List of SAFC managers in my lifetime

[JAZMAN2]

1896 - 1939
no managers??

 

[Paninaro]

He was to blame. We weren’t even in the bottom 3 when Lawrie left.

We were going down that season anyway

12 months later he tried to credit for building the foundations of the team Denis Smith got promoted

Really ? Didn’t know that

 

[SpiritofBurnden]

Peter Reid as well?

Peter Reid never managed us.

Closest he got was assistant caretaker manager.

Sorry I thought it was just players becoming managers not specifically bolton and safc

 

[Paninaro]

Are we the only club ever to be relegated via the play offs ?

We were relegated in a play-off with Aldershot in the 80's.

 

[KNGHTHOOD]

All but Watson for me.

 

[humbug]

Didn't he come in for short while. I was like 12 at time but remember he came in as caretaker for a while. Might be completely wrong about it tho

iirc his first game was bradford away.

alan durban onwards for me.

38 manangers since I startedd going on my own in 66/67. Only 4 before since the club was founded. Bloody brexit.

That list is wrong as missing Bob Kyle August 1905 to May 1928 and then Johnny Cochrane June 1928 to March 1939 for example as it's missing a few managers from 1896 to 1939.

Here's a question for you.

Which game featured the most future Sunderland managers?

For example Bolton's would be v Derby in 1976 which featured four future managers, Rioch, Todd, McFarland and Allardyce.

Here's another question (bit daft I know) - imagine going back in time to 2000, watching a match between West Ham & Chelsea and being told that 2 of the players would go on to manage Sunderland.
Doubt any of us would guess Poyet & DiCanio.

 

[DJM]

A lot of them on that list never really managed at all well.

Impossible to answer as we clearly don't know who the future managers will be
