O'Shea has a pop at the board

Uh oh.

The Ellis Short apologists aren't going to like that. The board can never be questioned....no matter how crap we are or for how long.

Of course they can. Not by this cowardly fucker though, he needs to have a look a bit closer to home before having a dig at those who pay his wages in return for very little.
 
It was widely reported

http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/fo...We-DID-force-Paolo-Di-Canio-out-of-Sunderland

Also, according to Di Canio (and O'Shea hasn't taken legal action to counter it), O'Shea was the one who criticised O'Neill to him as soon as he arrived.

This makes him a complete hypocrite imo.

I'd be interested to know what actually happened. One thing having a say, but I can't believe it played out as it was reported in some cases. Players knocking down doors and what not.
 
He is absolutely spot on, usual idiots mocking him here.

That's the usual idiots who have been proved right season after season.

While the supposedly sensible people keep blindly backing those primarily responsible for the mess we're in, season after season.
 
It shows its not just those with agendas that think short has done a f***ing shocking job as many on here would label them. He's been nothing short of a disaster in all honestly getting lucky the past few season by tossing a few quid at it when it's went tits up rather than proactively beFore it gans to shit. Biggest preseason of his time here if nowt changes we won't be as lucky again, he needs to make a statement of intent this summer or needs to actively look for a buyer.
 
Can't believe people are using going to the board to complain about di canio as a stick to beat him with, di canio was a shite manager and a f***ing maniac it's only a shame they didn't do it after the first pre season training session.
How does it make him a hypocrite? O'Neill had his head in the clouds and deserved the criticism he got.

It makes him a hypocrite as the article mentions not continually sacking managers. Should have a disclaimer -as long as they are agreeable with John O'Shea

There's nothing wrong with him going to the board and telling them what's going on behind the scenes that they're not aware of. Sacking O'Neill, Di Canio or anyone else is up to the board. Not John O'Shea.

That's not what they think, and it shows most weeks.
 
He's not saying anything that any reasonable fan hasn't been thinking themselves. We have without doubt underachieved but I think he's wrong to just blame the board and say it's not always the manager's fault because it patently was partly the fault of Di Canio and Poyet. He's right about the player recruitment though.....but then we all know that.

Let's hope it focuses minds at the club on the job ahead and some better decisions are made.

That as may be, but when you have as many lapses in concentration as O'Shea does, then perhaps you should keep your mouth shut!

He should be given the freedom of the city for getting shot of Di Canio.

Why? Is he not allowed an opinion?

"They can't keep sacking managers" There is everything wrong with him going to the board and over the man paid to manage him's head imo. It completely undermines the position.
 
Be very interested if oshea could point to which manager was sacked too early. As far as I can see each and every one of them resulted in a significant upturn in form and were probably there difference between survival and relegation. Plenty of blame to share around but are the things that oshea calls out the root cause of our issues or just the symptoms?
 
What he says is quite correct - it is however only half of the overall story. I don't mind O'Shea, he does a good job when we are camped out on the 18 yard line. I'd just like to see us defend higher up the pitch and not have 11 men behind the ball for 89 minutes. His age catches up with him when we attempt to do that.
