A system set up to fail.
The manager knows he is, at best, 2 bad months away from the sack.
Manager tailors club accordingly towards the next 2 months.
Tailoring the club towards the next 2 months brings shit consequences.
Eventually, it always catches up with the manager.
Rinse and repeat.

Youngster linked with Leeds United 'wants to play for Sunderland' and is forcing his way into Phil Parkinson's plans

“As a young player, you don't get the chance in football to feel your way in. You've got to take your chance and make an impact when you come to train with the first team."
This is backwards, isn't it?
Why wouldn't you as a young player get the chance to "feel" your way in?
Are they expected at 18 to instantly improve the first team?
He will probably start alongside leadbitter with O'Brien up front so doesn't look as good as he could beHe'll be starting the EFL Trophy game, be amazed if he even gets a chance in the League Cup game never mind an actual league game.
What does double pivot mean?The double pivot thing is just bad.
A lot of people said you need a Nick Powell to get the most out of Grigg. From the limited time we’ve seen from Neill, he’s the nearest thing we’ve got.A difference maker. Must start - and with Grigg who will thrive of his passes.

Which way is forward? I heard it changes at half time as well.He always looks to pass forward. I’m not used to seeing that, I found it confusing
Limited opposition or not you can tell that this lad is a very good player. The weight on that ball to Grigg today was absolutely perfect. We played 2 chance creating balls from centre midfield all game and they were both from him in the 15 minutes he was on.
Not sure on his contract situation but that needs amended NOW. If we languish in this league for any longer this lad won’t be with us much longer. I’d have absolutely no problem with him starting next week.
Rather that then Gooch startSo play him out of position great
I'd do this and play Gooch Maguire griggPlay him in a midfield 3 with Scowen and Power.
