Stop it man, can you all stop saying "Oh well he'll do"... it's what they want you to say man. They're taking the piss.
 
Preferred him over Keane until the collapse then felt we needed the lift and authority that Keane would bring. Would be much less pissed off should Alex Neil get the job rather than McCann. At least there is a possibility of longevity in the appointment.
 
they were hoping for some sort of bounce and upturn in fortunes based purely on momentum with Keane

we should have just kept LJ if this was going to be the result

we'd have finished third whereas now we're about to drop out the f***ing playoffs

Whoever comes in now, I feel like I’ve won Euromillions then lost the ticket…

Wait till Keane takes a role somewhere and it will feel like you’ve giving the winning ticket as a Secret Santa present.

Took Preston from 7th under Simon f***ing Grayson to 16th.

Another superb manager. Takes a special talent to make Grayson look good.

He was then in a division with tons of clubs throwing money at it in desperation to get promoted – some of whom, as we’ve seen, have since found that this has put their very existence in doubt.

He did a really good job with Norwich. He plays attacking, quick football. Good man manager and teams are well organised. Norwich fans – who’ve had their share of s**te too and also love a moan – think he’s great. I know plenty of them.

Said here before, one ST holder there told me that he’s a quick learner. Makes good in-game tactical adjustments (imagine!). And if they came up short against a team once, it wouldn’t happen again. He is young (40). Experienced. Has managed in the Prem. It went pear-shaped there but that’s because they didn’t back him financially and owners were happy for Norwich to do the yo-yo each season.

I know he will feel disappointing after the Keane speculation. But I think a L1 club getting him now can consider themselves pretty fortunate. My heart sank when McCann was mentioned. Neil? Well, I have far better vibes about him.
 
They're all uninspiring, tepid yes men. Absolute bullshit from the club.

Think you'll find the Preston fans will disagree about the attacking quick football
 
So a Sky reporter who has said SAFC aren’t worth mentioning is now reporting “advanced talks” with a bloke with whom Sunderland are supposed to have already spoken at length with?
Where does this all end?
