Has anyone called him a 'servant' yet? Like (the millionaire and failure) John o Shea

He'll be a very good MF coach and probably the new Bobby Saxton. Would make an iconic manager as well over time, he lives and breathes SAFC so he's always going to be a future candidate. If we are still paying him then certainly look at getting him back on coaching duties.

Unlucky not to be capped by England, albeit in a shite era for the England squad. Always had better central midfielders. Mad to think Nugent, Bothroyd and Flanagan got a cap. He’s a Sunderland hero amongst a real shower of shite.
Say what you want about him but we missed him last year, and 10yrs at one club deserves some praise. I liked watching him, I thought he was good footballer.
I always like the idea of ex players cominn back as coach and we don’t see a lot of this. Hopefully we can utilise him some way.

No surprise really, played at the top level from 16, injuries caught up with him
We would stop paying surely, and that's if we are still paying him. It's a big IF.

Played Premier League football at Sunderland for 7 years. Not many we can say that about. Its a shame he had so many injuries, you could argue he never reached his full potential. I remember when Henderson left, Catts was also getting linked with Liverpool, and justifiably so.
Played some class football under Poyet and proved a lot of doubters wrong that thought he was all grit and no technique. Was also instrumental in staying up under Advocaat as a pure destroyer and Allardyce as a pressing midfielder.
As a younger fan (24) that doesn't really remember the good times with Reid/Quinn/Phillips, I can firmly say he's been my favourite player in my time supporting the lads.

Love Catts me
If he's retiring then surely we won't have to pay him up to the end of his contract.

One of the best performances I've seen from a Sunderland player live, he was immense that day.
Didn't knaa that. Answers my post above.
People mistake someone shouting and fouling people as commitment. I’d rather just have good players. When we signed him and we were half decent I always felt he dragged our quality level down in midfield. Literally couldn’t receive a ball with another player within 15ft of him as his arse would fall out and he’d give it away. As we went down through the leagues I always thought well at least he’ll find his level. I was still f***ing waiting in league 1. And we’re still paying his wages. Lovely stuff.

Indeed. This.
A good appointment if only for his professional attitude towards the game.
