Quite amusing seeing the announcement on twitter and all the mags saying "Sunderland fans will be fuming". I'd be amazed if anyone gave the slightest fuck either way tbh. Ex-manager who failed here and seems to have failed in other jobs since gets a job at a lower level (in terms of responsibility) with a PL club. Genuinely want to know why anyone thinks our fans would care. For all he failed with a side that should have got us promoted, and completely bottled the play off final, he seemed a decent bloke so it's good that he's back in employment, doesn't look like management is going to work out for him after a promising start

He was a total bottler of a manager mind. That Charlton OG had him absolutely shitting himself then he basically had us go 6-3-1 to try protect it

Genuinely think the Mags have done it just to try pretend they’ve “done us” :lol:

That’s not lack of bottle it’s not having the experience to deal with a situation appropriately

He absolutely shit his pants like. No getting away from that.

He was abysmal as his career since has shown. Wasn't he whacked 5, 6 and 7 weekly in his last job?

My point is you’re saying he had to cobble a team together which is bollocks as most of that team were already at the club. You can’t excuse the fact he was poor here and he should have got that team promoted.

How does already having some shite players that he won’t have wanted mean that team wasn’t cobbled together? Personnel wise that team was an absolute mess and not much can be left at his door with the absolute chaos he walked into when he joined.

Never once said I particularly rated him but people are too willing to say he lacked bottle when he had probably never been in anything approaching a similar situation before with the magnitude of that game.

He shouldn’t have been in the job then if he couldn’t cope with the lack of experience.

Agreed that is a valid argument. Still doesn’t make mine invalid

And he obviously hasn’t learned from the experience either.
