Gus has signed.....ED. - or maybe he hasn't?

[horselover]

In those 6 months, we still played better football than we have all season under Parkinson

And in the top division, not versus shite, week in week out under Parkinson

 

[Roker Scoreboard]

What is the relevance of him being out of English football for a while, it's still football, there isn't something special or magical about it here.

Okay it doesn't look good he's been out of work for two years, if he was that in demand numerous jobs have been available since then.

Cowley would have been a far better appointment in my view.

Remind me how long ago?

whsts cowley achieve that’s better?

 

[SAFC_Jack]

And apart from a literal wonder strike we had control of that Final!

Was a cross as well

 

[Eddie Hitler]

Just finishing graft, any chance I can hop on the Gus bus yem?

 

[---Nemo---]

Why?

 

[horselover]

And apart from a literal wonder strike we had control of that Final!

And Fletcher missing a very late sitter to equalise

 

[Irishblackcat]

Can see him putting faith in youth if he is going to continue with his philosophy of possession football . Midfield of embelton leadbitter neil with gooch and diamond as high pressing wing players would do for me .

 

[Deleted member 12618]

Just remembered that he got us to a league cup final!

PROMOTION IS NIGH

Thats the spirit, now get on board, it'll be better than what we've been used to in this league so far.

 

[The Rat]

fair point, but i think he’ll actually make the difference even with current squad. He’s spoken and said he’s learnt from the mistakes he made here etc. and is about the best we could do in league 1 imo. We don’t need that much improvement to get out of this league

The big thing for me is he’ll be coming in knowing exactly what he’ll be working with, owners & sporting director and is obviously happy he can do the job based on that

been v doubtful about this takeover stuff n I still don’t trust the current 3 owners thst they will be involvdd

this be a clear departure from that though as Donald would never appoint him

At this level what he did with Lincoln and saving that Huddersfield side who were adrift in the Championship is more than enough to say he was a good fit to sort us out.

 

[PTR]

I always make a point of saying "I hope I'm wrong", but we were relieved when he was sacked and going back hardly ever works out well for anyone.

Other thing, if we're appointing a new manager today, that seems to imply the new owners didn't have Parky sacked ready to come in and take over.

I’m not sure gonna suddenly play a youth team like.

 

[KNGHTHOOD]

Gus and his wife Madelon over the moon to return to live in Sunderland. The council have promised they have put them at the top of the housing list.

I’ll ask again how’s that better than what Poyet did?

 

[chriswallace85]

2009-2013. Has football in league one changed that much, considering the football he was playing in this league was ahead of its time? Why the Cowleys anyway, cos their young n that? Their style of football is nigh on hoofball.

'Cos a fat lad on a website says they're adaptable.

 

[scurr]

whilst I'm happy with the news, I wonder who has made it. Has the present owner (spit) done it or is it by the new ones (hopefully) influencing from afar?

 

[phunboy]

Aye but when’s it getting announced?

I'm guessing before tonights game. He will surely want to be in the stands tonight

 

[The Rat]

That's a good point to be fair. The football we played in early 2014 under Gus was the best I've seen from a Sunderland side. The loss of Alonso, Ki and Borini spelt the end for him and then Rodwell.

And Bardsley, he was desperate to Keep him

4 of the first names on the team sheet,

do you think Donald and co are appointing Poyet? Or that he’d come here under the current ownership?

ha’way man.
