Steady mara. Where did I say I wanted him FFS. The reality is he ain’t going anywhere till he gets it wrong. If you think we are about to change manager in the next couple of months your deluded.
I don’t think we will. I think we will keep him as long as Donald owns the club. What o do think is it is fa it to judge him on what we have just witnessed. He was f***ing awful. Have you forgotten his first 10 games? This is league one you know.
 
he's got experience getting promoted from this division which could be key.
So has Shaun Goater. Let’s get him up front.
Yes. Very early to judge a manager who has not had time to either bring players in or have a close season with the current squad.
And if he fails he will have done no worse than many before.
Did he not have a transfer window in January?
Did he not have a three week break between games where he said he could get his tactics and thoughts across?

Read my post again mara. Where did I say I wanted him. I didn’t at the time and still don’t. He certainly isn’t and wasn’t my choice by a long way. But the reality is whether we like it or not he’s here to stay at least in the short term.
 
We should be going out and signing the best keeper available to us. We know how important it is to have a good goalkeeper and it makes no sense to settle on someone because they’re okay. That’s not how titles are won.

100 per cent yes
 
Parkinson can go get fucked, the clueless w@nker!

This. He should wake up every single morning and thank the Gods that he's the Manager of Sunderland AFC.
Finishing 8th in League One man and he's still here. You've got to laugh or you'll cry.

I think we all know who it's going to be mate. I reckon that's exactly why he was training with us, in case we could have got some coin for McLaughlin in January.

Disagree with many comments on this thread. A young keeper needs a chance to develop in real matches and absolutely should be out on loan to develop. Send him to the conference or league two for a season.

Im also glad we’re signing a keeper, just depends who it is. Nothing Parkinson has said is inherently wrong or bad.

Well yeah, it’s gonna be Alnwick but it’s the wrong approach. You need the best keeper available. Look at Liverpool and man city getting the top keepers available. I know we are in league 1 but it’s still the same principle where you get a match winning keeper respective to your level. You don’t simply stick with someone because they’re average at that level.

I'd be happy with average mate but sadly, we'd be getting well below with him.

The thing is "the best keeper available to us" is likely crap given how the financial situation is.
 
Everyone was saying burge was class after a couple of cameos in the cup, hes shite, hes our number 1 going into next season then I'm done with our club
 
After everything that’s happened, Burge is the final straw!?
Yeah to be honest, after that championship season not getting a keeper in relegated us, If we go into this season with burge in goal( and I know hes shit, others haven't seen it yet) that's us not winning promotion, I can see the gross incompetence a million miles off, if I can see it, and the club pay people thousands of pounds to manage this, then tgats me done sadly

Hes been fine for us
 
Give it a couple of months and Ben Alnwick will appear holding the scarf aloft.
“We’ve done a meticulous search of the footballing world for a replacement for McLaughlin and the recruitment team are convinced there’s nobody better out there than Ben”

What’s that Lee Camp upto these days? Or Steele?!
