple question.

Don't disagree with Mr know it all

I’m sure many would love to pursue the Nottingham Forest model every summer.

That wasn’t your question though was it?

You’ve also just made up the fact I want cash splashed about. Show me one post in my posting history where I’ve said that.

I’ve also not called for Mowbray to go.

I agree with the majority of comments that what is being served up is absolutely dire. Yesterday was basically 11 names “go out and do your best”, there was no plan or system and we were very lucky that we were not being trounced by half time. Saying “ we had a few set pieces” , wonder if he realises, we are the only team not to have scored from a set piece this season. At least Neil had a strategy and a plan having watched videos of the opposition and set out his stall on the basis of what he had seen. Yesterday was a total “scattergun approach”, with a shocking outcome. The owner and his team say he was the best applicant out of a 1000, no he was out of work, lived in the area, cheap, and does what he is told. We need correct the wrongs quickly or we will be in deep shit.

Does Mowbray not watch videos of the opposition like?

You would think Neil was Alex Ferguson the way some people go on

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

I’m sure many would love to purse the Nottingham Forest model every summer.

Don't look at the player. If he cost £13.6m, he must be mint. That number's not chosen randomly.

 

[Safc98]

Most at the start of the season said mid table. Some said just stay up. We’re currently 13th. But that isn’t enough. Don’t understand it.

Alex Neil was a much better manager for Sunderland than Tony Mowbray is. Not even close.

Use results and records at other clubs all you want, none of it has any bearing on the job they did/are doing at Sunderland.

People forget it was the absolute dirge that was League One. Any Championship manager worth anything should look like Fergie in that league. Mowbray actually won it.

One was in League One. One is in the Champ with no striker. Makes no sense at all.

Exactly mate. But speaking this type of sense won’t go down well.

“Sense” You think Alex Neil was a class manager because he got Sunderland promoted from League One. It’s literally the minimum requirement. How’s he doing now, with better resources? Hardly Fergie is he.
