It’s really not. Both jobs are head coach roles at football clubs. Both jobs are outside the premier league so the average journalist and Joe on the streets couldn’t give a shit. Both jobs mean winning keeps you in a job and losing means you get sacked. Both jobs require somebody capable of working with young players and developing talent rather than older more experienced players. Both jobs need a clear connection between coach and supporters to keep them tenable. The only difference is the number of people that follow Sunderland at matches. Some coaches will enjoy the challenge of those extra people and some coaches will shy from it. But the ultimate pressure is no different - win and stay in a job, lose and get sacked.

Milton Keynes isnt ther goldfish bowl that sunderland is though - I bet he could walk the streets of Milton Keynes (if they had any!) and be unrecognised
 

I'd actually like Poyet back, but he has already turned us down this year, so obviously thats a non-starter.

What we need for the next season or two in my opinion is some stability in the Championship whilst we strengthen further. So I would be offering a couple of years contract to Mowbray assuming he was interested in taking the job. I really think he is the best fit for us right now, although possibly not what we want longer term.

One thing that AN was very astute at was analysing the opposition and preparing for them. I hope that is something that whoever we recruit as manager pays attention too. It clearly helped us.
 
I'd have Liam Manning over Lawrie McMenemy, Terry Butcher, Howard Wilkinson, Paulo di Canio, David Moyes, Simon Grayson and many others under whom we played turgid football.

Manning for me. More I read about him more I like him.

Yeah me too, I just want someone who is comfortable taking slightly more of a back seat to a DOF to be fair, if that’s the model we are sticking with. We can’t have two alpha male types jockeying to be in the ascendancy with each other all the time as that’s where the instability comes.

Shields might loan him to us ;)
 
Not a chance in the world people would be voting for Mowbray if the links hadn't already have happened.
