Club parts company with head coach.

Sunderland AFC have parted company with head coach Gus Poyet this afternoon.

The club would like to place on record its’ thanks to Gus and wishes him well for the future.

Chairman Ellis Short said: “I would like to thank Gus for his endeavours during his time at the club, in particular last season’s ‘great escape’ and cup final appearance, which will live long in the memory of every Sunderland fan.

“Sadly, we have not made the progress that any of us had hoped for this season and we find ourselves battling, once again, at the wrong end of the table. We have therefore made the difficult decision that a change is needed.”

An announcement will be made in due course regarding the head coach position.
@ChrisAshley he's been future endeavoured :eek:
 
Glad for you boys that they have got shot of Poyet...but don't expect miracles from a new manager. I have watched Sunderland a lot this season and I don't think you will turn things round that quickly because you simply don't have the players to do so. Sherwood has came in at Villa and has got the players playing to our strengths which is high pressing and using our pace on the counter. I just feel with your lack of pace all over the pitch whoever comes in is going to have a very hard job.
 
Same shite players, different manager. Shoestring budgets to work with mean this will keep happening until we are finally relegated.

That's bollocks mate. The players are there...they just play when they want to.

Not that I'm getting my hopes up but the minute this is advertised in the Jobs section of the Echo I'm applying.
