Regarding the appointment the Guardian reports:
"the Sunderland owner Ellis Short’s anger and frustration at the manner in which he perceives the FA has poached his manager."
and
" It has, though, been slowed slightly by Sunderland’s desire to gain a little more than £2m by way of recompense for the disruption caused to their transfer plans and pre-season preparations. Short was particularly irritated by the near two-week hiatus which followed his manager’s interview for the England job and immediately plunged the club into a potentially harmful limbo."
maybe some of you should just tell Ellis to "man up" - "get over it" -" stop crying", etc...
That's all fair enough. I share the same frustrations as him. Ellis rightly wasn't going to sack Sam and pay compensation to him and not receive the money he is entitled to from the FA. That would have been madness.
